Blender for baby food

Having a child is not only a great joy, but also a huge responsibility. After all, you have to solve so many important issues, most of which will concern the baby’s nutrition. Here you have to choose whether to buy baby food in the store and do it yourself at home. Of course, home cooking takes more time, but you will be sure that your baby gets everything you need.

Let's look at suitable blenders for cooking baby food at home.

Blender classification

Every day more and more models appear on the market, and it is more and more difficult to choose from this variety. First of all, let's see what kinds of blenders are there at all. So, they are divided into:

  • Submersible;
  • Stationary.

Which of these is better for children is up to you.

Submersible can be used in any dish or pan, without unloading the contents into a special bowl.In the advantages of this type, you can safely write down the fact that it is small and compact, and also grinds food in mashed potatoes, suitable even for kids up to a year. If we mention the cons, there are not too many of them.

An immersion blender is not always convenient to hold, they are always busy with at least one hand. Also, it is too powerful, but in this case it does not matter, because for the preparation of food the kid will definitely have enough strength. In addition, this machine and adults are able to prepare delicious cocktails.

Mini-blenders can also be counted as submersible models. This is a good option for small portions, as you do not have to scrape all the contents into a bottle.

But such a machine is only a temporary solution, because children grow up, and soon your baby will have little of the portion that this blender is capable of producing. In addition, such models often break down and they have very little power, which is not always enough to grind everything correctly.

Stationary Models are machines that stand still. As a rule, a bowl is attached to them, which is attached to the base. A huge plus of such blenders is that you load the ingredients inside, expose the necessary settings - and you can safely go on with your business.

If you have a large family and you want to cook food for everyone with this machine, then the stationary blender is for you.

In the minuses, you can specify the fact that clean such a unit can be hard because of the many details. Therefore, choose a blender with a bowl that detaches - this will make washing easier.

Another significant disadvantage is that these machines are designed specifically for cooking large volumes of food, and if you need very little, then it definitely does not suit you.

Additional options

For the convenience of moms and not only, in the last couple of years such a model as a multi-cooker blender has appeared. This is a kind of stationary blender, but with the function of the multicooker. As a rule, this machine has a glass bowl.

Thus, you can not only shred write for your child, but also prepare it. The advantages of using this unit are obvious - while you are busy with other things, he will prepare everything and quickly enough. The downsides are that it is rather cumbersome, and it is not easy to wash it. But the alternative is to buy two separate devices instead of one, and this is not very practical.

There is also a variety such as a road blender.These kinds of units are suitable not only for making baby food, but also for those who are constantly on the road and want to stay healthy. They are lightweight, quickly sorted out and have enough power to cook anything.

An immersion blender can also be used as a similar unit, since it is easy to take with you, and it does not take up very much space.

But here it is important to remember that you will need a container where you need to mix all the products and grind them. This is perhaps the only negative of this idea.

Criterias of choice

Everything here is completely dependent on your needs. If you want to use the blender exclusively for baby puree, then the usual mini blender will do for you. If you need to cook for yourself and someone else - for these purposes the immersion model will fit perfectly. In the event that you have a large family, and you plan to cook at all, you can not do without a stationary car. Well, for speed and better functionality, the multi-cooker-blender is the best solution.

But besides these obvious details, there are still some things that you should pay attention to:

  • Power. The more powerful the model, the better it will be able to grind both soft and hard products;
  • How capacious is the bowl. Here, again, it all depends on how many people you plan to cook. The biggest bowls are in the stationary blender or in the multi-cooker blender, and the smallest in the mini-blender;
  • List of products suitable for grinding. Be sure to pay attention to this. A powerful device is more likely to grind all hard fruits, for example, an apple, but it’s better to see for yourself;
  • What nozzles are included in the set. If you plan to cook only baby food, you do not need a large number of additional functions. But the blender can be used in different ways and each nozzle will help prepare a new dish;
  • The material from which the device is made is also very important. Moreover, in the case of kids, it is best to choose a model of metal or glass, as they are more environmentally friendly than plastic. In case you still got a plastic device, be careful that the material does not come into contact with food when cooking.

It is worth remembering that liquid food is intended only for infants and children up to a year. In the subsequent time it is necessary to gradually transfer the baby to solid food.
