Sterilization... again
    #7696779 - 11/29/07 08:53 PM (16 years, 2 months ago)

Is there a set temperature that a jar needs to get to to be considered "sterile". I have a slow-cooker that I want to experiment with, it gets to about 200 degrees, which is almost the temperature of water needed to boil, so I figure its worth a shot.

According to WikiPedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow_cooker

most slow cookers cook at 194 degrees Fahrenheit.

Thanks in advance.

the reason we use pressure cookers in this business, is because water boils at 250 degrees when its under 15psi of pressure. Not 212 degrees.

A slow cooker wont get hot enough. If you don't have the cash to buy a pressure cooker stick with the PF tek.

Even with the pf tek, you will still need to get the water to boiling temperature. A pot with a tight fitting lid will work better than a slow cooker.

At most you can pasteurize with a slow cooker, never sterilize.
