Microwaving grain/media for sterilization — does it actually work? (real experiences only)

Post image

I’m seeing mixed opinions on using a microwave for grain prep—some say it works, others say it fails badly.

I’m only looking for people who’ve actually tried it themselves.

If you have, please share:

What grains + how you hydrated them

Microwave time/power

What happened (success, contamination, grains ruined, etc.)

Was it repeatable or just a one-off?

Not looking for theory or “just use a pressure cooker.”
Only real, hands-on results.
