When it comes to feeding our son I’m useless, but my wife has come up with a nice system for making baby food.
Because of the miniscule amounts being cooked, we have a separate electric induction hotplate. Induction is much faster than the usual radiant heat, and the controls are immediately responsive, like gas.
Along with the hotplate, you’ll need to get an induction compatible saucepan, but given that you’re cooking little people quantities, you might have to get a little one quart saucepan anyways.
Once the food is cooked she uses the handheld immersion stick blender to turn it into a big gooey little soup, which is spoon fed to the little guy.
It reminds me of the garage apartment in Berkeley that I lived in after graduation. The kitchen was a little counter with a mini fridge, toaster oven, and hot plate. A big boy kitchen in miniature, I didn’t even have room for a rice cooker. The last fifteen years would have upgraded this neat little collection of gadgets with an airfyer, induction cookplate, and instapot.
Even so, that little guy would have made some awful food, cause fifteen years ago, I didn’t have the skill, experience, or energy to make decent edibles materialize.
