Can anyone confirm if my idea is viable for yeast washing?

I have read this post on yeast washing: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f163/yeast-washing-illustrated-41768/

And the poster boils the water with the jars inside the pot. I would like to clean the jars separately and boil the water without them.

Can I just use active oxygen (that's what we use in Europe instead of Star-san) and rinse the jars for a few minutes and boil and cool the water in a pot seperately? I think it wont make a difference, but at least I wont have to have the hassle of having the jars inside that boiling water. Once the water cooled down, I can pour it into the jars and put them in the fridge.

What do you guys think?

Part of the reason to boil the water is to remove the oxygen from the water to help inhibit yeast growth. I think your idea is viable but may not be the best for longer term storage.

the oxygen will be removed..because I am planning to boil the water. What I am not planning to do is putting the jars into the water. I find it easier to sanitize them separately in a solution of active oxygen. There will be a few drops of active oxygen left in the jars..but that shouldnt make a difference.

I'd say give it a try, best part about this hobby is trying new things that people say won't work...only to have your idea work and prove them wrong... Or maybe that's just the competitive spirit in me lol. I still think it's a sound idea, and more than likely wont effect the outcome much if at all. I'd be interested how it turns out.
