John_Trappist said:I've never thought of using the oven, but personally I think it would be fine. I mean, as long as your temp. is high enough and your duration long enough. I know Papazian in his book "The Joy of Home Brewing" say's you can sanitize fruit by steeping it in your wort at a 180 degrees for 20 minutes.
It seems to follow that the oven at 200 for 20 minutes would sanitize the bottles. However, do as the guys on here said and go hotter for longer. I think they know.
