We use the Philips Avent 4-in-1 baby food maker. Today we have carrot puree. Our babies started eating baby food at the age of 4 months. The device saves us a lot of time.

Steam

First, cut the sweet baby carrots into pieces no larger than 1×1 cm.

According to the table, it takes 20 minutes with the baby food maker until they are steamed.

Steaming time and water level

Therefore, we fill the tank with 200 ml of water.

Now we put on the lid.

Note: Never ever forget to put this lid, because otherwise the steam will get into the electronics and the steam function will stop working!!!

You have to insert the blades to be able to blend later.

Now we fill in the carrots:

The lid must be rotated into the indentation:

Put on the container.

Set to 20 minutes. The steaming symbol lights up.

The water starts to boil:

After 20 minutes, the device beeps and the light goes out. Turn off now.

Blend

Take out the container and turn it upside down:

The container must click into place correctly, otherwise you cannot blend:

Hold the button for blending:

This is what the result looks like, which can be removed with the supplied spatula:

Feeding

We add a teaspoon of rapeseed or olive oil:

When we freeze we don’t add oil because oil doesn’t freeze that well.

We feed the babies:
