Autoclave? Please give me some idea?


Can a mortar and pestle be autoclaved to sterilize them? If not, how can I get them sterilized before I can use them free of bacteria? Thanks for any help.

Mortar and pestle are usually ceramic, so yes they can be autoclaved. But if the one you are using is not ceramic, then you will have to make sure it won't melt at 121 degrees.

It would probably depend on what they are made of. Most materials can be safely and effectively autoclaved.
