If you don't want to spend 30+ minutes a pop sterilizing everything, you can always go the homebrewer's route and pick up a bottle of Starsan, a food-grade sanitizer. A bottle lasts for quite some time, and if you make the solution with distilled water, its shelf-life is quite a bit longer. When you want to sanitize something, just throw the dilution into a spray bottle and spray down your containers and wait for 30 seconds - no rinse needed. Just a thought to save time for those who might be doing this often.
