Subject: Sterilizing pots

 Helll all,
 

I know soil can be sterilized in a microwave (although I haven't tried it, because I've heard it stinks) but what about sterilizing pots in the microwave? It would have to be easier than bleach soaking. But, I've no idea how long it might take.

Any guesses/theories?
