No. Media sterilization requires 121C (250F) at 15psi for 15 minutes. It is generally done in an autoclave, but can be done in a pressure cooker. Tyndallization is another alternative, which is just boiling for 15 minutes three days in a row, and incubating at a warm temperature in between. It is not 100% effective. Instruments can be sterilized in an oven. Dry heat sterilization generally requires 160C (320F) for 2 hours or 170C (340F) for 1 hour.
