So, I'd like to use my dishwasher's sanitation setting to sanitize my bottles. However, I'm leery if it's actually going to get hot enough to meet the FDA-required temps to sanitize.
As I understand it, the FDA requires 140F for 40 minutes, or 160F for 40 seconds for an object to be considered sanitized.
My dishwasher is new, and is a decent Kenmore model, and has high-temp and sanitized rinse settings. Does anyone know how to verify, for sure, that my dishwasher is hitting the right temp?
Washing a thermometer doesn't seem productive.
