30% isnt a good rate. 10% is better. 5% is good. 2% is GREAT.
BTW, jars of what?

Yep, that's a really high contam ratio. Invest in a good pressure cooker if you want to get past the starting line in this hobby

I actually used no pressure cooker and ive successfully started 20 jars, all contam free. You just have to be fast and efficient in what you are doing. I used a regular soup pan and a vegetable or pasta cooker. I cooked over boiling water for about 90 minutes. Still though the first jars i ever did, which was a joint process with my cousin, we used the same cookers and 6 out of 12 contamed. So it really has to do with how well prepared you are to just get er done.

a FOAF boiled his first 12 PF cakes and didnt lose a singe one to contamination. 2-3 hours boiling/steaming has worked for him I recommend aluminium foil lids, one permanant, one you can take off for inoculation. http://www.fungifun.org/pf/pf_en.htm

I lost maybe 3 out of 12 cakes (1/2 pint) my first time around only boiling the jars. Since i bought a pressure cooker i havent lost any of 50 or so quart jars and 30 pint jars.
