Does anyone have experience with sterilizing nebulizers in the microwave? I have been told to get either a baby bottle sterilizer or breast pump sterilizer bags.

I spent two years at college where I boiled water in my microwave and then poured it over my nebs in a pan (a copper bottom pan used only for my nebs) Sometimes if I felt like it I would go to the dorm kitchen and actually boil them on the stove. I have to say I don't think it worked against me I was the healthiest I had been in awhile - and even since then.

I have never thought about that before. I just always put them on the stove... I have some funny stories of burnt nebulizers!

I used to boil them (with vinegar & water) in the microwave, but then the constant hot steam broke the microwave!! (at least that's what the repairman said!) But I didn't have a lid on or anything, so I am sure that made things extra steamy! Now I just use a teapot and pour the boiling water over the nebs (which are in a separate bowl with the vinegar)! Good luck! Happy steaming! Post your tips!

I sterilize in the microwave using a baby bottle sterilizer. I love it. I have melted a couple Acorn style but for the Pari nebs, No problems at all

I am not really sure what the brand is but it is a dome shape with vented holes on top. I can around 4 pari nebs in there at one. I bought mine at Toys R us but I am sure Target has one. I love Target
