is cooling cakes off ok and cracked jars?
    #6834237 - 04/25/07 08:28 PM (17 years, 8 months ago)

i put some of my jars outside like 10-15 minutes after sterilizing them so they would cool quicker and i was wondering if that was ok and then my second question is, while i was sterilizing my jars 3 of them cracked a little bitof water got in, so i wiped down the jars with lysol sanitary wipes the layered 2 coffee filters over them and wrapped rubber bands around twice, so my actual question is , is it worth trying to make those jars work?

No. Start over and do it right. Don't leave your jars on the bottom of the kettle. Lift them totally out of the water so that nothing but steam reaches them. Allow them to cool naturally until they reach room temperature before inoculation. Throw away broken jars, since they're now ruined, and wet substrates won't colonize, so throw it out and start over.

no.if anything from the outside world got in after sterilizing them i would chuck em since they would not be sterilized anymore and more than likly harbor contams.oh and putting them outside is fine as long as they dont crack or anything i do this all the time and havent had any problems.
