It's one thing to buy the Beaba babycook, as I wrote about how lovely it was long ago. I got use out of it today for the first time, to make a couple of batches of delicious sweet potato and carrot puree.Sometimes the thought of making baby food just makes me not want to make it - but I couldn't believe how amazingly easy it was to use this brilliant machine!
I went by what I was cooking by looking at the chart, filled the container to the #3 line (good for potatoes and carrots), poured it into the side and let it do its steam job!
I came back when it was finished, poured out the steamed water and added some of Edie's bottle formula, to add some liquid and good extra taste to her meal.I pulsed for half a minute and it did an amazing job! I was so excited that I kept going - putting some away into the freezer.
Edie loved it so much, which made my food making skills such a gratifying experience :)
It's nice, because we receive organic fruits and veggies once a week to our door, and we always find it a fun challenge to see what we can make with certain things. It's good to know I can always puree things for the little one - according to age of course :)
I am REALLY happy about all the Beaba products as I have almost all of them now for her, from her first Christmas - as you can buy things they need and justify it ;)
They finally made the Chef Dad Babycook book (J'adore!) in English from its original French version and it is fantastic! I highly suggest this one along with "Cooking for Baby" - both very good baby cookbooks.

Mmm! Look yummy and easy, which is great when your hands are full and you are busy taking care of a little one! I'll have to come over to view a live demo. ;)
Awesome!! Wish I had known about this. I just went out and bought a kitchen aid food processor.
Which works really well but doesn't come with a steam option! How great is that!
It can seem overwhelming at times. Especially when you start getting into meats ( If you decide to)
It does take some time but if you make enough and freeze it then your good to go for a while!
I just finished a batch of pear,peach and apples! Leigha loves that combo :)
I find baking fruit in the oven first is the most convenient. Because then the skin peels right off and I find it tastes a lot better to.
Another tip: If you bake the sweet potato the skin just peels right off as well. They can get hard to peel/chop.
