How do yo make homemade baby food...peas to be exact!

[Nessamommy]

I tried making peas for my 6 month old and they turned out a little lumpier than I would have liked (probably because of the skin). How can I make it smoother?

have you got a hand blender? you can get them from asda from under five pounds. totally invaluable if you are making your own babies food.

Are they better than a normal blender? I used a mini chopper which was great for the carrots I made. Is a hand blender any different?

Moulin legume. I put leftovers through our hand operated moulin legume and give it to my baby (8 months) I have just started using the medium seive bit (it comes with 3 - fine, medium and coarse) so he can get used to lumps. I bought it in France many moons ago and use it for soup and baby food.

Hmm..I've never heard of that before Swedes. Describe it. Is it like a food mill?

easier on the washing up, you can use it in the pan you cook the food in.

hand blender wee bit milk to puree it - yumm

It looks like this It is really brilliant. Any good cook shop should be able to source it for you.

used similar to this hand blender blende in the pot, then froze into icecubes in tray

thats what i use scottishmummy.

word of advice, dont use when whatever you are blending is too hot, the plastic makes interesting shapes but makes the blender unusable!

Aye!so true i have mangled a few

Thanks! I have seen something like this at a baby store by my house...I think I'll pick one up!
