How do you sanitize your pump parts/bottles?

I've been putting them in boiling water for 10 minutes. I also have those Medela steam bags but I haven't tried them yet. What's the best way to sanitize pump parts and bottles?

    The steam bags are great.  My pedi said they are better for sterilizing than boiling, and easier on the pump parts.

    I wash them every day (sometimes more than once) with hot soapy water ... but I only boil once a month or so.  Same with bottles.

    I liked the microwavable sterilizers, there are several brands and they don't have a maximum use number. I used it to carry the clean parts with on trips too, then when staying at relatives etc I used the base as a drying rack. If I had to wash parts or bottles while driving, I could use the lid.....felt much cleaner to wash things in that over a gas station's sink.
