What happens to a plate if agar is too hot?
You may kill your bacteria. To avoid this problem we "defrost" the agar in the microwave for 3-8 minutes (depending on how much you have) to liquefy it. It is important to loosen the cap of the agar container so that it doesn't explode in the microwave--never heat a closed system. When the agar comes out of the microwave it is too hot to plate with without the risk of killing your bacteria. Kepp the agar liquid by leaving in a 60 degree C water bath. When the temperature of the agar equilibrates with the bath it should be safe to use.
