Moms who make their own baby food...

how do you steam the veggies?

Im thinking a rice cooker is probably easiest?

Or microwave steam bags? Or just a steamer over a pot?

looking for the easiest/fastest way I guess.

That's what I have always done.

FYI--microwaving kills nutrients in veggies, it's best not to use that method.

I use a steamer. (Bottle pot is a regular pot, top part has holes.) I reuse some of the water from the bottle to make the puree smoother.

That's what I did. Then it was easy to take the water out of the pot to use that in the mixture - you don't lose any of the nutrients that way either.
