..or Pressure Cooking, of course.

Even b.subtilis will survive boiling, although lab strains make crappy spores, and I've had some die after only ~80C incubation.

Fungal and bacterial spores that can survive boiling or insufficient pressure cooking are very common. Expect anything simply boiled to get contaminated, although it may take a little while for spores to germinate, so all may seem well at first..
