Is your little one is ready to try solid food? You must be thinking what to cook? How to cook? Etc. Let me ask you something. Have you thought of using Instant Pot to cook baby food?

If you already own one, you do not have to buy special baby food maker or processor. If you do not have Instant Pot, invest in one instead buying baby food processor so that you can use it for whole family. Once baby is couple of years old you are going to share same recepies that you eat with baby anyways.

As a perent of little one you have many things to do other than cooking and cleaning. Instant Pot gives you an ability to multitask since you do not have to keep checking on food when it is cooking.

Save time, energy and be productive. Following are the recepies you can cook using Instant Pot:

  • Butternut squash puree
  • Green sqash puree
  • Green beans puree
  • Pear puree
  • Apple puree
  • Sweet potato puree

All above listed baby food can be done in Instant Pot by cooking for 10 to 12 mins maximum in a steamer basket or container on a trivet. After food is cooked nice and soft just blend well to puree and have desired consistency by adding formula, breastmilk or water whichever you want.

You do not need big food processor either, you can simply use hand blender and have less dishes to clean later.
