How a home autoclave works<\/h3>\n

An autoclave is a device that ensures the destruction of bacteria, viruses and germs through a sterilisation process. The autoclave generates high pressure and temperature for a predetermined time. The temperature for complete sterilisation for food preparation is usually 110-120c.<\/p>\n

Autoclaves are divided into two main categories: steam and water autoclaves. The principle of how they work is similar, but there are some differences:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The amount of liquid used;<\/li>\n
  2. Heating and cooling time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Metal autoclaves and very reliable equipment. For domestic use, car bottles with a capacity of up to 18L are mostly used. In recent years, larger devices with a capacity of 22-25 litres have gained popularity. There are models with capacities up to 46 litres. Even larger devices are rarely used in domestic settings.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n
