Food processer/blender

we just use a hand-blender (is good for travelling too).

thanks everyone for the recommendations and the warning about beaba babycook!

Tallmama, do you know by any chance what material is used in the Chicco machine?

thanks again!

What is the material of the steaming basket? The food doesn't touch the bowl, only the steaming basket. Does the BPA still seep through?

 

[tallmama]

The Chicco machine is made of PSU, supposed to be BPA free.

tallmama -- thanks for the info. i've done a little bit research and it seemed that PSU may contain BPA? no?

we use an ordinary hand held Moulinex blender which I love!!

thanks for the recommendation, NYCMel! may i ask whether the hand held blender can puree the food for a 6-month old, as thin as the 1st stage jar food? thanks again!

hi-- could someone please let me know whether the ordinary handheld blenders would puree the food fine enough for a 6 month old, just like the jar food?

thanks a lot!

hi can i ask if it's necessary to buy a blender and cooker separately for the baby? can we just use the normal cooker for to cook the food and use a manual hand blender to blend the food?

Hi miao and sprawld, I use a normal hand blender to puree baby food, even cooked chicken. Just try to buy the ones with the metal ends and not plastic because they seem to last longer. I've been cooking the food normally (steam or m/w) and just blending it. I think the processors are more convenient, but for small kitchens without much counter space, this works too!
