How to sterilise glassware?

[Dannie]

I am intending to brew some test E now, and I was wondering whats the best way to sterilise a beaker. Step by step instructions will be much appreciated.

Most clean facilities use an autoclave which is pretty much a pressure cooker to boil the glassware for upwards of I think 20 minutes, correct me if i'm wrong. I'd start with using a pressure cooker and boiling your glassware in distilled water at minimum 212F for 20 minutes.

couldnt you just use alcohol, and let it air dry?

Does it matter if the oven isnt sterile?
