Baby Food Grinders Information and Reviews of Baby Food Grinders

This system is the best for making fresh baby food at home!

The book uses chapters to show you which foods to introduce at the appropriate ages. The first chapter is first foods, and features easily-digestible foods like acorn squash and pears. As the book progresses with the baby’s age, the food variety increases to include things like asparagus and black beans. The final chapters introduce berries and nuts for babies over 12 months. There is no meat in the system, but they do have tofu.

The book tells you exactly how many of a fruit or veggie to buy, what to look for in selecting fresh produce, and step-by-step instructions on how to clean, peel, cook and puree the food for your baby. It is an excellent guide, even for the novice shopper/food preparer. It doesn’t miss a step!

They also make suggestions on which spices can be added to the food while cooking for flavor variety. For instance, they tell you how much cinnamon to add to your cooking apples to get delicious cinnamon applesauce. This makes for delicious taste-tempters like vanilla pears and ginger yams that babies can’t resist!

To add even more variety to your baby’s diet, the book suggests “medleys” which are combinations of foods that go well together. Once you have introduced both foods separately, you can create a medley for an interesting variation.

Major pros of this system:
1 – Save money! Buying fresh produce in season and making your own baby food from it is sooooo much cheaper than buying all of those little jars.
2 – Baby is healthier! Commercial jarred baby foods contain fillers that have no nutritional value. They also can contain pesticides and preservatives. I don’t want my baby eating any of that!
3 – Food tastes better! Have you ever tried jarred baby food? Blech! It doesn’t taste anything like the food it’s supposed to be! No wonder baby spits it out – I would too. The pureed foods from this system are fresh and tasty, and baby will love them. An excerpt from the front of the book: “Did you know that baby food could be up to three years old when you buy it on the grocery store shelf?” Sorry, but I don’t want my baby eating anything older than him.

I adored this system when my son started eating solid food, and I still use it today to create healthy fresh side dishes for him and the rest of the family. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to make their own baby food – it’s the best!

I like the layout of the book and the suggestions of combining different food together and what age is appropriate for the combination. The green tabs that divided the age sections are also very helpful.

This book only shows how to cook food using a microwave and nothing else. That’s why I gave a 4 stars. The trays are easy to use and easy to pop the cubes out. The note that comes with the trays suggests that the trays to be washed by hands and not by the dishwasher to avoid warping. I’ve been washing them by hands and don’t see any warping at this point.

I also purchased “The Petit Appetit Cookbook: Easy, Organic Recipes to Nurture Your Baby and Toddler” by Lisa Barnes. This one has instructions for steaming, or using a microwave, or sometimes using the ovens. I like the ideas of have alternatives.

This is an excellent kit. I bought one for myself and was able to make baby food while working full time and being pregnant. It really takes no time at all, it is much cheapier then buying baby food and you are open to a wide range of foods to introduce your baby to. I now by this for all my baby shower gifts!

A little to much microwave
While I love the food trays, mine got stained from carrots the first time I used them. If you are looking for a baby food cookbook, keep looking!
