Easy use and easy clean up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-puree-maker#post-2772056 Thu, 07 Sep 2017 06:34:13 +0000 looch 2772056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a Beaba babycook. At the time, I was living abroad and didn't have access to a microwave, a large freezer or a food processor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-puree-maker#post-2772027 Wed, 06 Sep 2017 21:15:10 +0000 Beehive 2772027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We like our Beaba Babycook, with two chambers. It's nice because you can steam and blend the food in the same appliance, so there's less clean up. You can make big batches to freeze with two chambers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-puree-maker#post-2772023 Wed, 06 Sep 2017 20:18:09 +0000 Eko 2772023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>definitely get the immersion blender. I use that thing for everything. Baby food, smoothies, soups, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-puree-maker#post-2772020 Wed, 06 Sep 2017 19:56:25 +0000 Alba4 2772020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a Beaba that only lasted for one child. For #2 we ended up using our hand-held immersion blender. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-puree-maker#post-2771921 Wed, 06 Sep 2017 13:32:01 +0000 littlebug 2771921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved my baby brezzo. I didn't have a food processor (still don't, actually) so I wanted something. I liked the brezzo because I did everything in one container - throw the food in, set it to steam for whatever amount of time, and at the end of steaming, it automatically purees. There was a booklet that gave recommended steaming times and recipes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-puree-maker#post-2771916 Wed, 06 Sep 2017 13:17:56 +0000 Mommy Finger 2771916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just used my immersion blender. Much easier to clean and control </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-puree-maker#post-2771911 Wed, 06 Sep 2017 13:10:25 +0000 JennyPenny 2771911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ah hah! I was wrong - mine is a Kitchenaid and looking through some reviews of current models of Kitchenaids many people comment that they're annoying to clean and the Cuisinarts generally have better reviews. I think I may have found my problem :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-puree-maker#post-2771910 Wed, 06 Sep 2017 13:00:33 +0000 NorthStar 2771910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used my Cuisinart food processor. It has worked great for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-puree-maker#post-2771907 Wed, 06 Sep 2017 12:49:21 +0000 JennyPenny 2771907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: maybe I just need a new food processor cause I think mine is a pain to clean. I think its annoying to scrape food off the blade and out of the funny shaped bowl. It bugs me when I use it to cook though too so that's probably the real issue. Its a basic Cuisinart but its probably 10 years old at this point... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-puree-maker#post-2771905 Wed, 06 Sep 2017 12:45:35 +0000 erinbaderin 2771905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used my food processor if I was doing a big batch, my hand blender for a small batch. I don't think you need a separate appliance. What annoyed you about your food processor? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-puree-maker#post-2771901 Wed, 06 Sep 2017 12:32:28 +0000 Pollywog 2771901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just used ny mini Cuisinart food processor. It was cheap, easy to clean, and worked well </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-puree-maker#post-2771898 Wed, 06 Sep 2017 12:28:46 +0000 JennyPenny 2771898@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With DS1 I tried for a very short time to make my own purees. He didn't like them and I found my food processor frustrating to use for this purpose. I want to give it another go with DS2 and am thinking maybe a better piece of gear will help - but there's so many choices and so many price points. So what do you like/hate about yours? I'm especially interested in how it does for making different textures, ease of cleaning and getting food out/into other storage containers, and footprint in your kitchen. Thanks! </p>
