can they be sterilized by boiling in water? if yes, how long it takes to get them sterilized? 3min? 5min?

I think it's like 10 min, not for sure. I used a microwave steamer, steamer bag or the dishwasher. I didn't have time to wait around for water to boil etc.

Yes, they can. I'm not sure how long it takes as I always used the steam bags.

Yes, they can be. I use the sterilizer that you put in the microwave but I think if you put them in boiling water, you don't have to do it long.. 5 min max

Yes. And then you defrost them either in the fridge for a few days or boil water, take off the heat and immerse them in the hot water. Hope this helps!

They did just fine in boiling water. That was how we washed them at our girl scout camp. When we came home, I put it all through the dish washer for an extra cleansing.

They do not stay warm long. Actually they really never get "hot", you get about 15 minutes of warm as long as you are constantly kneading them. After about 30 minutes there's almost no heat at all. Activation is another 30 minutes of boiling water and waiting for them to be "completely" fluid again.

Boil a pot of water and when it comes to a boil, turn it off and soak them in it. It's how I sterilize all my kids sippy cups

- store them in the fridge in their plastic bag. Depending on the recipe instructions you might soak them in warm/hot water for 10/15 minutes or chop them up "as is " from their package, how you use them is determined by your recipe instructions......hope this helps. Bert

The manufacturer's manual instructions indicate that they should be sterilize only in boiling water. They do not recommend microwave sterilization. I have no idea why. I did follow the instructions and my bottles are in great condition after been boil a lot of times.

You need to cook with boiling water..some meals require you to add to boiling water and then reduce heat to simmer for 15-18 minutes. Hope this is helpful.

No, they're not strong enough for boiling water (which would heat them too hot to be safe for use anyway) and would melt in a conventional oven. Try microwaving in 30 second intervals until they're as warm as you want them.

I have made tea in them- but I normally let the water cool for about 4-5 minutes before I pour into the pitchers. They are very think glass and very sturdy, they may be able to handle boiling water, but I haven't risked it.

I don't think that you should put these in boiling water. They might have chemicals in them or something.

you can wash them once in the washing machine, but it is better to hand wash them, they will last much longer. Sometimes I rinse them and put them in the microwave to sterilize them, for 2 to 3 minutes. I always watch them carefully so they don't start on fire.

Ive never made that recipe. I boil them for 5 minutes for hard boiled eggs. If you want the centers set but not hard, perhaps 3 minutes?I imagine you can watch them closely in the oven and decide on the spot.

If you like to sterilize your water for 7 minutes, why not just boil it on the stove in an open pot? You can do a lot more a lot faster that way.

I would wash them with dish soap and rinse in very hot water, let them air dry. If you are worried about bacteria, boil water and dip the cloth end in to sterilize.

Are you boiling them long enough ? Cause a few times I had to boil them longer then one would think

i have soaked these for 8 - 16 hours. I don't think the soaking time is critical. I start soaking one day and "plate" them the next morning.
