PAsturization
    #7035529 - 06/11/07 09:48 PM (16 years, 9 months ago)

Im about to apply a casing and have just read many things about using the microwave to sterilize. NOw wouldnt the inside of the microwave reach above 160-180(which is pasturazation temps.) Or does it matter if it goes above that? Because i know you PASTURIZE your bulk substrate and i belive ive read you also pasturize your casing...so wouldnt a microwave sterilize and not pasturize thus causing a potential bacterial bloom??
Thank YOu

Correct. I recommend against using a microwave. You want the center of your casing material to be at 140F to 160F for an hour. Use a meat thermometer stuck into the casing material or compost, and use whatever method you devise. You can search posts with my name and 'pasteurization tek' for how I do it.

"pasteurization" i've found is easy by boiling a large pot of water, and using a 5gallon bucket, and a pillow case, and a weight of some sort, place casing mix or substrate in pillow case, and weight down in 5gallon bucket, bring to temp, place lid on, check after half hour, temp should be same, maybe add a touch of boiling water, set another thirty mins, check, repeat, or, only go an hour, i prefer to "pasteurize" at 170*F for two hours. (quotations emphasize correct spelling)
