>...has anyone ever tried using a crock pot to sterilize their soil
medium? The low setting is supposed to reach between 165-180 depending
on "environmental conditions", it doesn't use as much energy as the
oven and it won't heat up the house as much either.> \

Good diea. Older ones may npt reach that... sorta before the 140F laws,
or maybe took too long to reach that. A few got ill from missue/lack of
understanding. An oz or few, depending, will help. Moist soil, not wet,
is advised, nor dry as that takes longer to heat through. Pressure
cookers work also. I use an ovne windows open, wife, away, or a
pressure cooker. Small amounts I will do in a micro. Cell packs will
melt though... LOL!
