Tools You'll Need To Make Homemade Baby Food

By: Tamika Gardner

You probably already have all the tools you need to make homemade baby food. If all you have is a blender, freezer bags, and ice cube trays then you are in business. There are other tools that will help as well. These items are as follows:

Food Mill - A hand-turned mill or ricer with variable cutting discs purees the food and removes seeds and skin which can be difficult for a baby to digest. This product is great for green beans and corn.

Steamer - A good multi-tiered steamer that will allow you to cook several different foods at the same time is a great investment.

Blender or food processor - These appliances are useful for pureeing large quantities. However, foods for young babies will often need to be pushed through a strainer afterwards to remove any indigestible seeds and skin.

Small Holed Strainer/Fine Mesh Strainer - Pushing more textured foods through to make a more fine and smooth pure. This item is good for separating green bean and pea skins from pure.

Homemade baby food is by far the best thing that you could give to your baby (other than breast milk). It tastes better, is more nutritious, and fun to make!
