Do microwaves sterilise feeding bottles in the steamer given to use in them. If so how to sterilise the bottles?

The best way to sterilize bottles is to steam them for a few minutes in a large pot on the stove with a little water.

They do not sterilize anything by themselves, except to the extent that they can boil water.
