Instructions

Follow these easy steps for each recipe. The Beaba Babycook makes it simple, and you’ll love seeing your baby enjoy every bite!

Sweet Potato, Carrot & Apple Purée

1. Prepare your produce: Wash, peel, and chop the sweet potato, carrot, and apple into uniform pieces for even cooking.
2. Load into Babycook: Place the veggies and apple in the steaming basket. Add water to the reservoir up to the recommended level for the amount of food.
3. Steam: Close the lid and start the steam cycle (usually about 15-20 minutes for these ingredients).
4. Blend: Once cooked, transfer everything to the blending bowl. Add a pinch of cinnamon if desired. Blend until smooth, adding reserved cooking liquid to reach your preferred consistency.
5. Serve or store: Spoon into serving bowls or storage containers. Let cool before serving to baby.

Green Pea, Zucchini & Mint Purée

1. Prepare veggies: Rinse and chop the zucchini. Measure out the frozen peas and rinse under cool water. Wash the mint leaves.
2. Load into Babycook: Place peas, zucchini, and mint in the steaming basket. Fill the reservoir with water (follow Babycook’s guidelines).
3. Steam: Cook for about 12-15 minutes, until peas and zucchini are very tender.
4. Blend: Transfer to the blending bowl. Blend until very smooth, adding some of the steaming liquid as needed.
5. Serve or store: Portion the purée into containers or serve immediately after cooling.

Lentil, Carrot & Spinach Mash

1. Prep ingredients: Rinse lentils thoroughly. Peel and dice the carrot. Wash spinach leaves.
2. Load into Babycook: Add lentils and carrots to the steaming basket. Add water to the reservoir.
3. Steam: Start the steam cycle—lentils may take a bit longer, about 20 minutes. Add spinach for the last 5 minutes so it just wilts.
4. Blend: Transfer everything to the blending bowl. Pulse blend for a chunkier mash or blend until smooth for a purée, adding reserved liquid as needed.
5. Serve or store: Cool before serving or refrigerate/freeze portions for later.

Tips & Variations

• Texture Control: Adjust blending time to create thinner purees for younger babies or chunkier textures as your child grows.
• Herb Experimentation: Try basil, dill, or parsley for a gentle flavor boost. Always introduce new herbs one at a time.
• Mix and Match: Combine different veggies or add in grains like rice or quinoa for variety.
• Freeze Ahead: Make large batches and freeze in ice cube trays for easy portioning.
• Allergy Awareness: Introduce new ingredients one at a time to monitor for any reactions.
