recylce vermiculite ?
    #9139362 -

ok, so heres a crazy question...

the verm layer that u dump out when you are birthing your cakes... can that be put in a bowl and used to roll after dunking?  or is that verm useless at that point?

You'd want to sterilize it. It's acted as a filter so there could be nasties on it.

It wouldn't be enough to roll a cake in anyways though.

I asked that once, and supposedly it would contain many molds being a filter...though really, aren't all vermiculite touching air Bourne contams?  Well, you could try it.

Fresh is certainly better, but if that's not an option you can reuse ime. There have been times when I couldn't find verm nearby or it was after hours when dunk time was up and I didn't want to wait till the next day, so I used the verm from the pf jars. Some had cobweb on the surface, so that verm got tossed, but any that didn't have any noticeable flaws I put in the oven for 30 min at 350. I've not had any contam issues after doing that.
