If simply washing a jar for you is a hassle, then I honestly think you should re-think this whole hobby

Trust me. Washing jars before hand is a must. I though the same thing "they'll get pressure cooked, they'll be sterile" and was greeted with 12 jars of cobweb and green mold. It is much rather worth the time and effort of washing your jars. Moreover, if contaminated substrates were in the jar previously make sure you soak them in bleach for a while.

Heh... and the insults begin to fly. And when people see you pressure cooking the jars, they just see this as every day dorm life?

where the hell do you get off?! you asked a question and you got a fucking answer... if you're talking about jars and substrate, you couldn't have possibly missed the part about STERILITY in that tek you read.

Or at least enjoy playing with wide-mouth jars on the toilet.

Wouldnt PCing the jars once empty, then cooling them, then making the jars and PCing them again do the trick? No way somethign can survive a double PC...
