Is it possible to sanitize it in avent microwave steam sterilizer instead of boiling or using medela bag?

I've used all of those options interchangeably so I would assume yes. The dr browns bags are easiest for me but I have also used the aveng system

I don't have the packaging anymore to confirm, but I think it said that you could NOT steam sterilize it. It is top dishwasher safe though.

An autoclave would be best, followed by a pressure cooker. The rubber seal seems like it would hold up to the heat/steam but that's purely a guess. Have not tried it personally.

You don't have to wash it. I put it on a paper plate in the microwave and I bought a make up bag to store it when I'm not using it.

i would sterilize them. i boiled water and then i let the instruments sit in the water for a minute. i also dipped each of them in rubbing alcohol. this is not an official recommendation, i am not a professional, but this is what i did.

I believe so. I use Avent steam sterilizer with all the parts except the tubes as the tubes seem to hold up well without any milk went in it, so I haven't sterilized it. I remember cleaning my first pair of tubes and it takes at least a week to dry even hanging it straight up and down.

Just like you do any other bottle. Whether you want to boil daily, use an electric or microwaveable sterilizer, or even sterilizing tabs. Any of these ways will work just fine.

I believe it can be fixed but seems like a lot of trouble. I tried opening it nut it was hard to get to the part that needs replacement (some sort of thermostat fuse or something). There are no guarantees how long that fix will last so for me, it's not worth the trouble so I just bought one of those microwaveable bottle sterilizers.

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.

It doesn't state on the box that you can use in the microwave, so I would not. However, I have always used very hot water and alcohol wipes or cotton ball and alcohol to sanitize. You can also boil water and place Neti in a larger pot and pour the boiling water in it and on it to sanitize.

No. It should be treated the same as any microwave-safe plastic container. It is very easy to hand wash. I have 2 and use them for a variety of foods, especially Chinese cuisine where I have several dishes like spring/egg rolls, fried rice and a stir fry entrée. Well worth the price.

I can't answer this question. I'm confident that it can be washed in soapy water and dried for use without harming it, but an autoclave? I'd check with the manufacturer.

I imagine it can be sterilized in boiling water, but the top is different than usual ball jars, it slips on and off, seems air tight, but does not screw on. I use it for storage of dried beans etc. I think it looks great. Big.

I would not think this would be something you would use this for. Unit is very small and I recall you need to hold this device very close (a few inches away) from area being sanitized.

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

I'm sure you can. I use the Medela sterilizer bags and have never had a problem.
