Can I sterilize this in a microwave sterilizer. I have both a hard plastic sterilizing rack and the Medela bags, would it be safe in those?

Under the FAQ section of Milkies website, it says "Q: How should I clean my Milk-Saver?A: Be sure to thoroughly clean your Milk-Saver before first use. Rinse with hot soapy water, boil or run through your dishwasher on the top rack. Between uses simply rinse the Milk-Saver and air dry on a bottle rack or clean towel." I hope that helps!

I have sterilized mine in my avent electric steam sterilizer & my dishwasher. It is made of a silicon material similar to bottle nipples. I'm sure it would be okay in the microwave steamer especially if you do your bottle nipples that way. I don't like to microwave my stuff personally, but I don't think it would ruin the product from functioning.

I would suggest that it may not be safe because as Stavros mentioned there may be metallic substances in the glaze or the ceramic. And neither have I tried it in a microwave - like the others. I only use it with hot water from the kettle and I hand wash it.

When out and about I use the cleaning wipes the medela puts out. Also remember that breastmilk is good when left at room temp for up to 5 hrs so I wouldn't worry too much if you can't get every little bit clean if you use it less than 5 hrs apart. Parts only need to be sterilized once a day at the most.

I've never actually used it in the microwave but it's made of heavy weight hard plastic. I wouldn't hesitate to put in the microwave.

I use a Medela pump and used one of their microwave sanitizing bags prior to first use and then after every use.

This model does not sterilize. I would recommend a sterilizer feature if you are using the towels in a medical or spa setting.

Yes but I don't know if the plastic is safe for the food it self. The containers micro without any damage but the plastic might penetrate fumes into the food. I put my food in glass containers or use a paper plate to microwave. I carry non microwave foods in the small containers,like fresh fruit. Hope these helps you

I have not used it in the microwave myself, but I have read that it is microwave safe EXCEPT for the inner translucent lid. Hope this helps!

I've microwaved in them plenty of times, just remember the containers are rated to 100ºC (that's 212ºF!) so be sure not to heat it too much. The plastic is safe, but the container won't be much use if it melts.

for the most part, yes. The compartments you put your food in are plastic and the box is plastic but there's a metal plate on the bottom that does the warming of the food. the plastic compartments are microwave safe as well.

My understanding is that it is safe to use Sistema Klip in the microwave. I have used the small container in the microwave to reheat vegetables. I always unklip the lid and place it loosely on top. Saw no problem with it.

We bought an FAO schwarts bottle sterilizer for hand washing. That way we can sterilize 6 bottles at time and it's done in five minutes tops per bottle load. For on the go we use the Medela Steam and go bags and zap them in the microwave. They can only handle 2 8 oz bottles and done in 2 minutes! Love my glass bottles and using on #2 kid. We have used plastic from time to time and the dishwasher powder sticks to the plastic bottle. Never have this issue when we wash the glass in the dishwasher. Dishwasher will also sterilize the bottles if dry setting is on high. Kids have never been sick unless exposed to other sick kids. Love my glass. :-) We bought an FAO schwarts bottle sterilizer for hand washing. That way we can sterilize 6 bottles at time and it's done in five minutes tops per bottle load.

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.

Do not cook it in microwave, it is pretty bad to heat this kind if plastic. That's why I buy the bag ones, then use my own bowl for it. Don't feed ur kids too much of it, it's real junk food. I like it, but I only eat this couple times a month.

I can't speak for the 2.7 oz, but the 5oz and 8oz Medela bottles I have are microwave safe (or at least I've put them in the microwave and never had issues)

Thank you for your interest. Just like with any avent bottle, you can do it using the microwave or electric sterilizer

The manufacturer says the big bags are food safe but should not be used in the microwave. The seal is very sturdy and dependable. If you are putting the plastic box into the bag, it should work fine as an extra layer of protection. If you are putting the kimchee in the bag and then into the box, I wonder if it wouldn't be more convenient to use several one-gallon sized freezer bags. Good luck!
