Best Choices in Baby Food Makers

There is a sea of baby food makers on the market, from hand grinders to what appear to be state of the art machines. A good friend just uses her mini food processor. She’s on her 5th child and is completely confident in what she’s doing andfeeding her 7 month old what everyone else is eating. Being a first time mom. I’m not that confident. Plus, I didn’t have a mini food processor anyway.

Here is a sampling of styles, along with the best on the market:

Mini Food Processors

Just to get this out of the way, if you want a mini food processor this is about the best you can get for quick grinding of whatever you are eating. It’s very basic and only holds  1 1/2 cups, so it’s definitely of “per serving” use. If you want a more versatile food processor, there are dozens to choose from. If you are planning on making batches of food, you’re definitely going to want a larger one.

Cons:

Nuby Steamer and Masher

If you’re a microwave user, this is a great way to get your feet wet in the world of baby food making.

Pros:

If Nuby isn’t your brand or you want just the masher, you can find others by Nuk, Munchkin, and several off-brands

Cons:

Immersion Blender

Sage Spoonfuls makes a system tailored to baby food making including some great books. You can also buy just the blender.

Pros:

Cons:

 

Baby Bullet

This system is definitely the cutest of all of the baby food makers, but the steamer and processor are sold separately.

Pros:

Cons:

 

Mliter All in One

The MLiter All in One was a really close second when I was choosing my baby food maker.


Pros:

Cons:

 

Beaba BabyCook

The queen of baby food makers, the Beaba company has been around for decades and introduced it’s first baby food machine in 1989. They have a wide range of products now, from cutlery to baby baths to drying racks.

This is my top pick for our family. You can choose the single canister model or a double canister.
