Will it withstand autoclave sterilization?

I don't think so. I left the first one I ordered in my car, and the heat made the plastic very soft, which caused it to allow water to leak inside of it.

I can't answer this question. I'm confident that it can be washed in soapy water and dried for use without harming it, but an autoclave? I'd check with the manufacturer.

As an RN I have to ask, "Are you serious?" It should go without saying that this would NOT be able to stand up to being autoclaved! You could disinfect it but it was not made to be sterile. Hope this answers your question but just in case let me state this plainly, my answer is NO.

You should ask the manufacturer or reseller just in case the DryCase would be damged so you can get a refund

Depending on the level of heat you put under it, sterilization starts at 15 PSI but it can go up to 20 PSI. You will enjoy it!

Yes, it is fairly durable as long as you cast .25" mold vs. .125" or less. I would cast a one off and then put it through some tests and see how it does. Check their website for the official hardness also known as "Shor A" or "durometer" rating. It is very similar to POM aka Delrin aka polyacetol. It is not soft like rubber "40 durometer" more like 75 to 80 like a plastic. Should hold up to finger pressing but I wouldn't drop it as it can be brittle. Ambient environmental temperature can be important. Would not use in extreme low temperature for example. Does this help?

Yes, but I've been told to take it out before using so it can get room temp and soften. Refrigerated it will last several months.

It works very well!!! Using it for sausage making as well. I never autoclaved it, but depending on the method you could.

Since it is stainless steel, I would think there would be no reaction and should be fine! That's sounds like a good idea..never heard of that.

Yes. The instruction leaflet says "suitable for all forms of sterilization" and "wash in warm soapy water and rinse in clean water or use a dishwasher. "

I doubt that it will withstand the heat. I received the lid, which was missing, either in February or March of 2015. As of right now, the lid is warped. I am located in South Florida. I hope this information is helpful.

Since it is stainless steel it will likely do fine provided you're not taking it up to temperatures that will have a detrimental structural effect on the steel. I'd think that you will be ok up to about 230C. Keep in mind this is an educated guess, I've got an aluminum chamber and it's been handling 175C just fine.

Probably not. It cleans by ultrasonic vibration, I would not expect "sterilization" If that's what you mean.

yes this product will indeed withstand heat. We had used it on a part on our car (the high pressure hose) and it was fixed right away. To this day, we have no problem with hose. We gave this to our mechanic and he uses it all the time in some of the repairs that he needs to do and even says that it is awesome

No. If it arrives undamaged, parts complete and you assemble it properly it should last a lifetime. It's very well built.

According to the response I received from a Lyman Service Technician it should withstand the melting point of Cast Iron which is Greater Than 2,000 Degrees F.

I've been using it for 40 years or so. If the problem is contamination, varnish or dirt, I've never seen it fail. Hard to tell from the brief note you wrote just what's wrong, but it can't hurt!

Weird coincidence that you should ask. I presume you're asking because (like me) you want to use this as part of a sous vide project. Mine died during the cooking of Thanksgiving turkey. I don't know for certain that heat was the cause of the failure, but the plastic parts had warped, so it seems clear the casing was never designed for high temperatures.

Absolutely! I have never had an issue. It's a tight seal and keeps things fresh.

The jars, yes. The lids, probably for a short time...I sterilize them in boiling water, so I know they can withstand at least that level of heat.
