Hi, all. I'v been using pre sterilised grips tips needle all in one. Thinking of doing stanless grip and throw away tips. what does everyone else use. Also while i'm here, when i was doing piercing i tried sterilising in a pressure cooker. I put items i sterilise packs that had to turn a certain coloure to be right. Well they did so does anyone else use a pressure cooker to sterilise?

Stainless grips + tips for lining
Stainless grip and disp tip for shading

And you can change the colour indicator of a clave bag by running it over the steam from a kettle

A pressure cooker really?
I use a auto clave steam one but that's a real high pressure one and it says on the packets and the clave instructions that even though it turns the arrows black or gas yellow doesn't mean they are sterilized I ultra sonic my equipment then clave it without the packaging then once all cool and dry i put them in the packet seal them and clave them again it says minimum 10 minutes but I run it for 15 to 20 minute may make a difference may not. Long I follow all this and I am happy with it then it's good for me in time once I have a studio the gas clave will be purchased

Just read this from another thread.
[h=2]Re: Do I Need an Autoclave?[/h]
A 15 psi pressure cooker is sufficient to kill bbp(blood Bourne pathogens) on your equipment,they can be purchased for around 30 pounds from Robert dyas.When run at full temp they reach 132c,tubes should be in this temp for 30 mins min.this info was verified by my local council.Hope this helps.

Think i'll stick to disposable, just in case.
