Page "Sterilization (microbiology)" Paragraph 10
from
Wikipedia
Additional sterilizing time is usually required for liquids and instruments packed in layers of cloth, as they may take longer to reach the required temperature ( unnecessary in machines that grind the contents prior to sterilization ).
Following sterilization, liquids in a pressurized autoclave must be cooled slowly to avoid boiling over when the pressure is released.
Modern converters operate around this problem by gradually depressing the sterilization chamber and allowing liquids to evaporate under a negative pressure, while cooling the contents.
