How to make agar

Making agar to grow your cultures is like making jelly!!
the ingredients needed are:
1.a vegetable or chicken stock cube
2. 1/2 teaspoon of sugar
3. some gelatin
4. 250ml of water
That's about it!

instructions:
1. Wash your hands to remove any contaminations.

2. Take a deep pan, put it on the stove and turn up the heat on pan. pour all ingredients in it and stir well.
    let it boil for a few minutes until no lumps are left and then simmer for 30 mins.

3. pour the mixture in your petri dish or petri dish like think and cool in a fridge to let the liquid become jelly.

4. Keep the dishes upside down to stop moisture forming on it and store for later use.

So literally I told you a chicken or vegetable jelly recipee. Enjoy the jelly or grow stuff on it.
