Not a good idea to expose that to heat
-
you don't need to heat dessicate it, a silica packet will do just as well
-
it also doesn't need sterilization
Basically this sub is lemmys diwhy?

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

TIL: powdered Gatorade exists.
Lmfao what is this magical place
Now this is appropriate content for this community. Well done, dullster.
This is probably unnecessary. The powder itself should be very shelf stable so I would have just repackaged it in vacuumed sealed bags or get an attachment to vacuum seal the jars (vs heat canning).
That would cost money
Unlike heating your oven
In the ballpark of 40 cents, less if OP is making his own energy.
Actually, even less is he slid these in after baking a lovely lasagna.
On the other hand, maybe hassling OP over his choice of method to preserve some electrolyte powder wasted the most energy.
Energy is not wasted if it makes someone feel bad
I hope this is real
i just want to know why it's in the oven
It's called dry oven canning. The oven heats up the contents of the mason jar, so when I put the lids on and let them cool, the air inside comes to a lower pressure and we get a vacuum seal. Same notion as you see with jars of salsa, where the little circle on the lid pops up only once you crack the seal
Just a note that dry canning is pretty bad and has a much much higher chance of botulism than other canning methods. (Botulism spores must be kept at-heat at 160C dry heat for over 2 hours, not the oven temperature, but the full temperature of the medium itself)
It doesn't matter here much because it is already powdered, shelf-stable mix, but in general.

Bro what are your gatorade needs such that this is necessary?
Dunno about OP, but the advent of Long COVID comes with a 5x increase in new diagnoses of POTS. Lotta new passengers on the electrolyte train. On high symptom days, I have a junkie-like relationship with calcium antacids and salt shakers.
fuck yeah electrolyte gang
What's pots?
I appreciate you asking. Excellent explainer here.
I see, thanks, never heard of it.
How does Gatorade help with that?
Electrolytes can help you retain fluid within your vasculature, which helps with pots bc it increases your blood pressure until you pee it out
Mostly the treatment required a fluid intake increase and salt intake increase. Put almost too simply, electrolytes are just fancy salts
Ty Carrot!
And to go back to complicating it just a little, those metal salts (particularly sodium, calcium, potassium, and magnesium, plus iodine to make them all do their jobs) make your nervous system and endocrine system work. If the salts and fluids aren’t riding around the vascular system correctly, all sorts of automatic body processes start getting fucky. That’s dysautonomia, like in the name of that website.
Isn't it meant to get wet?
TWSS
i don't know what that stands for, so i just read it like you said it as a word. still works.
That's what she said
okay, that's cool i guess? but who is "she" and why did shey say "twss"?
The first air tight container was too big?
Yeah, last time I bought one the powder captured enough moisture that the can corroded. I only drink it about once a week so there's powder sitting for a while
You can order food safe packets of silica beads to absorb moisture
Why is that better than putting the powder in reusable jars?
Couldn’t you just put it in the fridge?
