Take the 2-minute tour ×  I want to sanitize and dry off my
plate chiller using my oven. What temperature do I need to set
the oven to, and how long do I need to hold that temperatures
for?  share|improve this question Why do that instead of
recirculating boiling wort through it? –  baka Mar 6 '11 at
21:50 I don't have a pump, so recirculating isn't an option.
Plus putting the chiller away sanitized and sealed up makes me
feel better :) –  Pete Hodgson Mar 7 '11 at 2:32 This may seem
obvious - but don't sanitise plastic bottles in your oven. –

to hold at least 160F for at least 10 min.  share|improve this
answer Sounds right. That's the temperature you sterilize milk
at, anyhow, and in both cases, you're trying to kill
lactobaccili. –  Nick Mar 6 '11 at 23:48 Keep in mind too the
very inner core needs to get to 160F before you start the timer.
It might not take all that long, but its important to note. –
