What is the best way to puree meats?
We have found that the best way to puree meat is to make sure the cooked meat is COLD and is in no bigger than 1-2 inch chunks when you puree. Grind up the meat first until it’s almost like a clumpy powder. Add water/natural juices as the liquid if this will be your baby’s first experience with meat. If you use the juices when first giving meats, the taste may be too strong. Using water to begin with might be best. You can combine a fruit/veggie with the water as well. You’ll have to experiment because all babies have different tolerances/preferences for tastes and textures. Many parents have told us that they had great success with pureeing meat(s) when the meat(s) were hot or warm. Most often, this success was achieved when the meats had been boiled, poached or stewed in a crock-pot or slow-cooker.
