The Super Easy Way to Make Your Own Baby Food: Freshfoods Cook-n-Blend Baby Food Maker Review

Even though my daughter is only a couple weeks old and we’re still getting the hang of nursing, I know that like everything else with parenthood, time will fly by and soon enough, she’ll be guzzling down solid foods and growing up before we know it.

So that is why when I got the chance to receive the Freshfoods Cook-n-Blend Baby Food Maker from NUK through the Moms Meet blogger program, I was excited to add this to her arsenal in preparation for those days ahead of us.

The Freshfoods Baby Food Maker is an all-in-one steamer, blender and food processor so that you can make your own, homemade baby food from scratch in one convenient appliance with minimal effort. Since I’ve always been one to make as much of my own household items from scratch as it is, making my own baby food was always something I’d intended anyway. But this food maker simplifies it so that even the most novice of mommas can whip up good-for-you meals for their babes, lickity split.

With the food maker, you can make up to four meals at a time and select whether you want smooth or chunky texture. The machine itself is pretty small so that it’s quite manageable (as compared to my regular food processor). You steam (if necessary) and blend in the same container so it’s not very messy at all, and clean-up is simplified. Plus, if you want to steam two different foods at once, there’s a separate steam compartment so that you can multitask without hassle. Once you set the choices, it only takes about fifteen minutes or so to steam the veggies and then a couple more minutes to puree them and you have fresh, whole-foods dinner ready for baby.

I’m so excited about incorporating this time- and space- and sanity-saving device into our routine. In the meantime, I’ve already tested it out for steaming some sweet potatoes for me and my husband one night for dinner and could not be more pleased with how easy it was to use; it only took 17 minutes to steam two tubers and then about five more minutes to puree them into mashed sweet potatoes. It's super efficient, so there's no need to only relegate it to baby tasks. I intend on using it in the future whenever I want to steam veggies, since it does the task a lot faster than I can on the stove-top and with less clean-up involved.
