>Could we go into more detail as to why such high temperatures are required
>to reuse jars (I'm thinking canning jars here) for honey?
Your county health department is the best place to get advice. If not
selling in stores I wouldn't worry.
In Iowa you can process honey in your home kitchen with your pet cat sitting
on your shoulder but not in Missouri.
( nasty emails from beekeepers in Iowa will follow!)
>How about the canning jars as they come out of the plastic wrapped cases in
>which they are shipped.
As long as they are not exposed to dust etc. they do not need washed.
>Why isn't the wash cycle in a dishwasher sufficient?
Not sure. I only know restaurants in Missouri with *dishwashers* the temp is
supposed to be set at 170 I.
>And, if one has the sanitizing option in their dishwasher, isn't the
sanitizing process sufficient?
I have looked at commercial dishwashers but not saw the sanitizing option. A
worker coming in to help extract tomorrow worked as a dishwasher at a large
restaurant for a couple years I will see if he has information.
I *think* drinking glasses can be processed as like bars with the three sink
process but not sure.
>Just the wash cycle supposedly cleans eating utensils and dishes

Would be for me and you. I don't make the rules but I do follow the rules
(most of the time).
Rules could be very different for you county & state. I am both county and
state inspected.
Having attended many national conventions my fellow beekeepers all follow
similar rules. Missouri is especially tough on potable water and
septic/sewer rules.
Placing a stove in the honey house adds all kinds of new rules.
Years ago I had a cozy wood burning stove in my honey house. Health
department said had to go.
Another beekeeper kept his by making a wall and putting in a sliding door
around his wood stove.
Another simply ran his sink water outside and the health department made him
install a septic.
Now I can get a ticket if caught without my seatbelt or ride down the road
on a motorcycle without a helmet and I hear in the future donuts will be
rationed to protect people from becoming obese.
