After steaming, we added the carrots to the blending compartment of the baby food maker and blended the food according to the manufacturer’s instructions. We made notes of the consistencies of the purees, like whether they were smooth or had chunky pieces, along with the smell. We removed the pureed carrots from the machines to determine how many servings the food maker made. Then, we compared the consistency and texture of the carrots with a jar of baby food to note any variables and differences. Lastly, we followed the manufacturer’s instructions to disassemble the baby food maker and clean it by hand, noting if the cleaning process was difficult or easy. Two blade and two bowl attachments allow users to chop or mill small or large quantities of food, such as sweet potatoes or oats. There's only one way to operate the Nuby Mighty Blender—and we love that it doesn't involve any buttons. Press the blender bowl onto the motor, then release pressure when you reach your desired consistency. If you push the blender bowl down and stop in between, we found that you can create a "pulse" function for various consistencies, including beginner's purees and chunkier toddler mini-meals. While not too loud, it was somewhat challenging to converse during blending. One important note: The company recommends against running the blender motor for more than one minute at a time.

Stage 3 (typically 10 to 12 months old): Slowly replace purees with soft, chewable chunks of food/finger foods Push the button in the middle of the dial to blend food to your desired texture. When comparing the food we prepped in the lab to jar baby food, the two consistencies weren’t the same. The jar food was slightly more creamy and smooth, while ours resembled an applesauce texture. However, the color of the jar food couldn’t compare to the vibrancy of the fresh food we prepared in the food makers.

I love this food processor!” says five-star reviewer, UCLALeslie. “I am an amateur cook and I love cooking at home. This food processor is amazing! I use it to knead bread, I absolutely love that attachment. I also use it to chop, mix and mince my vegetables. Great product!!!” The Béaba Babycook Neo is the highest-priced baby food maker we tested and on our list. While not the most budget-friendly, the machine does a great job blending and steaming food. Plus, it comes in three modern color combinations: cloud (white and gray), eucalyptus (green and rose gold), and midnight (dark blue and light pink).

In addition to steaming and blending, the Baby Brezza food maker defrosts and reheats food. Because this is a complex machine, the instructions are lengthy but easy to understand. The company details how to use each function: steam and blend, steam only, blend only, reheat, and defrost. An additional booklet doubles as cooking guidelines for basic foods and includes the recommended quantity and how long to steam. Once you set the recommended steam time, the machine automatically transitions from steam to blend without interruption. We followed the suggested steaming time for carrots (25 minutes) and found that time to be just right. However, the texture was slightly chunkier than expected after the automatic blending. And while there’s no shortage of information and advice (even the unsolicited kind) from experts and well-intended individuals on how and what to feed your kids, our philosophy for feeding little ones mirrors the philosophy we advocate for feeding ourselves : eating a variety of wholesome, minimally processed foods with as little stress or fuss as possible. With children, there are also a few other factors to consider. Here are a few general principles that can be helpful to draw from when starting your baby on solid foods: You can start with baby food purees, either homemade or store-bought, or with baby-led weaning. While your baby’s first foods are your choice, the food should be soft or pureed to prevent choking, such as pureed carrots, peas, or well-cooked pasta. Be sure to steam hard fruits or vegetables, such as apples or carrots, so they’ll puree easier. Role model. As parents or caregivers, it can be helpful to understand the division of responsibilities at mealtimes: it’s our job to decide what food to serve and when; it’s o ur babies’ job to decide if and how much they want to eat. Mealtimes are a new, exciting time for a baby and they’re more fun for all of us if we can take a little of the pressure off. To earn its spot on your countertop, a quality food processor should be a total workhorse. The NutriBullet 7-cup food processor can chop, mix, purée, grind, knead, shred, spiralize and more, and with its powerful 450-watt motor, it can breeze through almost any task you throw at it. Cauliflower rice? Easy. Big batches of basil pesto? No problem. Near-instant homemade ice cream? Done.If you prefer an alternative to plastic, the Béaba Babycook Neo with a glass bowl is a great option; it doesn’t absorb stains or odors, leaves less residue, is easy to clean, and is environmentally friendly. The Babycook Neo is a 4-in-1 food processor that steams, mixes, defrosts, and reheats baby food. It comes with one steamer basket that holds 4 cups of food, while its bowl holds up to 5 cups, so you can prep several servings simultaneously. When deciding which NutriBullet is right for you, think about what exactly you’ll be using it for. Will you be making smoothies with frozen fruit? Juicing whole fruits and vegetables? Puréeing cooked foods? Once you’ve determined your needs, consider the following points:

Power: If you’ll regularly be processing tough ingredients like ice, nuts, seeds, firm vegetables or frozen veggies, you’ll want a motor with higher wattage.The manufacturer’s instructions are a breeze to follow and include illustrations (and recipes!) on how to use the product. You’ll also find instructions directly on the motor base that detail how to turn the batch bowl to begin blending. To blend, simply press the bowl down onto the base and blend to your desired consistency. You can continuously stop pressing the bowl during blending to replicate a pulse function. The biggest downside to the machine’s design is the short cord. Otherwise, it’s surprisingly quiet compared to other baby food makers we tested.
