What kind of pot is good for cooking for babies?

As we all know, babies should be supplemented with human food when they are a few months old. However, considering that children are too young, they cannot eat random food. Most of the food given to children is paste or porridge. Therefore, parents need to know how to make complementary food for babies in the healthiest and most effective way. The following is an introduction to the correct utensils for making complementary food.

What pot should I use to cook porridge for my baby?

You can buy a small casserole, which is best for making porridge for your baby. You can also add some chopped green leaves, minced meat, etc. Or a small milk pan will also work. The one from Tianji is pretty good. I suggest mothers buy the one that can be scheduled. The simple three-speed one is not very easy to use and takes a very long time to cook. My family has the simple type, and we have to cook it early in the morning and eat it at noon.

Basically, except for some ingredients that may cause allergies in babies or are difficult for babies to digest, most foods can be used as ingredients for complementary porridge. But if you want your baby to get more comprehensive nutrition, you can add foods rich in protein and vitamins to your baby appropriately.

1. Protein-rich foods, such as chicken, lean meat, nuts, and beans. Protein has a special effect on babies. Protein is needed for the baby's growth and development, normal functioning and disease prevention, especially during the baby's rapid development period. Therefore, the baby should eat more protein-rich foods.

2. Foods rich in vitamins, such as carrots, kelp, cauliflower, etc. These foods can not only replenish water but also improve immunity. The rich vitamins can also help the absorption of iron and reduce the occurrence of anemia. It is recommended to feed them to babies frequently. Carrots, in particular, help enhance the brain's metabolism and are very beneficial for improving children's memory.

3. You can add some fish to your baby's diet, such as flatfish, yellow croaker, and croaker. These types of fish have more meat and fewer bones, making them easier to process into minced meat. Fish meat is high in phospholipids and protein, and is tender and easy to digest, which is suitable for the nutritional needs of baby's development, but you must buy fresh fish.

4. Sweet potatoes and potatoes. These two foods are not only nutritious, but also their taste and soft texture are loved by babies.

5. Peanuts. Peanuts are a type of nut that contains amino acids essential to the human body. They can improve the baby's intelligence, promote the metabolism of brain cells, and protect blood vessels. But it should be noted that if you want to use peanuts as an ingredient, it is recommended to crush them first with a soy milk maker, and then cook them together with rice into a complementary porridge.

Precautions for making complementary food porridge

1. If there is fishy food in the supplementary porridge you make for your baby, you can add some shredded ginger, which can not only remove the fishy smell, but also improve appetite and increase food intake. When consuming ginger, it is recommended not to remove the ginger skin. Ginger flesh is spicy and warm in nature, while ginger skin is spicy and cool in nature. In order to maintain the cool and hot balance of ginger's pharmacological effects, the ginger skin can be left on when consumed.

2. If you want to make a bowl of colorful and fragrant vegetable porridge, the method is very particular. Here are some precautions for making vegetable porridge.

(1) Add chopped vegetables to the pot and bring to a boil. If you cook them for too long, the taste will be bad and the vitamins will be lost.

(2) Vegetables added to baby food must be washed with running water first and then soaked in salt water for 15 minutes.

(3) It is recommended to cook vegetable porridge with broth, which tastes good and does not require the addition of other seasonings.

(4) Add an appropriate amount of cooked vegetable oil to the vegetable porridge. Vegetable oil not only provides heat energy, but also contains rich polyunsaturated fatty acids, which can promote the baby's brain development.
