Is there any other way to sterilize your pf jars without using a pressure cooker?

You can boil PF jars for 45 minutes, but it's second best to actual pressure cooking.

a pressure cooker is worth the investment.

it's hard to do all that work and watch it get destroyed from a contam.

actually you'll need to boil them for over an hour, 75-90 minutes.  45 will almost garuntee you a bacterial ridden mess... been there done that. :smile:

but the bigger point, this question as well as all the others you're probably about to ask are answered in the pf-tek FAQ.  i'd suggest reading it... maybe even twice.

okay thanks, should i put a lid on top of the pot while cooking or leave nit uncovered? Also how will i do that since i have to make holes on the lids is the tape on top of the holes good enough to keep water out of the jars?

you have to put foil over the jars, tight.

the pf tek should cover this all in detail.

I wouldn't say 45 minutes is a guaranteed fuck up waiting to happen, but I would recommend at least an hour too. PC's just make life easier and sterilization quicker. You can sterilize any whole grain without a PC if you grind it like you would brown rice. This would be as a substitute for brown rice, of course.
