too bad we cant get large square PC's that work on two burners... enough to stack some shallow casing trays that would be some shit.
i figured out what worked best for me in this hobby... now, its trying to get max yield, min space, in less time.

arainbow said: here is the wiki page on PP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polypropylene the recycle symbol is 5 with a pp or hdpp or ldpp under it some of the small containers are made of PVC and PVC can't even tack boiling water
good info. i wonder if any of the tupperware in question has a dishwasher safe sticker or something on the packaging. then you could reasonable assume that they could withstand steam sterilizing/pc-ing, right?

PP has been used in this field for a long time. Take a search on the forums and you'll notice a lot of people using it over and over in their PC's.

And more than use listed, I see new members wondering if it is ok to try pressure cooking plastic containers.
I hope that the people who find it advantageous to use it do so after seeing positive results.

I started out using Ziplock Twist N Seal..I now have 6 of them.. I just picked up two more tonight, except these are 32 oz. I also have been using nail buckets, like the one in the pic with the WBS in my supplies gallery folder. Not sure on the size, but I have it 3/4 full, Amazon on WBS. It's about 80% colonized..I would throw some pics up but my sister has my camera in TX. But yeah the PP is the shit.. saves money and space and is fairly idiot proof in the sense of accidently dropping them.
