I am inclined to believe that anything you can fit inside the container could
In the microwave, metal can be heated comfortably, though it cannot be very thin (think tinfoil or plates with tiny pieces of metal on them). In reality, your microwave is surrounded by a big sheet of metal on the inside. A metal surface causes microwave waves to bounce off of it, keeping them inside of the microwave and causing the food to be heated. Putting a stainless steel pan filled with water inside the microwave without a cover will not cause anything to blow up, but it will not heat the water In addition to bouncing off the stainless steel, waves will also hit the stainless steel.
The answer is no.
It is not clear to me. For me, however, they are better with water. Due to the fact that the water is now sterile.

In total, I fit five bottles, (3 are only 2 oz because I have a newborn and the other two are like 5 oz), in there and like someone else stated, the steam should reach everywhere, so I overload it a little beyond recommended limits. Since I do not have a testing lab, I cannot guarantee the products kill bacteria, but they sure do stand up to it. The nipples, nipple screw cap caps (the items that go into the cap so they can be stuck onto the bottle), and a pacifier or two are also in my possession. I love how well it fits into my microwave. As my microwave has a power of 1100 watts, I must keep it on for at least four minutes (per instruction). There has been no burnt on me and no damage done to the items. As soon as anything changes, I will update this post.
In this bad boy, you can fit a lot more than four bottles. If you happen to be a parent or guardian who has it together more than me, be sure to leave an extra space if you choose to do so. Here are some items in this photo for reference 5 bottles of 5 oz, 3 bottle nipsles, 5 bottle caps, 4 bottle nipsles, 4 valves, 4 membranes, and 4 pump connectors. It takes no more than four minutes to sanitize everything (2 minutes in the microwave, 2 minutes to cool down). It's fun to stuff small bottles and/or pump parts into tiny microwave bags, but when you do it 3-D, it takes a while and can be quite tedious A cooling machine should be used four times per day. Parenting an infant is the most obnoxious chore of all. If you want to spend less time doing it, you need to have I will never disappoint you. It should be on your shopping list.
That's what it is. For pumping moms, this is a must-have. Hardboiling your pump parts is a lot more difficult than using this method. Hardboiling your pump parts when you first receive them is a good way to sterilize them. I found that using the steamer was so much easier after using the first one. There is enough space on the rack to fit my pump parts, two 5 oz Medella bottles, and two 5 oz Comotomo bottles. All you have to do is determine how you want to If you stack the Medella bottles over the nipple flange, you can save a lot of space.
This is what I use to sterilize my Como Tomo bottles, my Medela breast shields, my pacifiers, and breast pump components. The device works well, and it makes sterilization easier and faster.
The sterilizer I used for my children (7 years apart) is still in good condition. When I bought my second, I was forced to repurchase. You do not need to spend a lot of money on In less than two minutes, this one will do the job. All the parts and bottles of my Dr. Browns, Como Tomos, and Avent bottles were sterilized by this. It's just a matter of adding the suggested amount of water, securing the lid, and sticking it in the microwave for the appropriate time. I see you've sterilized your Every day I sterilize the nipples with this device, although it sounds odd, I feel so accomplished when the sterilizer comes out of the microwave as it is so cathartic to know that everything is fresh and clean.
is a great buy that's easy to use, gets the job done, and comes with a lot of features. In the months after receiving it, it broke when it developed burnt smells. We received one for the baby shower that cost $80. On the advice of a friend who had gone through the same thing, we decided to try this one. In contrast to the expensive item, the cheaper one has remained functional for a longer time.
Take the directions to heart! The first time I used it, I didn't wait until the lid was open before using it.
Working mom, I pump two to three times a day at work for my babies next day feeding. My baby takes from three to four bottles per All the parts of the pump and the bottles will need to be sterilized in boiling water for almost I am saving a lot of time and energy by using this steam sterilizer. In this case, I just did two loads and it only took me under 15 minutes to do the work. It is definitely a product I would recommend to all mothers who are bottle feeding.
