I would still check with the manufacturer. It is Green Toys and here is their contact info: Green Toys Inc.495 Miller Ave, #301Mill Valley, CA 94941Phone: (415) 839-9971Fax: (415) 651-9147Email: info@greentoys.com

I don't know but would suggest calling the manufacturer of the Green Eats bowls. That information should be on Amazon's site in its information rundown. Then look up the site for that manufacturer's homepage online through a search engine and find the contact phone number on the manufacturer's homepage. Best to get the info from the horse's mouth, so to speak! I have gone this route on other items about such questions even though buying from Amazon. Hope this helps.

They are NOT indicated as "microwave safe" on the bowls. They are a Type 2 plastic, which is "high density polyethylene" (HDPE) = May be safe, although some recommend against food contact when microwaving. I personally do NOT use these in the microwave. They seem fine in the top rack of the dishwasher, but I wouldn't put them on the bottom rack.

Yes and yes! I used them in our microwaveable bottle sterilizer daily. As for leak proof - they're about as leak proof as a sippy can be. Occasionally little droplets come out if they are dropped from a high chair or thrown across the room but I would highly recommend these cups.

Idk about a bottle sterilizer (it's just super hot water, yes?) But I wash ours in the sink with her other washables (supply cups, pacifiers, medicine syringes, spoons and forks) before I do the other (adult) dishes. I use the dish cloth to scrub it clean and then use super hot water to rinse it off. Comes out looking like new. I haven't used a bottle sterilizer so I don't know. If it's just really hot water, I don't see why not? I mean, don't back and try to get at me if yours breaks or something. It's just what we do.

They're glass, so yes, they're "food grade" although bottles aren't classified as "food grade." I always boil both the bottles and the droppers for a few minutes in water to sterilize them.

Yes, as far as we know. We used steam sterilizing via microwave for all of our bottling needs. They've held up great!

Yes you can, but I would not heat the bowls in the microwave. They seem to thin to me, but I'm not sure because I only use the bowls for cold cereal.

I wouldn't microwave them, just to be overly safe because they are plastic. But they are small and would defrost quickly in a bowl of hot water.

Yes they are. You can sterilize them in the microwave on their own, no sterilizing tub needed.

I did not keep those bowls as a few were broken when I opened the package. I then ordered different bolw. I have some similar to the Arc ones which I have had for many years and they are fine in the microwave but really cannot be sure that these ones are.

I don't think so. I would suggest that you repot them in a small cup or dish.

Because they are dishwasher safe (and we've been using/ dish washing ours for almost 2 years now!), I think it's safe to say that you can use them in any bottle warmer that's no hotter than a dishwasher. Now, dishwashers get pretty dang hot, so I doubt there's any bottle warmer that comes even close to that hot. I wouldn't worry if I were you ;) and we LOVE our Life Factory glass bottles. Good luck! :)

I have not microwaved them, and I do not believe they are safe for the microwave. They are very nice bowls, though!

I honestly don't know. Since they can not go in a microwave (or oven) I would be afraid to put in the freezer due to extreme cold. I would be afraid they could crack. I love my bowls so much, that even though they say they can go in the dishwasher, I choose to wash by hand.

I would just sterilize after the initial purchase. You really don't need to sterilize bottles/parts each time anymore. That is an old recommendation from when water supplies weren't as safe. I do sterilize my bottles/parts once in a while still but really just hot soapy water or a run through the dishwasher is sufficient. Plus if you think about it- When you sterilize an item you also need to sterilize the tongs used to pick it up, the counter or drying rack you sit it on, the cupboard which it then goes into, and any other surface it is likely to touch by the time it's used for a feeding... You are never going to be able to keep your bottles sterile.

I have put it in my dishwasher a few times and it has held up. I haven't put it in a sterilizer though. I would assume yes.
