About the Book

The world's most popular pressure-cooking blogger marshals the power of the Instant Pot to make healthy and tasty toddler food in The Instant Pot Toddler Food Cookbook.

Book Synopsis

Fresh and flavorful, safe and natural homemade foods for your toddler--cooked up quickly and conveniently in your Instant Pot or other electric pressure cooker!

Parents of toddlers everywhere want to ensure that the food they feed their children is all-natural and free of additives, and that is why they prefer to make it fresh themselves rather than buying processed foods. They also seek variety, because in recent years pediatricians and dietitians have been recommending that a toddler's diet feature a wide variety of ingredients, well beyond what you can buy in the "kid-friendly" aisle at the supermarket. And, nothing to sneeze at, they do it to save money--sometimes lots of money.

How do they find the time? It isn't always easy. Enter the wildly popular Instant Pot, along with other brands of electric pressure cooker, the perfect solution for time-crunched moms and dads. Pressure cooking is skyrocketing in popularity in large part because of its speed. You can cook up a batch of toddler cereals, spoon foods, or finger foods in a matter of minutes. Pressure cooking is the ideal method for making baby and toddler foods.
