Utensils for storing, freezing and preparing baby food - let's discuss?
What does it take to cook a baby?
I am convinced that almost every kitchen already has everything.
It remains only to buy containers for freezing and storage, which I did. There is no science here, but I will show off my purchases. Are we girls? And girls love all sorts of pretty things. After all, ideally, cooking for children should be joyful. So?
Ice cube container
Very handy at the start of weaning when you need only the smallest portions. You can start with one food cube, gradually adding more cubes. It is also convenient to freeze broths for baby food in them.
I have two containers - one Tupperware, one from Ikea (pink flowers).
Taperovsky is convenient because it has a lid. Still, it is very important for us to observe hygiene in regard to baby food. Ikeevsky can be wrapped in something, it's cheaper. But there are also silicone “pimps” at the bottom in Taperovsky, which help to squeeze out the cube more easily. nine0005
Brown taper cake tin. I highly recommend. You can freeze a lot of puree in it at once. Its volume is approximately one full meal (approximately 80 ml).
Well, baking muffins for a three-year-old in it is ideal.
Storage and Freezing Containers
I looked at containers for a long time on various sites, and chose three types, with different principles of operation and volume. At first the baby needs less food, then more. Something can be mixed after defrosting. Therefore, it is convenient to have containers of different sizes. nine0005
Beaba for 80 ml. Agree, a beautiful container :) It happens in 4 colors. Mine is actually purple :)
Brown - all jars are inserted into one another. It is convenient to feed the baby from them.
Brother Max - could not pass by. Very comfortable. Can be attached to each other in different ways. Volume 40 ml. If there is not enough space in the freezer, it is convenient to separate them and scatter them in free places.
When the child grows up, these containers will do as well as ordinary small adults. I am a Tupperware fan. nine0005
Nibbler
I think everyone knows what it is.
But just in case: an apple is placed in the net, for example, and the child sucks it without the risk of choking. With spoons for feeding in the same photo, everything is clear. Plastic soft, will not hurt the baby's gums.
And now let's discuss dishes. What do you need to have in the kitchen?
Immersion blender or stationary - an absolute must! Needed for making mashed potatoes and mashed soups, as well as meat at first. It is important that the blender is powerful and has a “pulse” mode. When the baby grows up, we will not need an absolutely homogeneous puree, and it is convenient to break something into pieces in this mode. nine0005
Small and Medium Saucepans - even if you are cooking for a child, it is unlikely that you will be comfortable doing this in a large saucepan. It is good to have a small cast-iron for making stews.
Small to Medium Pans - Again, the small size is better for cooking smaller amounts of food.
Small and small (serving) casseroles - kids love casseroles, both sweet and meaty.
Strainer and Potato Press Nice to have, but not essential. A strainer is an alternative to a blender. It is good to wipe the berries in it. The potato press produces excellent mashed potatoes. Children usually love it very much.
The steamer is an excellent gentle food preparation. If I choose only for feeding the baby, I would buy a small one-story one. Although, in a two-story one, you can cook several products at the same time, for example, meat from below, vegetables from above. In a double boiler, it is easier not to digest vegetables, and such processing preserves more vitamins. nine0005
Cutting board and knife - cutting board preferably plastic, safe (antibacterial) and dishwasher safe.
Meat thermometer - not necessary, but especially restless mothers will be able to make sure that the meat has reached the right temperature (70 degrees).
Measuring cups, spoons, scales are needed in any kitchen, and especially with baby food - they are much more convenient.
Spatulas and silicone spatula, whisk - know comments. nine0005
Feeding utensils - bowls and spoons. Convenient plates and cups with a special rubber nozzle on the bottom so that the dishes do not slip.
Sieve - after the blender, you can pass the puree through a sieve for greater homogeneity. Well, drain the liquid, or sift the flour.
Peeler - you can't do without it, and it's good to invest in a very high-quality one. Fruits and vegetables will need to be cleaned regularly.
What do you think? Am I forgetting something? What do you think is useful and what is useless? nine0005
And another question. I was with Matyusha at the homeopathic doctor about the condition of his skin. The doctor explained to me that it had nothing to do with food (mine or his) and why traditional medicine associated these manifestations with mom's diet.
I want to share, but I perfectly understand what kind of reaction I can expect from skeptical moms. Does someone really need this, or should I save my nerves? Or maybe for those who need to create a closed group?
How to freeze baby food - Encyclopedia Baby Food
Levchuk Victoria©Knowing how to freeze baby food, you can cook and store whole batches of homemade food for your child, because this is a real find for busy parents.
Table of Contents:
There are several ways to freeze baby food - they all work equally well - but may take up different amounts of freezer space.
