MGMC - str8 from the bag or pasteurize/sterilize/micro?
    #6515108 - 01/31/07 12:55 AM (17 years, 2 months ago)

Ok, if possible I'd really like to avoid pasteurizing it. How safe is it to use straight from the bag?

Should I at least microwave it? But I'm kinda reluctant to do that 'cause my microwave has food splatter all over it, I guess I should clean it anyway.

So..
  • If I microwave - How long and in what?
  • Sterilize or pasteurize?
  • If I was to pasteurize, how would I go about that?

Place in a microwave safe container.
Hydrate.
Cover with saran wrap.
Microwave for 2 minutes, then wait 15 minutes.
Another 2, and another 15.
And a final 2, and wait for it to cool (hours).


There are tons of ways to pasteurize. I personally like using a cooler. I boil water, pour it into a cooler with a heat thermometer. I watch for the temperature to hit 170-180 degrees and then I put my casing material in. I use plastic bags tied at the top, and then place a plate on top to keep them from floating.

60 minutes later I open and check the temperature. If it's still high, I leave it in for another 30 minutes. Easy, and relatively clean.

def pasteurize. i load my hydrated casing into quart jars and heat it to 150 degrees on the stove for about an hour and a half(use a cooking thermometer to watch the temp.) microwave works for alot of people too.

If you don't pasteurize, don't be surprised if it contams after a flush two.
