Help!Cooking and Kitchen tools!...i don't have a clue!

[LaDY]

I am so clueless in the kitchen...firstly i can't cook!...My mum used to always cook for me...and i don't know what kitchen tools are called...

When i start feeding my bubs i want to cook my bubs food...if i want to give him purees...what tool do i need in the kitchen? Is it a blender?...or a puree mixer?...whats it called?

Also if i want to give him vegatables...is it a veg steamer i need?

Im planning on buying them online today...and some recipe books

You can use one of those little hand blender things if you arent doing gigantic portions hun.

As for a steamer you can buy a separate electric one or you can buy one that goes on top of your saucepans that will steam the veg. Whatever is easier and more confy for you!!

i dont have a blender but i would say they are good to get for blending food up for your baby and i also want to get a steamer for veggies as they cook better and cook potaotes quicker ive heard there brill . Im not so good in the kitchen either only for cleaning my partner taught me to cook lol but i need to learn more healthy things to cook for charlie at the moment im just giving him the baby jar dinners, goodluck with experimenting!

Hand blender for pureeing - well worth it! You can steam the veggies as it keeps more goodness in, or you can just boil them in plain water & use some of the water when you are pureeing to thin the mixture as the goodness goes into the water.
When you first start weaning, it is just a case of steaming/boiling one or two veg together, in plain water then pureeing, or poaching a peeled/seeded/cored apple for example in plain water until soft then pureeing. There aren't much cooking skills involved until later on when bubs can eat more of the foods we do!!
I tend to make a few meals & use jars for more variety as you are limited to what you can use at this stage.
I'm sure you will be fine
