method

Roughly chop all vegetables into small, even-sized pieces.

Place all the vegetables into the steaming basket.
Select the Steam function and set the timer for 20 minutes.
Once soft, transfer the steamed vegetables into the blending bowl.

storage guide

Store unserved, excess purée in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

For longer storage, pour into baby-portioned freezer trays or silicone trays (like the PureePops Tray) and freeze for up to 2 months.

To reheat, place frozen / cold purée in a heat-proof ramekin, and place inside the steaming basket for a short steam cycle in the KiddoKook Pro, or warm gently over a water bath. Always check temperature before serving.

benefits

✓ A naturally sweet mix of orange and white veggies packed with vitamins A and C to support vision and immunity.

✓ Carrots and pumpkin bring fibre for healthy digestion and beta-carotene for skin and eye health.

✓ Cauliflower adds vitamin B and choline, which help with early brain development.

✓ A smooth, veggie-rich starter that helps babies explore texture, colour, and flavour while building healthy eating habits early.

tips

Introduce one at a time: If it’s your baby’s first time with these veggies, consider offering them one at a time first, as single-ingredient purées, to see how they respond to each new taste.

Adjust texture: Add more steaming water for a smoother purée or less for a thicker, chunkier texture as your baby grows.

Meal prep tip: Freeze in small portions for quick, ready-to-serve meals.

Serving ideas: Serve warm as a purée, mix into pasta or rice, or swirl through yoghurt for a gentle veggie boost. (As long as your child isn’t sensitive to dairy.)

For added flavour: Once your baby is ready, sprinkle in mild baby-safe herbs like parsley or thyme to introduce new flavours.
