How to heat baby food?

We all know that for the sake of health, unless it is cold drinks, everything should be eaten hot. So considering this, every household should prepare some tools for heating food, such as microwave ovens, etc. If there is a baby at home at this time, you also need to pay attention to this issue when adding complementary foods. So, how to heat baby food?

Microwave Heating

Microwave ovens can not only be used to sterilize bottles, but also to heat complementary foods. However, please note that heating food in a microwave oven will cause the food to be unevenly heated, so heat the food to boiling, stir and wait for the food to cool down.

Notice:

When using a microwave to heat complementary foods for your baby, in addition to heating them thoroughly, you must also pay attention to the container that holds the complementary foods, which must be made of a material that can be heated in a microwave.

Supplementary food machine heating

Many parents have bought baby food machines for their babies. Nowadays, all baby food machines have steaming and cooking functions, so you can use the baby food machine to heat the baby food, which is more convenient to operate.

Tips:

Take out an appropriate amount of complementary food that has been frozen into ice cubes, put it in a glass or high-temperature resistant container, and put it into a complementary food machine to thaw.

Steamed in a steamer

If mothers are worried about uneven heating in the microwave, they can use a steamer to steam the complementary food.

Notice:

It is best to thaw frozen porridge or soup and put it back into the pot to cook. This way, the food heated over fire can maximize the deliciousness of fresh food. For frozen meat paste, make sure it is steamed thoroughly and use chopsticks to spread the meat paste flat and heat it.

Can baby food be frozen?

Children, like their parents, like to eat freshly prepared food, but it seems unrealistic to make every meal freshly prepared. Therefore, sometimes we need to prepare the ingredients in advance or store them in the freezer so that we can eat them directly when we don’t have time to make them now.

Freezing ingredients in portions while they are fresh can maximize their preservation and avoid waste. The frozen storage time of each ingredient is different. It is best to store it for 5 to 7 days when feeding it to babies, and it must be eaten within 10 days. If it is stored for too long, do not feed it to your baby. Please freeze ingredients while they are fresh. Do not freeze them if they are no longer fresh.
