An electric oven, dishwasher, and microwave are great for sterilizing cans. Such sterilization takes a minimum of time and effort.
Oven sterilization
It is very convenient to sterilize jars and lids in an electric oven. It is enough to put the jars, moist after washing, on a baking sheet, bottom up and turn on the oven for 15 or 20 minutes, setting the temperature to 120-140 degrees. On the same baking sheet, you can expand metal lids for cans, without rubber bands. After the specified time has elapsed, the cans will be dry, sterilized and can be used to store various blanks.
Microwave sterilization
It is most convenient to sterilize small jars in the microwave. It is important to remember that there must be water in the jars, otherwise they will burst. In each jar, you need to pour water about two fingers in height and turn on the microwave for 3 minutes at a power of about 900 watts. Larger jars can be sterilized one at a time by laying on their side, also pouring some water first.
The sterilization time directly depends on the size of the cans. The larger the volume, the longer it takes to sterilize the jar.
Dishwasher sterilized
As practice has shown, this method is also quite effective, despite the fact that the water temperature in the dishwasher is less than 100 degrees. The cans washed with soda should be placed in the dishwasher and set to the highest water temperature, without adding detergent.
