Recommended Baby Food Processors, Mills And Grinders
If you're cooking in bulk for your little one, baby food processors are great time-savers and help you achieve
ideal, consistent textures.
From baby's first purees to more sophisticated chopped meals, these handy appliances make baby food
preparation quick and easy.
The advantages of using processors made specifically for baby food is that they tend to be smaller
in size and easier to clean. But traditional models also do the job just as well, plus they continue to
be useful well after your baby is enjoying the same food as the rest of the family.

Like the idea of a 2 in 1 baby food processor but find the Babycook (below) a little too expensive?
Then take a look at the babyPro, which both steams and purees your homemade baby food, but costs under $60. The Babycook does have a couple of extra functions - such as thawing and warming - but one of the great features of the babyPro is the ability to puree one food and steam another at the same time - because the two functions work independently of each other. Another bonus for some parents may be the fact that the babyPro is designed to blend into the kitchen and does not feature the bright colours used by the manufacturers of the Babycook!

Kalorik is one of Europe's oldest manufacturers of kitchen appliances. It has a great reputation for quality products - and its baby food maker is no exception! Priced somewhat more economically than other baby food makers with similar functions, it's extremely easy to use, with just one 2-position switch to use throughout the whole 10 minute process (a BIG plus for us - we hate that sinking feeling you get from a complicated instruction manual!). It can be used in other ways too, as it features attachments for thawing frozen food, heating milk and sterilizing pacifiers! And it looks nice in the kitchen, where it will go on being useful for other culinary purposes long after baby has moved on to grown up food!

Puree your baby's food the old fashioned way! These food mills don't use batteries or electricity - so they're not just great to use at home, they're also ideal for travel, allowing you to prepare meals for your baby wherever you go.

This has to be the ultimate in baby food processors - because it actually cooks or heats your little one's food, too! Yes, the Beaba Babycook will steam fruits, veggies etc in under 15 minutes and will turn off automatically when the food is done. It will then puree the food to the perfect texture, ready for serving - or you can pop it into the freezer for another day. Need to thaw then reheat baby's dinner? The Babycook will do that for you, too! It's a fairly pricey appliance, but we've had lots of good reports from Moms who wouldn't be without it! US
This high quality ricer has oversized, padded handles to easily and effectively pulverize baby's food! Made by OXO, this handy gadget works in the same way as a garlic press, with no assembly required - so it is very easy to set up... and clean up! What's more, you can continue to use it even after baby has moved on to chunkier textures, as it's fantastic for making perfect mashed potato and 'mashing' other root veggies!

More than just a baby food processor - this kit contains everything you'll need to prepare healthy, homemade baby food!

This great gadget cooks your baby's food then AUTOMATICALLY blends it. This means that you can go off and do something else - the Baby Brezza will take care of the rest! If needed, though, you can control the functions separately, which is great if you want to add more ingredients as you go along.

These Cuisinart models are versatile enough for use as baby food processors, or for more general culinary use. We like them because they're versatile, small in size - and very economically priced.

If you're looking for more of a "long term investment", then we highly recommend the Magic Bullet! Despite its small size, it's very powerful... and very versatile! It's perfect for baby food, but can also be used to make smoothies, grind coffee, crush ice etc. It comes with lots of accessories and a handy recipe book.

Another cool appliance - and slightly more economically priced - is the Steamer/Blender by AVENT. Extremely easy to use, this blender is a real time saver for busy mums - you just pop in the fruits, veggies, meat or fish that you wish to prepare for baby, steam them, then turn the unit over to puree them. Hey presto, dinner is served! And the good news is that the blender has few parts, so it's easy to dismantle and clean.

This cool tool creates homemade baby food with a fine consistency - what's more, it makes PERFECT mashed potato, so you'll be using it long after baby is eating the same food as mummy and daddy. The large non-slip handles make pureeing food a breeze!

This blender isn't designed specifically for baby food but does the job perfectly well. It's both stylish and versatile enough to go on and be useful for more general purposes.

One of the most popular baby food processors on the market today, the Babycook does three jobs in one. It can either defrost your baby's meals, cook them, or puree them! It's definitely one of the more expensive baby food accessories out there, but the fact that it takes the place of several kitchen appliances makes it a little more economical than it first appears!

If you think all 2 in 1 baby food processors are expensive, then check out the babyPro. It can steam one batch of food whilst simultaneously pureeing another (a really handy feature when you're cooking in bulk). What's more, it's compact enough to leave out on your kitchen counter for frequent use!
