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.
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

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.

This is a great little baby food processor for the price!
Like some higher priced models, it steams, blends, thaws and reheats. It's also super-quiet, which is handy if your little one startles at loud noises.
This is a SMALL blender, so we don't recommend it for batch cooking. But it's perfect if you're looking for something that doesn't take up too much space, and want to prep baby's meals 'as you go'.

We LOVE this high quality ricer, which works on the same principle as a garlic press.
It is designed to be very comfortable to use and includes three discs for different degrees of 'fineness'. Not only does this make it useful as your baby progresses on to different texture, it also means you can use it for making perfect mashed potato and 'mashing' other root veggies!
This ricer is easy to use and easy to clean - and whilst there are a few ricers on the market specifically designed for baby food, this one is our hands-down favorite!

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.

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!

A great price for a great blender!
Tommee Tippee's Explora has 2 speed settings, so it's easy to get the right texture at each stage of development (puree/mashed/chunky etc). It also has a pulse action, so you can very carefully control the consistency of baby's food.
If you are a little short on counter space, this compact little machine is the perfect blender for you!

We just love this little blender, which is ideal for use at home but lightweight enough to take on your travels too!
It comes with a convenient USB charging dock (brilliant idea!) and a worldwide adapter, meaning you can take it on holiday virtually wherever you go. It also has a battery that's designed to last for a whole weekend, so you can even take it camping!
It features a detachable bowl and spoon, with the spoon acting as a cover for the on/off switch when you travel (to avoid accidental blending of your belongings en route - always a plus!).
We prefer this blender for younger babies and here's why. It needs a fair amount of liquid to produce a smooth puree and even then the portion size is quite small. You could, of course, make 2 portions at a time. Given the sheer convenience of having a blender you can take everywhere, this might be something you're prepared to do!
