How To Warm Breast Milk Using Sous Vide
The sous vide is a great tool for cooking food, but it can also be used to reheat or defrost food and drink. One of the unique ways you can use a sous vide or immersion circulator is to reheat breast milk. Since the sous vide will stay at a constant temperature, it's easy and safe to warm breast milk using this method.
Equipment
- Sous Vide (Immersion Circulator)
- Large Pot
- Water
Instructions
- Add enough water to fully submerge bottles or bags to a large pot.
- Add the immersion circulator.
- Set the temperature to 105F.
- Once the temperature is reached, submerge a sealed bottle with breast milk or a sealed bag with breast milk.
- If the bag or bottle floats to the top, use a weight such as a large cooking tool to keep it completely submerged.
- Let the breast milk warm for 15 minutes before removing and feeding to your baby.
