The baby food warmer can gently heat food for your child to preserve as much nutrition as possible. Compared to heating in a pot, using a baby bottle Warmer is also faster and safer. The food is heated more evenly, and the handling of such small kitchen utensils is not complicated. This way you can prepare a hot meal for your child in a few minutes.

How often should I descale the baby food maker?

Regular use can cause scale to build up on baby food warmers that work with water baths or steam. You can easily remove it, but always follow the manufacturer's care instructions.

First, you fill the device with water and heat it up. Then add some citric acid or household vinegar and let the mixture work for about half an hour. Once the scale comes off the equipment, please rinse it off with plenty of water immediately.

Limescale can also be removed without heating the water. To do this, add one portion of water (for example 100 ml) to half of the vinegar (ie 50 ml). After the exposure time, rinse the equipment thoroughly.
The frequency of descaling also depends on the water hardness in your area. Once a month, it has proven its value in most areas.

To clean the outside of the device, unplug it and wipe it with a cloth and a little detergent. Don't forget to rinse well!

How to use a food warmer to heat baby food?

Baby bottle and mashed potato heaters are tailored to the various needs of families with children. They also differ in heating methods.

Heating in a water bath

Similar to heating in a pan, baby food is heated in a water bath. After putting the bottle or jar into the baby food supplement, you can fill the baby food supplement and start it. The advantage of this kind of baby food warmer that works according to the water bath principle is that the food is heated more evenly. The water is changed after each use, so the equipment is always kept in good hygiene.

Steam heating

These bottle warmers also need water, but here it will evaporate in the equipment. Not only can steam heat baby food very uniformly, but this method can also save water. Since there is no stagnant water that may form bacteria, baby food warmers that use steam are considered particularly hygienic.

Infrared heating

A baby food heater with infrared function does not require any water at all. These devices do not calcify, so they are particularly easy to maintain. However, compared with a breast warmer with water, it takes longer for baby food to heat up to the desired temperature.
