Guide Review - Munchkin Deluxe Dishwasher Basket
The Munchkin deluxe dishwasher basket makes washing baby's feeding accessories easier than ever. This compact but well-designed dishwasher basket holds up to 14 bottle nipples in the top section, but even if you put just a few nipples in the basket, they are still held securely so they don't tip and fill up with dirty dishwater. The lower section holds baby spoons, sippy cup lids and other lightweight feeding accessories and keeps them from slipping through the dishwasher racks. One of the standout features of the Munchkin deluxe dishwasher basket is the straw racks on the sides, which hold up to 8 plastic drinking straws from sippy cups and sports bottles. The straw racks keep the straws upright and secure so hot water can get all the way through them and drain out well.
The rounded shape of the dishwasher basket is nice looking, but more importantly, the rounded edges aren't sharp like those on some cheaper dishwasher baskets, so your fingers won't take a beating if they slip inside the basket. The sturdy plastic will withstand many dishwasher cycles without warping. The Munchkin deluxe dishwasher basket sells for about $5, which is more expensive than other baskets. If you don't have many feeding supplies to wash, there is a Munchkin junior-size dishwasher basket in the same style that has about half the capacity of the deluxe version, for about $3.
