Take all ingredients out 20 min before (room temperature) Cutting board Paring knife Kitchen scale Mixing bowl Steamer pot Do NOT buy a product without reading the label Do not cut too large: choking hazard Do not leave tough green bell pepper skin Do not forget to remove apple skin Do not add salt: baby's immature kidneys ⚠️ NEVER serve a product that may contain hidden eggs Cut ALL pieces the same size for even cooking For 12-18 months: thinner pieces (1 cm) Test cooking with a fork: bell pepper should be melting-tender KEEP PACKAGING of sensitive products to prove egg-free Check LABELS even for 'obvious' products (e.g. spice mixes sometimes contain eggs) Take out 30 min before for better incorporation 2