By all means…
… homemade baby food should be prepared and then cooled as quickly as possible to prevent bacterial growth. Any food left at room temperature for more than two hours is not safe for a child to consume and should be thrown away. nine0005
To cool cooked food quickly, you can try putting it in a shallow container - you can even dip the container in a pot of cold water to help speed up the process.
How to Freeze Baby Food Method 1
Thoroughly clean the ice cube tray and the spoon that will be used to fill each section. An ice tray with a resealable lid is ideal as it prevents food from freezing or picking up any odors from the freezer. If there is no mold with a lid, you can cover with food-safe plastic wrap. Some people use foil, although we don't recommend it as some of the foil will remain in the food! nine0005
Place the filled ice tray in the freezer, and - once completely frozen - place them in ZIP bags that take up less space in the freezer.
This method produces small portions of baby food that are ideally sized - typically around 30 grams or so. One cube per meal may be enough for a child to start with, but as they grow, you may need to increase the number of cubes at a time or increase the ice cube tray.
You can also make many different flavors of baby food by mixing and matching different fruit and vegetable cubes, for example, the combination of apple puree cube with carrot puree cube, delicious! nine0005
Which ice mold should I choose?
Some ice cube trays are specifically made for baby food and do not contain potentially hazardous chemicals - but you can use a regular ice cube tray, or you might be advised to try a silicone mold, or even stainless steel trays, although the regular plastic version will do.
if there is confidence in the quality of the workmanship.
How to freeze baby food - Method 2
Same as method 1, since the process of freezing baby food is the same, only silicone cupcake molds are used instead of an ice mold! Their flexibility makes it easy to remove food portions - plus, of course, their use is beneficial when the baby starts to eat more baby food!
How to Freeze Baby Food - Method 3
If no suitable freezer containers are available for baby food, baking paper can be used (although a little more freezer space will be needed initially). nine0005
Simply spoon the cooked baby puree onto the baking sheet to form small mounds (though note that this will not work if the puree is too thin). We cover the baking paper with cling film, freeze, and then mix the servings of food into bags, as before.
How to Freeze Baby Food - Method 4
Another good way to freeze homemade baby food is to divide the puree into freezer glass jars and place them in the freezer.
nine0005
However, please note that you should never freeze baby food in glass jars unless the jar manufacturer has specifically stated that freezing is safe and possible.
Jars that are freezer safe must be properly labeled and distinguished from other tins (including commercial baby food tins) that are not strong enough to withstand the expansion of food that occurs during the freezing process. nine0005
This means that the jar may burst or, even worse, there may be small micro-cracks that cannot be seen with the eyes, but which will allow tiny pieces of glass to get into the baby's food.
How to Freeze Baby Food Method 5
Probably the most popular way to freeze homemade baby food is to use freezer trays or jars for baby food, there are so many options to choose from! nine0005
Manufacturers, recognizing the growing trend of parents to freeze baby puree, offer special forms for baby food that make life easier, well, because there is a lid! What's more, these molds are free of potentially harmful chemicals, which is something some plastic trays for general consumption are guilty of.
Tracking the finished product
Most types of baby food - especially puree - freeze perfectly. Sometimes you will have to experiment with texture, since the freezing process itself consists in the fact that the water in the product expands when it freezes, destroying the cell walls. This is especially noticeable when the whole food is frozen, for example a frozen banana will be very soft when thawed. nine0005
To reduce the hassle of freezing baby food, here are a few tips that will be helpful...
- Do not puree too thin before freezing. Keep in mind that many foods become watery when thawed (especially fruits and vegetables), adding extra liquid before freezing will then add too much cereal to thicken!
- Herbs and spices tend to lose their flavor in the freezer. If a baby food recipe calls for them, it is best to add them after after the food is defrosted, just before heating.
- Baked foods - like homemade nuggets or fish fingers - are best frozen when almost cooked but not fully done.
This is because the structure of the food when frozen and thawed can behave negatively.
— When freezing yoghurt, remember that it may be too thin when defrosted. Sometimes stirring it well is enough to solve this problem - but in some cases, the resulting yogurt is too thin to eat with a spoon, so such yogurt can be used in a smoothie! nine0005
- A good result is obtained from freezing rice and oatmeal, which is good if the morning is like a nightmare and there is no time to organize a full breakfast. Only cereals should not be made too thin before they are frozen .
- Many fruits - especially apples and pears - can look very brown when frozen and thawed. This discoloration is a natural and harmless result of the fruit being exposed to air, but if it's a concern, mixing lemon juice and fruit puree before freezing can solve the problem. Please note that citrus fruits can cause an allergic reaction in babies, so you can use it with a changed color! nine0005
- If you want to make your own stock of vegetable or meat broth, which is convenient, you just need to prepare a large batch at a time and freeze.
