Introducing solids to my baby soon. Any tools and gadgets for making homemade baby food should I prepare? special container? any recommended blender?

Hands down i am loving my Avent Steam and Blend Machine. I been using it for 4 years now (yes i still use this for my 4 year old toddler) Its great for steaming and you can blend it immediately without even using another device. I do not do advance purees, so i can't advice you much on that. But i know many mummies freeze those purees in ice cubes for future use
