Baking or Boiling - A PF Jar Alternative??

How about it? Can substrate jars (PF for instance) be baked in an oven before inoculation process, as do some people do for clean casing substrate?? Assuming that you dont have a giant pot or a pressure cooker?? Reason being, that if acceptable, could allow for more jars to be prepared at one time. Theoretically, could this prove to be a feasible alternative too boiling sterilization??

oven is going to dry the shit out of your substate. stick to boiling in a pot if you can't manage to get a pc use somewhere.

Alright, I will stick to boiling, but I also wanted to know if baking substrate prior to mixing with water...then sterilizing is damaging to the nutrients and should be avoided? Talking PF, BRF substrate here. Or is this redundant because the actual sterilzing occurs while boiling / PC ??

Baking will do nothing to sterilize. It is also a physical impossiblity for water in grains to exist in a liquid state at a temperature above 212F/100C, so by the time your substrate reached that temperature, it would be totally bone dry and worthless. If you're making brf jars you can boil them per the pf tek, otherwise, you need to invest in a pressure cooker. RR
