Microwave sterility
    #7523715 - 10/16/07 03:08 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

Does simply nuking a cake on high sterilize it, or is it necessary to use the oven technique?

From my experience with this, it led to alot of cleaning....

Either the lid pop's off and chunks of pfcake cling to everything inside your microwave or the cake drys out. This is not a suitable method of sterilization even though some claim success I never had a single pfcake succed when attempting a microwave nuke :smile:

Your better off boiling the jar's if a Preasure cooker is not available to you.

place the jars on a cloth on the bottom of the pot, measure the water out so its halfway up your jars, bring the water to a boil and place on the lid removing every so often to allow steam to escape less you want a watery mess all over your stove..

Happy cultivation!

The only thing I use a microwave for in this hobby is to:

a) heat water to put into the PC to give it a jumpstart

b) heat water to dissolve the honey when making LC

c) heat water to clean out syringes quite efficiently
