I have a pressure cooker but get lazy some times and just boil inside of a (1/2 pack 26g)quart sized Mason jar with 16.9 oz water. Get a big pot with a lid. Fill the pot a third way up. Set a bowl in the middle. Next set your jar full of agar mix in bowl Top pot with lid and boil for 30 mins. I said boil for 30 not 30 all together. Once it starts to boil set your timer for 30 mins. Now your off to the races get you LC or spore print gas it up and GO!!!!! **Q: Is this product appropriate for baking?** A: Hello- No, this product is not intended for human consumption. **Q: Can I use this straight when making mushroom Petri dishes or do I need to mix agar agar with it?** A: No additional agar needed. Mix with water and pour into plates. **Q: is the bag re-sealable?** A: I think I have received one that wasn't but all the rest were. if not just put it in a small jar with a desiccant packet. ## Frequently Bought Together - Malt Extract Agar (MEA) 56 grams - 20 Pack Sterile Plastic Petri Dishes with Lid, 90mm Dia x 15mm Deep - Scalpel Sterile Blades #10 10pcs Sterile Individually Foil Wrapped, with #3 Scalpel Knife Handle for Biology Lab Anatomy, Practicing Cutting, Medical Student, Sculpting, Repairing --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/58782422-malt-extract-agar-mea-56-grammes-great-for-cultivating-mushrooms](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/58782422-malt-extract-agar-mea-56-grammes-great-for-cultivating-mushrooms) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-29*
