They are made of very thin glass (got them at Digestive Wellness). Can they even be sterilized w/out breaking? Caroline, I had a problem with one of my plastic Yogourmet containers -- the one that got left in the fridge when we evacuated for Hurricane Katrina. (Appropriate I should mention this: four years ago today, I was in Baton Rouge, listening to emergency weather bulletins on the destruction of my city!) I've found that you need to have a separate sponge/scrubber for your yogurt containers. That way, you don't risk cross-contamination from other dishes. If anything untoward happens with them, soak them in bleach water, per the directions on the side of the Clorox bottle, then rinse thoroughly in hot water, and air-dry, open side down. I'm sure someone is going to go " Eww... bleach... how horrible! " Well, yes. But it does work. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
