Hi, i've been spreading mycelium on wheat to new wheat, and for sterilizing the wheat, I use a regular pot and first boil the wheat and then partially disinfect it by putting it in a glass container and using a water bath in a normal pot. I've read in tutorials that it's best to use a pressure cooker because it reaches the necessary temperature for sterilization and that it can be done with a regular pot but with a higher risk of it not working. I've been using a regular pot and so far everything has been working out for me. I've managed to spread the mycelium to new wheat. That's why I'm wondering, how indispensable is using a pressure cooker? Is it worth buying one? Or can I keep doing it with a regular pot?
