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

Didn't get any special equipment (opps!). Steamed/boiled fruits and vegetables in regular pots and pans. Also used a regular Philips food processor and blender for purees and mashed potato. Perhaps you could refer to this buying guide for a list of recommended products: http://sg.theasianparent.com/the-best-steamer-and-blender-shopping-guide-special/ I know of a few mothers who are using Avent steamer and blender. No complaints from them and they often recommend it to other mummies. You can consider this if you are thinking of getting steamer and blender. :)
