At my LO's most recent doctor appointment we started to talk about solids. I was talking about how I intended to make (at least some) of his purees and the doctor mentioned that a hand blender was the easiest for his wife. We have a food processor which I assumed I would use. Did any of you find a hand blender (or any other tool, appliance) really useful in making purees?

I never used an immersion blender... our traditional food processor worked just fine. We used standard ice cube trays, too (not the fancy silicon cube ones)-- I only made enough food for 1-2 weeks at a time, so I didn't have a bunch that I needed to store efficiently.

I just steamed the veggies in a pot with a steamer basket, then pureed the veggies with some water in a regular blender. I put everything into ice cube trays, then when frozen I put them all into ziploc bags. Each cube = 1 ounce.

I've been using my magic bullet and ice cube trays. Once frozen I put the cubes in ziplocs

We used our mini food processor to puree foods. I wish I had bought the magic bullet or something similar though because there would have been fewer parts to clean. Our steaming basket also came in really handy.

we used a magic bullet too. along with ice cube trays

@Mrs. High Heels: Did exactly the same! Except I used silicone freezer trays but basically the same thing!

I liked the immersion blender bc it's so easy to clean. I just steamed using a steamer basket, threw the veggies/fruit in a bowl and used the hand blender...early on I mixed with pumped breastmilk. I liked that I could easily store the hand blender in a drawer and being it out easily to use every few days. I don't like having a ton of stuff in my counters
