Sterilizing jars
    #9086430 - 10/16/08 12:42 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

Hello friends. Im boiling my jars right now. I threw a hole bunch of small rocks into the pot and topped it with a couple layers of aluminum foil. I filled with water to just bottom of jars. My question is, I should have the heat on the lowest setting possible while still getting some bubbles, right?

Don't know. You should really get a pressure cooker. Try craigslist or some sort of resale shop or maybe a garage sale. Peace of mind man, peace of mind.

I'd think that would be fine - might want a rolling boil though rather than a few bubbles. This method is steam sterilizing, so I assume the more steam the better.

Get a PC if you have the means.

I use a stock pot to do mine... what i do is crank it to high, and let it boil... when steam starts coming out of the lid, i turn it down to about 3-4 and start my timer there... 90mins from that point.

I have had no problems using the stock pot... no need for a PC right away. :smile: just be STERILE with all your actions.

good luck!
