How to prepare cypress mulch?

Hey,

I got a big bag of cypress mulch. How do I prepare it for the tank?

I washed it in a strainer and shook out most of the water. I then layed it out in a microwave safe pan and zapped it for 5 minutes. It was steaming pretty hard core by the time it was done. Three little bugs were on the edge of the glass pan and were easily squished. I'm assuming they were escaping the intense heat. I doubt anything in the middle of that could have survived.

Is this good to go in my tank now?

Dave
