Will it withstand autoclave sterilization?

I strongly do NOT recommend that. Just wipe it off with a damp cloth, IT'S SOFT PLASTIC after all!

Doubtful. It is plastic, not silicone, so I don't think that it could handle the temp of an autoclave. If you need to sterilize the case to take it into an OR or medical ward, I'd recommend a chemical sterilizing agent instead.

Whether you gas or steam autoclave the grinder, it will do fine; but unless you need it for surgery, why not just wash it?The inside is not chromed, so there is no chance of the chrome coming off in your food.

Yes they will. I've autoclaved a set four times without any warping or fatigue. I work at a lab that uses them from time to time and always autoclaves them afterward. The caps are polypropylene, which is your go-to plastic for autoclaving.

Latex breaks down when sterilizing with heat. I believe the recommendation is to only sterilize before the first use.

No. The non-stick coating will survive, but the anodized exterior will eventually wash off. Does not affect useabity, just appearance.

Yes, this may be used to disinfect other tools. Note that this does item does not replaced the use of an autoclave.

It is dishwasher safe and chemical resistant. We do not use it for microwave cooking, so I don't know how much heat it will withstand.

I am not sure if it would hold up for many cookings. The most heat I have exposed it to is in a boiling pot of water for canning.

Yes. The instruction leaflet says "suitable for all forms of sterilization" and "wash in warm soapy water and rinse in clean water or use a dishwasher. "

I never have. Since it is oven proof, I would hope it could withstand temperature change.

yes, it will damage it. There is no seal at all and parts are exposed to moisture. I've had 2 of these now and both failed for the same reason. The 1st one was in the bathroom and rusted after 6 months and the 2nd replacement stored outside the bathroom lasted just over a year and the company refused to assist/support. I'm not buying anymore withings products

This is NOT an autoclave. It shakes the debris from the surface making it as clean as can be prior to autoclaving.

No that would be a autoclave and bag. This is good for losing up grime grit etc and clean and neutralize the Bactria but the next step is a autoclave and 15min on no more then 15lbs to sterilize item. Maybe a good book would help it did for more 27 years ago you need to know you hot and warm and cold zones etc ...depend makes awesome bags and cleaing agents good for machine. And other person it does work still with lid open. Hope this helps you and always happy to meet another one of us in this world but I tattoo goes hand in hand I guess.

While I wouldn't recommend testing it, I can say from experience that it can survive the washing machine with nothing reaching the internals as long as the cap is securely screwed on.

Absolutely! I have never had an issue. It's a tight seal and keeps things fresh.

I've been using it for 40 years or so. If the problem is contamination, varnish or dirt, I've never seen it fail. Hard to tell from the brief note you wrote just what's wrong, but it can't hurt!

Probably not. It cleans by ultrasonic vibration, I would not expect "sterilization" If that's what you mean.
