Hi Pauline,

I think a 6 quart Instant Pot would be a great fit for you and your little one! I talk about pressure cooker equipment in our cookbook. All name brand Instant Pots come with a stainless steel pan so you don’t have to worry about toxins from those pans. If you’re interested in a sterilize feature, the Instant Pot Duo Plus offers that. (For the record, there’s some discussion on whether it gets quite hot enough to truly sterilize in a medical sense, but it does get hot enough to sanitize well, so unless you’re dealing with a preemie I think it’s a great feature for cleaning binkies or bottle parts.) You could also run a steam setting on the regular Instant Pot Duo or on the more expensive models and get the same sanitizing clean.

I’d also recommend a good steamer basket and a cake pan. If you opt for anodized aluminum or stainless steel pans, you don’t have to worry about the aluminum leeching into your baby food. You can see all of our recommended cookware here: https://www.amazon.com/shop/pressurecookingtoday?listId=3J4890RWCF7EZ

Regarding the safe preparation of baby food, we talk a lot about baby food safety and choosing ingredients in the baby food cookbook as well. 🙂

I hope this helps!

Thank you! 🙂

Thanks so much, Genene! I’m definitely more shy than my mom, and the warm welcome is SO nice to help me step out of my comfort zone a little. 🙂

Thanks Carol! You support means so much to us.

Thanks so much Genene! I’m sure Amy Rose will love the toddler meals 🙂

So nice – thank you! I am very fortunate to have Jenn living 10 minutes from me and having so much in common.

Thanks so much Kathy!
