I didnt say nothing about a PC :smile:

So microwave, oven, or boiling? I'd put my guesses in that order too..I'm not to sure though.

Rubber bands hold some degree of steam pressure inside & insure the lid doesnt POP of.

Is it a common PP style deli container?
Rubber bands hold lid on tight?
Maybe fill with PF style sub. beefed with poo?
Microwaved for a bit?
Kinda come up with a super cake?
No more steaming,boiling,PC'ing or BS like that?
Once microe'd snap lid tight and inoculate?Tape the hole up and incubate?
Come up with a quick PF style spawn?

Everything has already been mentioned here, except the poo substrate but that is not very important to the workings of it.

DANG.... it is true.

PP container, double layer micropore tape over hole in the lid, fill with PF style cake mix, beef up with aged h/poo (if available),no verm layer, nuke for 2.5 minutes 4 times, insure lid is snapped on tight - when removed from the microwave, allow to cool to room temp, inoculate with mult-spore or LC syringe, tape over needle hole with more Micropore tape & incubate as a cake - or for spawn to bulk sub.

You should microwave until it is boiling and then turn down to defrost to get a constant light pressure.
Here are some simple jars I microwaved. Rubber bands holding on a filter disc which has a blob of silicon as an injection port. These jars are now cased and coming along nicely.

For microwaving substrates (possibly your new dry substrate). The elastic bands prevent the lid from coming off when the lid goes beyond boiling. Pressure is released by steam going out the air filter. If it gets too pressurised the lid will lift when the elastic bands are under strain. When pressure decreases the lid is pulled back down.

Peas! the other is red kidney beans. Both were canned so were already sterile. I loaded them in jars and filled with water and heated and drained to get the added salt out. Then I put on filter lids and some more water and microwaved. The filter puffs up and gets under a light pressure inside which helps to evenly heat the substrate. Both jars were microwaved until they dried out a good bit. Those jars are only after 3 days innoc with koh samui LC. I cased them 7 days after injection, very fast coloniser.

I am sure it would work. My jars worked which are the same principle (though my substrate was already sterile).
I have used it before with success on sealed autoclave bags. They inflate completely and steam all the substrate inside so you are not as prone to hot/cold spots in the microwave. It effectively becomes a pressure cooker. It would be interesting to work out the pressures reached which could be done in many ways.

I am currently fractionally sterilizing 2 bags which had 2kg of dry wheat grain in them each. These bags are way too big for a household pc.

The problem with microwaving normal jars is moisture loss. This can be worked out though. You fill the jar up with standard PF mix. Weigh it, then add 50-100ml water and microwave it until it weighs its original weight. If it goes under by says 50ml, then inject 50ml of LC.
There will still be some water loss with the "elastic jar" should be only slight though. You should turn to defrost the second you see steam
