Because newborns have in the first few months does not have enough trained immune system, the food should be largely free of germs cooked or processed. I thought to myself before the birth that works beautifully with various plastic boxes in the microwave. So I made a plastic box for sterilization in the microwave.
Besides the fact that this box only just fit the height in my being too large Sharp microwave, here are three more points need to be considered.
1.) NUK First Choice bottles from PP (polypropylene, soft milky plastic) should not be sterilized in the microwave, as there is a risk of material deformation and due to the high temperatures - Changes is.
2.) Alternatively, there's these lightweight, super stable and unbreakable bottles made of polycarbonate (PC), which can be recognized by its clear and dimensionally stable plastic (eg Philips Avent).
Again, since it warns of the polycarbonate-based material bisphenol A, which may be removed by the microwaves from the material. So this substance in Canada has been classified as dangerous and prohibited from polycarbonate bottles.
3.) As a last alternative there's also the classic glass bottles, which are difficult and not shatterproof. In addition, they are so hot that you can scald your fingers in the microwave or in boiling.
So I decided for the decoction of PP bottles and microwave sterilization of glass bottles. An effort that has moved me two days to get to a vaporizer.
Due to the many very positive reviews it was the NUK NUK Vaporizer 10,251,010th After a few days I have to say that I absolutely do not regret this purchase. The device might look like a UFO from the 60s, in the details you can see but how clever this product was developed. Ins Cup match 5 NUK bottles (300ml to size) and the patch Cup combines several suckers and other vial utensils.
For the approximately 15-minute sterilization rich 90 ml of tap water. The vaporizer is switched off automatically after sterilization. Subsequently, the cover on the handle can be removed without risk of scalding and the vials are taken in use. The question is where do I store the sterilized bottles in boiling, has done so ;-). I let them namely to use in closed vaporizer.
Because of the steam sterilization of this device can be used as a steamer for vegetables, fruits, meat, fish for quantities of 0.5 kg. A nice feature that you or if the vial is no longer needed in a few months, will learn to appreciate.
Conclusion:
The biggest advantage is that I can sterilize any Fläschchenart so foolproof, whether glass, polypropylene (PP) or even polycarbonate (PC). Another advantage is that the sterilized bottles are protected in a vaporizer lifted clean until use.
Furthermore, the device needs compared to the stove or microwave only 390 watts.
Last but not least, the device is suitable according to the manufacturer for cooking small meals to about 0.5 kg.
The only criticism would be noted that the device should be disconnected from the mains after every use, since LT at an idle. Guide the unit may be damaged. Because of the front-mounted micro-switch which can unfortunately happen too quickly.
Nevertheless, in the Amazon price of less than EUR 40.00 can I / each recommend this unit to anyone.
