if you pressure cook your jars at the right pressure for the right time does that pretty much eliminate all the possibilties for contamination or can you still somehow get contams????

im just worried i dont want contamination

You can get contams innoculating. You can get contams birthing. You can get contams spawning. You can get contams casing. You can get contams fruiting.

If you use sterile techniques it's not highly likely, but there is ALWAYS a possibility. A glove box or flow hood will greatly reduce the risk.

Pressure cooking your jars will reduce chance of contamination greatly. It's also my theory (untested) that all the bacteria that has been killed can be used as organic matter by the fungi for food (Correct me if I'm wrong).

pf jars that have the right moisture content for 1hr-1.25hrs at 12psi (my old mirro)....had 1 contam jar from being too wet in a 2 year stent of growing...pressure cookers do a great job of sterilizing...however it can in no way eleminate the possability of contam since contam can come from inoculation, from the needle, the spore solution if its contam, or from the air when you open the tape over the inoculation holes...
but as far as sterile substrate as soon as the jars come out out of the pc? if cooked long enough at the right pressure they will be sterile
