I have 95% new bottles and jars, but some people have given me really nice bottles, which I have new caps for the bottles. I was going to put them in the dishwasher, with no soap and just put them through the steam sanitize cycle. I would heat them again before bottling.
I was going to heat them in the oven, but the suggestion in the thread to do it in the microwave is a handier one for me.
