I do not know how effective it is , but i will say this; my wife bought me a UV cell prone sterilizer so it exists, even has a little place to add esential oils if you want to smell good in the process

Is there such a thing as a uv sterilizer for home use?is uv as good as the heat steam method
@mikepinkerton UV "sterilizers" do not actually sterilize, they mildly disinfect. You can use a pressure cooker like Mirro Matic, heat at 250°F 15psi (turn knob to 3 on the stove) for 20mins. It acts like a very inexpensive autoclave. Best to use a sterilization pouch like Dynarex for the steam sterilizing indicators.

The problem with electric pressure cookers is most are only 10psi but only a few are the required 15psi. They do not properly vent to evacuate all the air. You can compensate for this by using a longer processing time.
My husband grows mushrooms. You have to sterilize the growing medium. What takes one hour in my stovetop pressure canner takes three hours in our instapot ultra.
