These are 1/2 cup (4 oz.) (four-ounce) juice glasses and
a dosing cup for Milk of Magnesia or something---I'm just glad there was a little extra
to put in something else, ya know?
Anyway, I microwave-heated the 2 cups of water alone to about 120 F* and stirred-in the 4 tablespoons
one-at-a-time with the tines of a FORK; this kept the flakes from sticking to what would have
been a spoon otherwise, like, just at the surface---you'll thank me!
Once the flakes were dissolved pretty well, I microwaved the mixture again until it was pretty much
almost about to boil, but NOT quite, with my finger on the STOP button.
I have found that it is NOT necessary to even get near boiling to use this stuff, but completely dissolving
ANYTHING in liquid is always the weigh to go, lol---
OK, with my juice glasses and dosing cup in the sink, i deftly poured the agar solution into the glasses
and dosing cup in the sink and rinsed out the measuring cup with HOT water and set it aside for next time.
I KNEW there'd be a next time. THIS next time, it'll be in about 4 weeks, when i sprout several REAL seeds
in agar for 2019's growing season!
