Water in bottles after sterilising

[thattravelphotographer]

This may be a silly question but do I need to dry my bottles after they have been steam sterilised or are the water droplets left behind safe?

No that water is sterile; if you dry them then it contaminates them and cancels out sterilising them

They are fine. Just take them out of sterilser and use.

If you dried them with kitchen roll or a tea towel they would no longer be sterile.
