Step 1
Prepare your favorite recipe for homemade baby food.
Step 2
Spoon prepared food into ice cube trays or silicone molds.
Step 3
Cover trays with cling wrap and place trays in a freezer for at least 2 hours or, for best results, up to 24 hours.
Step 4
Bring your freeze dryer to the recommended temperature before removing the baby food from the freezer.
Step 5
If desired, prepare freeze-dryer trays with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Step 6
Remove trays of baby food from the freezer, discard plastic wrap, and transfer the cubes to the freeze-dryer trays.
Step 7
Load the trays in the freeze dryer, put the insulating cover in place (for older models), and shut the door.
Step 8
Set the timer for 20 hours, checking when the signal goes off, and if it’s not completely freeze-dried, return it to the freeze-dryer for 2-hour increments until done.
Step 9
Store baby food out of direct sunlight in well-labeled containers with oxygen absorbers.
