Microwave Oven/Grill & Nuby??

Suddenly contrasting topic? Anyway, I am writing this entry in response to my favourite-always-read-blog Kak Ayu, and Pn. Nurul Diana. Microwave oven with grill is the in-thing. Besides you can use them for microwaving i.e heating food and cooking (if you know how to do it!), you can use the grill setting for browning the food and of course baking. Well, I never had one, but my friend Liza in Frankfurt had this and she did a tremendously wonderful bakeries with them. Not to mention you can bake pizza and such! One of the best rated are as follows:

LG MP9287NL Digital Combi Microwave Oven Stainless Steel 32L 700W
Panasonic Slimline (NN-A554) Combination Grill & Microwave


Whirlpool GH6177XP
(Cooking Features: Reheat, Grill, Defrost, G2Max SpeedCook Technology, AccuSimmer cycle, AccuWave)

For those who doesn't know what NUBY is, it the baby's feeding line MADE IN INDIA. I had few difficulties introducing the bottle to Aina mainly because the teats are different from those of AVENT that she used to have. But the pros about the NUBY's teats are that they are non-drip even without cap. You can turn the bottle upside down and there is no single drop of milk coming out from the teat unless the baby sucks it.

And I understand of those concern about the BPA issues that can cause cancer and such, and this company claims that they are BPA-free. This is what in their FAQ says:

"I’ve gotten this question quite a few times so I thought I would address it since it seems to be a concern for parents who are taking BPA into consideration when buying for their little ones. Bottle nipples tend to come in two materials. One is Silicone. Silicone is the popular choice for parents these days and with good reason. Silicone is soft and easy to sterilize and importantly is non-porous. not to mention it does not contain Bisphenol-A, Phthalates or PVC so it is a safe choice for your baby. When buying silicone nipples, opt for products that use “medical grade” silicone when possible to ensure the silicone was made with the highest standards.
Other bottle nipples are made with Latex. Infants sometimes take to latex versions easier and there are also pacifiers made with it. Latex is also BPA free but there have been some research showing that over time, latex can leach carcinogens called nitrosamines. The FDA regulates levels allowed in latex bottle nipples but some levels are permissible so medical grade silicone is the better alternative. It has also been suggested that exposure to latex early in life can trigger a latex allergy."

Anyway, enough with science i just want to show some pictures.Have fun!
