Is this good for making baby mush from cooked veggies and fruits?

I never tried that, but it does an adequate job with frozen fruits (while they are still frozen), so I would think this item would be a good and inexpensive way to blend cooked fruits and veggies for the wee one.

This is mainly designed for beverages. If you try it for mashed veges I would add some stock to the cooked veges.

That's why I bought it. It works great. I left the zucchini skin on and went through the entire piece. You could easily avoid seeds (thinking cucumber for me) with this. I really didn't know if the zucchini would get too mushy to stay in the strips, but it was OK-still in strings with some substance to them after stir-frying. I use zucchini for pasta often.

It works great as a steamer for veggies. In fact it works great for just about everything we have used it for. The recipes in the enclosed recipe booklet are spot-on delicious. We use it a lot.

I think it will work. I have used it in a closed container of baby spinach and it did great. You would need to put it in the bag to work however. It need to be in contact with the air that surrounds the fruit or vegetable.

I've used it for all types of potatoes and sweet potatoes and squash and cucumbers. so far no problems - although overly ripe (soft) ones can mush a little. I am happy with mine.

I know my daughter uses it all the time to make baby food, she says it works great. That's the only food her baby has had, now 8 months old.

This does require some work, but if you like the ingredients and are just needing a different consisteny (pate versus chunks), you can use a baby food mill. Parents have used this device to even take adult, human food, and easily mush it into a healthier, cheaper baby food/pate. You can find different versions and varieties on Amazon for as cheap as $8. Blenders or food processors would get messy because of the blades, but the baby food mills are designed to clean up easier, and to be able to easily get out the baby food after mushing. It would get trapped under the blades of a blender or processor.

Depends on how soft the food is. You can get most things without skin or seed into a smooth purée (I.e. Sweet potato, carrots) If ur baby is not ready for texture you may want a backup plan.Realistically, nothing manual like this will be just like the baby bullet but once my baby was able to handle texture I only used this masher. It's easier to clean and feed straight out of the bowl

Yes, the OXO Food Mill is perfect for baby food. You will want to use the finest or smallest disc of the 3 in the box . This is the same as most people would use for Apple Sauce so it should serve you well for baby food. I don't think it would hurt to try the middle size disc either if your baby doesn't mind a bit more texture. Happy Cooking!!! Drew.

Think you might end up with MUSH instead of a minced bean...use your chefs knife..chop-chop...think it would be better. This handy tool is great for herbs...parsley....etc

It would work. It is all ground up, ready to mix with water (can use water from cooking veggies). It absorbs water and reconstitutes into soft food.

Don't think it would liquefy rice for baby; however, it works great for mixing. I am using mine for mixing pudding, crushed medication pills, milk for a patient. It makes it into a soup consistency and I love the results.

I have used it to puree vegetables that had been cooked soft in a slow cooker dish and was happy with the results. If you are cooking/steaming the vegetables to a relatively soft stage, I think you'd get a good result. I don't know that you would get as successful a result with meat. Don't know about fruit. Hope that helps.

Absolutely! We have cooked broccoli, zucchini, squash, corn on the cob...just cook it in shorter intervals (and test it to see if it's done enough for you) and it's amazing! The moisture just stays with the veggies!

I have only used the cutter for meat & cheese...But, you have a good idea...If the veg was firm I don't see a problem...but if soft & mushy I don't think it will work for ya...

I use it for baby food and it works very well. The silicon lid helps to smooth and even out the cubes. Plus you stack them and put them in the freezer at any angle and not worry about loosing anything. It takes about 3 cubes to make 2 oz. I hope this helps.
