Microwave casing question

I'm just curious if you guys think it would be sufficient to microwave a casing mix of 60/40 verm and coco for 10 minutes without a cover and use that as my casing. I don't have a PC and I don't have a cover for the glass dish i'm going to use. I'm just wondering if anyone has had any luck with this. If not, do any of you have any opinions as to whether it will contam or not? Thanks.

i've cased to 60/40 for the past two grows, and i've always used the 10 minute microwave tek for sterilization (stirring at the 5 min point). i've never got hit with any contams. but then again im a clean guy and take a lot of precautions (glovebox, sanitizers, gloves, mask etc.). In my experience it will be more than enough for sterilization. but watch out man, let that stuff cool down before you smother your myc with it, it gets really hot being in there for so long. Aslo it tends to dry it out a little, so make your mixture just a little more wet than you want it in the end product. Good luck!

Well I'm not a clean guy... and i nuke my casing for 10 min. with a break and shake at 5. Just put nylon warp over the glass dish and use a fork to make a few holes for the steam to flow. thats it, i use what i need and than put it aside covered with another layer of warp. When i need to case again i nuke it again for 5 min. Never had any contam of any kind. good luck.

dont ya think 10 min is a lil much?? i put my casing mix in a plastic bowl and add water, i dont mesure i just fill itup till its super saturated and cover with syran wrap. and throw it in the mic for 2 min, shake it up and repeat 2-3 times. the syran wrap seals together and makes a realy good seal. once its cooled down i grab a handfull and squize out the extra water then apply it to my casing, and the extra i just squize it to field capacity and put it into a ziplock bag for later. ive used it after 2-4 weeks of being in the ziplock baggie w/ no problems.. just 
l8r, will

I am not lost.. i am going there looking for it.. and when i get there and find it, i will know what it is..

"yes i want to hear what my mind has to say..." remember opions are like assholes, everyone has one and they all stink.
