If you had to whip out the food processor every time you need to feed your baby a tasty home cooked meal, the routine would get old really quick. Fortunately, the majority of food purees you create can be made in bulk and easily frozen with the help of a simple household object, the ice cube tray. If you're looking to prepare baby food but don't need to freeze it, you might like reusable baby food pouches<\/a> for on-the-go convenience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many big-name commercial baby brands sell plastic containers that have been designed specifically to freeze baby food. Guess what? They are rubbish. Not only are they much more expensive than ice cube trays but (from personal experience) less effective as well. These products are a solution to a problem that never existed.<\/p>\n\n\n

It's BPA free.<\/b>Unless otherwise stated, BPA (bisphenol A) is commonly found in products made of plastic. BPA may have negative health effects on the brain, behavior and prostate gland of babies and young children. Needless to say, you don't want BPA in baby products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's not made from silicon. <\/b>Unfortunately, silicon can absorb the odors found in the freezer. This is particularly noticeable with older silicon trays that have spent the majority of their time in the freezer. The problem is, the silicon trays can pass this odor onto the baby food within them, giving the baby food a foul tasting flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ice is easily removable. <\/b>Have you ever gone to retrieve your newly frozen ice cubes only to discover you need the strength of a thousand elephants to remove it? I don't know Rubbermaid has done it, but Ice cubes are easily removable by mere mortals with a simple twisting action. No need to heat the ice cube tray in warm water or bang it against the kitchen counter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
