How long do you cook dirt to the kill germs?

Answer 1

The internal tempeture of the dirt should be 180 degrees F for one half hour. The dirt used should be moist, not muddy or dry. The dirt should be covered so the moisture stays in the dirt and helps heat it. Set the oven temp for 190. When an internal oven thermometer registers 180 degrees set the timer for one half hour. Be careful that the dirt doesn't get hotter than 200 degrees because undesirable things happen to the dirt at higher tempetures. Using aluminum baking trays and aluminum foil is a good way to go. If you cook then you know a chicken needs to be 180 in the thigh to be safe to eat, same here but the dirt needs a half hour at 180 degrees..
