A good pressure cooker, and using it properly.

You don't need to take any precautions when making substrates prior to pressure cooking. At correct P.S.I., coupled with a lenghty duration of time, all bugs will die in the pressure cooker.

Yah, jars or bags in a pc for hour or two works wonders. If doing bulk you can use a microwave for the substrate, but that is about it for bullshit methods.
