Does bat guano need sterilizing, or are you all certain that it can be used on edibles?

I never thought of sterilization but I have used this for 2 years now and my vegetables taste great. I think it breaks down in the soil and does not affect taste or nutritional value, it does help yield and size.

I would not. These are sterile when you first open them. There is no way to sterilize them after that.

probably not very well. it seems to work best as a guacamole maker (you know: stuff you can add a little liquid to?) or salsa, or pickles for tuna salad. it is pretty small. it specifically says chopping chocolate is a bad idea; probably due to it potentially scratching the plastic.dry stuff like nuts comes out very unevenly chopped; but hey, i likes it just fine. maybe a more industrial (and more expensive) food processor is what you're needin'.

I prefer not to. You can't sterilize them. Can't remember if you can steam sterilize though. the spoons are plastic although they are soft. still, i bought silicone tipped spoons and rubber spoons for my baby because he chews on them. i didnt feel comfortable with the plastic. plus, you can sterilize it if it's silicone tipped. i saved mine for future use. im sure he will appreciate the colors better when hes a bit older or has teeth already.

The seeds are very clean but I do not know if they are irradiated. I usually put the seeds in a mug and pour boiling water over them to make fennel tea, so the heat would kill any bacteria. I put the fennel in soups and on pizza as well.

I Definitely would not use it on edible plants! A landscaper told me it is toxic. Good luck.

This is a food-grade PVC. It retains heat better than other materials to assist in drainage (if that's what you need) and it's resistant to chemical sterilization. I won't say that it is safe, but I will say I've been using them for years and I'm still alive. This mold is also carried by JayBee Industries, makers of "The Vat" pasturizer. If Bob trusts it, so do I.

Mr. Leger, I visited the USDA site. You say they don't "recommend," you should have said "require." (http://www.uga.edu/nchfp/publications/usda/GUIDE%203%20Home%20Can.pdf) Pressure canning is safer than the boiling water bath due to the higher temperature. The botulism spores are destroyed in pressure canning NOT at 212 degrees. The reason it is ALLOWED to can using the boiling water bath is that tomatoes are highly acidic. The spores do not grow in a high acid environment. Pressure canning is REQUIRED for low acid foods because the high temperature is what kills the spores. When pressure canning it isn't necessary to cover the jar, again because the temperature kills, not water contact. Mr. Leger, I visited the USDA site.

I don't know. I used it to make organic body cream... I am guessing it is edible...

DonnaThe directions on the container indicate that it is not advisable to put this on anything edible (for humans.) We use it to protect flowers and I spray it on our fruit trees before they blossom to keep the deer from eating the branches. We live in Northern Maine so I'm not sure we would have the same results as Washington State. Other than that the product works very well as far as we are concerned.

You would need to ask the company. I am trusting the labeling that it is organic. I use it to make candy and chocolate.

I think it depends on the environment but I personally wouldn't mind my person smelling edible. You can use that and then use a guy spray. The fact is that it's good for the skin.

I see a review several years old from Chucklehead on this product says that the FDA has approved for edible plants. Hope this hopes. I was just reading about the product to consider buying and saw your question and the review. Hope it helps!!

In the instruction booklet I believe it says you have to microwave it in order to sterilize it.

Depending on use, I guess. I would sterilize because I am using for medicinal herbal formulas.

I'd order now. I've never had any issues with Chocolate Bars (big or small) going bad. In fact, I've even eaten a 20 year old Snickers bar that was still good. It all depends on the storage conditions. Don't let it get hot, and don't freeze it. Obviously, getting it too hot melts the bar and deforms it, while freezing it can separate some of the coco oils from the paraffin, leaving some waxy deposits and discolorations in the bar. If you have a cool basement, when it arrives, leave it packaged up and store it there until you need it. Otherwise, if you're concerned with rodents or something, unpack it and put it in the refrigerator.

No that would be a autoclave and bag. This is good for losing up grime grit etc and clean and neutralize the Bactria but the next step is a autoclave and 15min on no more then 15lbs to sterilize item. Maybe a good book would help it did for more 27 years ago you need to know you hot and warm and cold zones etc ...depend makes awesome bags and cleaing agents good for machine. And other person it does work still with lid open. Hope this helps you and always happy to meet another one of us in this world but I tattoo goes hand in hand I guess.
