What do you need non-absorbent cotton for?


The instructions that I have on using baby food jars states to poke a
hole in the center of top and stuff tightly with non-absorbent
cotton. This is done before they are sterilized. It's supposed to
filter out the bad stuff and alow the jar to breathe. Since it's
non-absorbent it's not supposed to wick any mosture out of the jar
also. I also have a really old AOS book that uses Erlenmeyer Flasks
and stoppers them with non-absorbent cotton.
I have read where one person used bandaide spots for this but I don't
think a bandaide would survive heat sterilization.
I thought of trying synthetic fibers but they might melt and it may
take a lot of tests to find one that doesnt.
