Alot of people use the microwave to sterilize their casing mix just put it in for 5minutes then mix it up and put it on for another 5 minutes. Thats what I hear

The number of jars depends on the containers your using and how thick you want to layer them

I once had problems microwaving my casing mix. Now I just mix big bags and pasturize in hot (160F) water for 1 hour.

well your cakes are already colonized before starting...

the thicker the substrate layer, the more nutrients. thus the more potential for bigger mushrooms, and more yield overall (through multiple flushes and more per flush towards the later flushes than you'd get with a thinner substrate layer)

ideally, everything, substrate with casing layer, should come up near the top edge of your container to help prevent co2 from settling into pockets that would be created within the "walls" of the container... so judge for yourself if 2 cakes is enough or you should use 3, depending on the size of your casing containers.
