Cracks in Jars?

I was just semi-sterilizing my jars as per PF Tek, and 3 of the jars developed small cracks in their bases. Should I still inoculate these jars or would it be better to just throw them out and keep the others? I can't tell if they're still water-tight or not as they are already packed with substrate. Thanks.

Might as well keep them going, it couldn't hurt. As a precaution, you might want to duct tape the cracks, but I imagine they're pretty tight cracks that won't let H2O escape anyhow.
I presume you had the jars sitting right on the bottom of the pot. You should cover the bottom with something like a towel/rack/plate/etc.

Alright thanks man, I'll keep them going. And I was aware that this could happen, and I did put a towl down first, but the pot ran just slightly out of water before I came back to finish the process, and I found 3 jars slightly cracked . Thanks for the advice though!

I have this happen with a little half pint once. I taped it with a little scotch tape to just be safe and the bottom actually came out a bit while i was shaking the jar(it was wbs). I quickly put it back together and duct-taped it shut and it fruited just fine.
Just be a bit careful with em and you'll be alright.
