old but barely used bottles

[NinjaChipmunk]

I have 2 old but barely used bottles. I could do with using them to store boiled water in the fridge. There is no reason why I shouldn't is there? They are about 4 years old, I wouldn't need teats on them, just the screw lid.

Are they BPA free ones?

no idea, they are tommee tippee ones, will try to find a link. What does bpa do?

There is some info here.

They won't be BPA free. I had some tommee tippee ones 4 years ago and that was before all the BPA stuff came into the news. If they're clear (or the tinted blue/pink ones) then they will contain BPA

However it's not an issue if you're using them to store cool boiled water, only if you're putting boiling water in them or heating the bottles with liquid in. If the bottle gets warm the BPA chemicals can "leech" into the contents and this was found to be harmful.

I used mine as "cup" measurers - 8fl. oz = 1 cup :) Makes US recipes easy to make! I have no idea where they all are now, though.

Bertie my DMIL bought me these .

Jilted - they are lovely!!

I know .

ok, will ditch them then, thanks for the info and glad I asked.
On the subject of measuring cups I got these, love them. Those spotty ones are lovely too.
