How are you cooking your homemade purées?

Question

We want to do butternut Squash as her first food but unsure how to cook it and everything else she’ll be having. What’s everyone else doing?

Answer

Cut it in half remove seeds steam it scoop it and blend it. Not sure if you have a baby bullet steamer but definitely recommend! They tell you how much water to put in and how long to steam it for. If not you can go on YouTube and watch how to make certain foods they have some good videos on there 😊

Answer

I boil everything and then purée it in food processor

Answer

Steam everything. 
Most people don’t know, but some vitamins, like vitamin C, are water soluble, so if you boil them, it gets sucked out of the foods, and left behind in the water (that most people pour down the drain). So steaming is better, and just use the small amount of water that is left from that, to thin out the veg when you purée it :)

Answer

Mostly steam and boil depending on what I’m making him. 
Broccoli: steam  
Sweet potato: boil 
The butternut squash I would probably boil although when we have it for dinner ourselves we always roast it

Answer

We steam everything. Though yesterday we tried rice for the first time, I cooked that and put it into the food processor with steamed zucchini.
I made fresh butternut. He loved it. It was a lot of work though. Frozen works too 😊

Answer

We got this. It does everything for you lol.

Answer

I’ve steamed the zucchini, broccoli and green beans but I have a butternut in the fridge I plan to roast. I only added slightly more water than it took to steam the veggies so that I could add the remaining water to the blending. It’s worked out well.

Answer

I steam and puree in the babycook. I used frozen Butternut squash too..so much easier than cutting
