Baby food warmer container

When breastfeeding, there is no need to warm the milk. However, when the mother of the baby feeds him with an artificial mixture, then she should take care of purchasing special equipment - a heater for food and milk. With this device, the child's food will be heated to a comfortable temperature, and it will be maintained for a long time. Today in children's specialized stores there is a fairly large selection of similar products, which can differ greatly from each other in terms of the principle of operation and many other parameters. It is quite easy to get confused in such a variety, so we decided to dedicate our today's rating to a review of the best bottle warmers. However, before proceeding to a direct analysis of the characteristics, let's figure out what such equipment is and what you should pay attention to when buying this product. nine0003

Ranking summary: (hide/show)

Which parameters are important when choosing a bottle warmer in 2022?

Such a product is arranged quite simply: it includes an electrically insulated container, a special heating element, a relay with which to control, and a power cable. The principle of operation is in many ways similar to a water bath: a special container is filled with water, which is heated and transfers its heat to the liquid in the bottle. nine0003

The size of the container can be universal, thanks to which even bottles of non-standard shapes and sizes will fit there. However, on sale you can find devices designed for a specific brand - in this case, the bottles and the heater must be from the same manufacturer. Power can be supplied from a standard power supply - such products are best suited for stationary use. The heater can be powered by batteries or an accumulator: it is convenient to use such a device for regular trips, as well as when moving from one place to another. The car version of the heater functions directly from the cigarette lighter. There are also universal models that work from all sources. nine0003

Baby food can be heated in different ways: warm water, hot water or steam. In the first case, heating is carried out with water, the temperature of which reaches about 50 degrees. It is impossible to overheat the mixture in such a product, respectively, neither parents nor the child will be able to burn themselves. However, the heating process here takes a lot of time. Hot water allows you to reduce the heating time, however, when using such equipment, you should be as careful as possible, especially for parents, since the likelihood of getting burned is much higher. nine0003

Steam bottle warmers warm food in seconds using a small amount of hot steam. The bottle should be removed from there as carefully as possible. It should be noted that the use of this heater for defrosting milk is not recommended.

It is desirable that such a product has additional functions, for example, mixture temperature control, timer, and so on. All of them will be very useful if products of different densities are heated in bottles. On sale you can also find products with the possibility of programming that will heat up baby food at a certain time. The most advanced models are equipped with a dish sterilizer or steam center, which can be used as a steamer for steaming various vegetables, fruits, and so on. nine0003

These products must be purchased exclusively from pharmacies or specialized children's stores. It would not be superfluous to familiarize yourself with the quality certificate, learn as much as possible about the manufacturer, safety from an environmental point of view, about the materials from which this design is made. Pay attention to the configuration of the heater. Ideally, a thermos should come with the device.

We took all of these factors into account when ranking the best bottle warmers in 2022, but our selection was based primarily on user reviews and value for money design. For each model, we tried to collect as much information as possible, we hope that after studying our rating, you will be able to choose the most optimal design for yourself and your baby. nine0003

Another versatile device on our list of the best bottle warmers.

It has compact overall dimensions, so it does not take up too much space in the kitchen or in the room. Unfortunately, the power cable is quite short, so you need to place it in close proximity to the outlet or use an extension cord. The container for the bottle is equipped with a very convenient plastic lid, which will not get very hot during the operation of the device. The product comes with a special glass with lattice holes, where the bottle will be installed. It is worth noting that the bottom of the glass is removable and can be adjusted in height, which makes the device optimal for heating baby food jars. nine0003

Unfortunately, this product is only suitable for Brown's products. Bottles from other manufacturers may not fit in it at all, especially if they are rather wide and squat. For bottles that are too tall, the glass is also not suitable, as they will simply protrude beyond the tank. It is very convenient to pour water into the tank - the water container is located on the side: you will always see when it runs out, and you won’t have to look into the container with the bottle once again. The electronic display is equipped with a backlight, which is very clearly visible in complete darkness, it shows the time remaining until the end of the work. Overheating protection, sound alarm. nine0003
