2pint cake
    #8118249 - 03/07/08 11:59 PM (16 years, 10 months ago)

one of my friends wants to do a 2pint cake using a ziplock 2pint (32oz) pp5 container.

he's thinking of nuking it in the microwave for 4-5 minutes and inoculating it 4 times pf tek style.

:/

has anyone done a 2pint cake?

he has his heart set on trying this. I'm going to suggest a large verm reservoir which will make it so the center doesn't need to be sterilized raising his chances of success.

any thoughts?

Why on earth does he want to do this?

If you make a giant cake what will you do if it contaminates?

What is the purpose of making this giant cake anyway?

Have you thought about doing casings instead?

Now I assume it's just the novelty of a giant cake that has lured you in but I can assure you that your large zip lock cake will be a pain throughout the process and additionally I've also heard from many people that microwave is the form of cooking that kills nutes the most. On this one I'd just stick to convention. Those are my thoughts.

Make a lot of injection spots so it colonizes faster. Why not boil it in a pot for an hour or two? I assume it won't melt the plastic because it needs to be able to withstand temperatures above 212 just so it can be sterile and liquid water never goes above 212 unless it is under pressure.

i only used 6ccs

400 for 2 hours is more than pcing for two hours at 15psi

15psi = 250f

I have seen many reason why not bother with cakes larger than a pt. even heard awful things about pts. I see the novelty and the good old american way of "faster and bigger" but in this case its "slower colonization and more contams"

I think you owe it to him almost everyone here thinks it's a dumb idea.

People have filled decent sized tupper ware containers up with brown rice flour pf-style and colonized it perfectly fine, two pints wouls/could work also but it takes longer to colonize whjich means it could contaminate easier

At least boil it, nuking will not work. You need to be extra sure you kill everything inside the bag because of how god-awfully long that is going to take to colonize... On that note, good luck! Can't wait to see it work.

But it should also be noted that microwaves commonly heat the exterior of whatever is in them so the middle will take quite some time to heat. Personally I dislike putting plastic in the microwave for my food, never mind putting it in a microwave for an extended period of time and then growing mushrooms that will eat all that leached plastic. I've seen people say it works, but man microwaves are bad news and I wouldn't touch one with a ten foot poll when it comes to my mushies.

haha

I told him to use a large verm reservoir too so it wouldn't need to sterilize the center.
