Can you warm/thaw bottles in it?

Hi Bucky -The Babycook Classic patented compact countertop appliance that functions as a steams, blends, warms and defrosts baby food. Parents can also use it to quickly reheat or defrost precooked foods. The babycook is not intended for warming/thawing bottles. However, we are currently in the process of designing a babycook with a bottle warmer, stay tuned!- The BEABA Customer Support Team

I don't think so. You may be able to thaw a jar (4oz) in it but a bottle wouldn't fit within the height of the cooker.

That's going to depend on how you're using them. We used them to warm up baby bottles, ~4oz of very cold liquid, in a zippered insulated bag, took maybe 5-10 min to reach a warm, drinkable temp. If we left the warmer in the bag afterwards, it would still be noticeably warm upwards of an hour later (but not hot enough to completely warm up another bottle by then). Anything you can do to keep the heat contained will improve the longevity.

By "warming" it, do you mean heat it in the microwave or in hot water? I haven't needed to warm the bottles yet, but you could set the whole thing in hot water, although the water will obviously drip from the sleeve when using it, I would think. These are VERY well made glass bottles, and the sleeve is very well made and durable as well.

Only slightly, if at all. Near the lip, where there is no space between the two walls, it may be warmer than the rest of the bottle. You should be able to put boiling hot liquid in (or ice cold) and it will still be similar to the outside temperature.

Since it's dishwasher safe, one could put warm (but maybe not boiling hot) beverages in it, but I'd worry about stuff leaching from the plastic until the bottle had gone through a few dishwasher cycles.

I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to heat the storage bags. I always thawed frozen breast milk overnight in the fridge then put it in a bottle and heated it using the warmer.

Im not sure, you can freeze the entire bottle. The bottle is plastic, so as long as you don't over fill it before putting it in the freezer you should be fine.

No. You need to take the sleeve off and sometimes even the nipple when warming the bottle.

I wouldn't recommend freezing them. They are great bottles but freezing plastic is not a good idea.

We use ours in the Dr. Brown's bottle warmer that heats the same way. We heat a cold bottle straight from the fridge for 3 minutes. I use the sealing disk on the bottle instead of the nipple. I don't think the bottle gets uncomfortably hot. The milk doesn't get too hot.

Typically this would sit on a counter so the water is at room temperature. I suppose one could chill the unit and water bottle given a sufficiently large or dedicated refrigerator. However, it might be a tad awkward lift a full bottle and container in there due to the weight.

It says they can go in a dishwasher, which gets VERY hot inside, so a bottle warmer's heat shouldn't be a concern as long as it fits. But we found it faster to warm milk in the little platex bottle inserts, we just rest them in a pitcher of hot water then pour into these.

You CAN. There's an adjustment screw on the back of the unit for the cold water temp. I just poured a glass and the water was 35*F and there's still plenty of adjustment left in the screw.

I used mine in our bottle warmer. But make sure the tops are on good, so water doesn't accidentally get in.

i think yes, because the travel bottle warmer can be adapted for many types of bottles.

You could but I wouldn't recommend it. It wouldn't insulate and the plastic is somewhat thin and might stretch due to too being heated. Its definitely better for cold liquids but check the manufacturers website and that might give you the information you are looking for.

My baby likes her bottles cool, so I don't, but the electric bottle warmers are a great investment if you are heating bottles - quicker than using warm water when baby wants fed NOW!
