I found instructions to melting agar with the bottle it came in. But any way the instructions I found said to loosen the top off the agar bottle, put in a pot of water filled to the height of the agar, and that the water should be 77-88 degrees Centigrade, until the agar is liquid. Be carful handling hot bottles. Let the agar cool to 44-49 degrees Centigrade. Then pour into petri dishes.

Agar displays hysteresis, which means it solidifies at a different temperature than it melts. It melts at about 85 degrees Celsius, but solidifies at 32 to 40 degrees Celsius.
