Recipe Notes
As always, please check with your pediatrician before introducing new foods to your baby.
Do you need to adjust the water level for frozen fruits and vegetables? I have frozen peas, mango, and green bean. Wondering how that works.
Hi Katie! The water level doesn’t change for frozen vs fresh produce. For peas, mango and green beans we would do water level 2!

Question how I know how much water to put? If I only want to make a simple spinach pure
Hi Paola, when steaming soft foods like banana and spinach, you can use Water Level 1 (5 minutes). When steaming foods with higher water content, such as string beans, zucchini, apples and pears, Babycook runs for approximately 10 minutes with Water level 2. When steaming foods with low water content, such as potatoes, carrots, peas, red meat and poultry, Babycook takes approximately 15 minutes with Water Level 3. When reheating foods, cook with Water Level 1 (about 5 minutes).
