i don't have access to a stove or preasure cooker so i was wondering how well puting the jars in the microwave w/ plastic wrap on top would do for sterilization? does anyone have experience with this?

I have successfully done 1/2 pint jars from the microwave (substrate was Verm and BRF with a 3/4" topping of dry verm). I used plastic wrap over the jars/substrate and put it on high for 8 Min. I then waited 4 hours for the jars to cool. Then boiled the lids (you will need a pot for this). I then brought the pot with the lids in it and transfered the jars over to my oven (using the oven tek) to secure the lids and innoculate the jars.
