This is what we use to boil water when we travel. <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index=blended&field-keywords=presto%20multi-cooker&results-process=default&dispatch=search/ref=pd_sl_aw_tops-1_blended_28718944_2&results-process=default">Presto Multi Cooker</a>

We picked it up at a Walmart store for just over $20.

I know I can put it in alcohol, but how do I rinse it after alcohol? I have asthma due to alcohol residue.....

Yeah you don't wash after the alcohol because then they wouldn't be sterile anymore. Could you tell me more about "asthma due to alcohol residue?"

I soak all of my parts in alcohol and pull them out 10 minutes before using them. I don't use them until they are dry.

hi lauren-
How are you? Your son is precious.

If I use my eflow parts after the alcohol has dried, when I put medicine in them, I can still taste the alcohol residue. I can also feel it when I inhale my meds....I get a really itchy throat...and asthma-ish feeling much like if I inhale Tobi. I have found that if I rinse my neb with sterile water (boiled distilled) after I soak it in alcohol, I have a much better treatment. I have reactive airway disease so liittle things like that can make a difference for me.

Thanks everybody for your advice...I wish I could get excited, but I am just stressed.
