Although autoclaves have many important scientific and industrial USES, we will introduce later, but the main focus of this article will be how to use these handy machines for sterilization.
You've probably heard of a pressure autoclave? It wasn't until the 1980s that the microwave became popular, and they became popular. They are like large saucepan, cover the lid, when you put them filled with water, they will produce a large number of high pressure steam, make your food to cook faster (if you want to know more, please see the box at the bottom of this page).
Autoclaves work similarly, but often in a more extreme form of cooking: long enough steam to spray bacteria and bacteria on steam to kill bacteria. Autoclave extra pressure means that water boiling temperature is higher than the normal boiling point point - roughly 20 ° C hotter - so to hold and carry more calories, more effectively kill microorganisms. Long periods of high-pressure steam are more effective in penetrating and disinfecting than in regular hot water.
