How do you sterilize a plastic funnel?

Soak the plastic: For complete plastic sterilization soak the plastic container in a bleach-water solution of about 5 to 10 percent bleach. Bleach will not take long to disinfect, so the soaking time is minimal. Heat plastic: This can be done in a hot dishwasher rinse, but a microwave is more effective.

    Answer 2

    There are plenty of plastics that can handle high heat, and I've never seen anything sold as a "canning funnel" that couldn't be put into boiling water for sterilization.

    I would assume that the packaging would contain sterilization instructions, but you can also see if the company has that info on their website.

    (I tried looking for info on Ball funnels, but Ball actually licenses its logo to Rubbermaid for home canning jars, and I didn't see funnels on that site. I don't know if they license the logo to another company for other canning-related home products.)
