Is the hand blender working for making meat pur&eacute;e? I want it to make baby food.

When I bought this I was really happy with it. Not anymore. Within 3 months the blade was dull, and the release mechanism would no longer release. I also thought to use this for baby food and it did not puree finely, even from the beginning. I have actually given up on Cuisinart all together because the consistant bad quality of products, they just do not last long. For this money you should get a food processor, which I did end up getting and I am so happy with it. I have the Black and decker my sister has a more expensive Kitchen aide model and they are both fabulous for your need.

I think it would work great for baby food. I made applesauce that was the perfect consistency. It comes with 3 blades so you can control the thickness of food you put through it. I also use it for soups and sauces.

I have only used it to make smoothies, but it is fantastic. I think it would work well for baby food; maybe in larger quantities than single serving however.

Absolutely it can be used for baby food. It's one of my favorite kitchen tools. It has different sizes and the smallest pulls every seed and peel out of every thing. I love this tool. Very smooth.

I apologize for taking so long to answer, but yes. I can make smoothies and pesto from the two blender containers that came with mine.

It's not a power blender. It will blend fruit and soft veggies. It is perfect for making protein shakes and smoothies and it is really easy to clean.

I think this blender is not good enough for fine purees. If you need fine purees then go for another one. Cheers !

No. it is a chopper. Go buy a personal sized blender (for smaller portions) or use a decent food processor (if you make a lot at a time). The blender made by Tribest is great, but a little pricy. I use it all of the time for smoothies, pureeing tomatoes, and baby food. I would definitely get the larger containers too

It is not a blender or mixer in the same respect as the kitchen appliances. This mixer is only for liquids. You can scramble raw eggs in it, protein drinks, lemonaid etc. Lighter liquids; for instance you cant make an Ice cream shake in it; the ice cream is too thick, or you cant put in fresh fruit and expect it to blend or chop it up. Keep to the lighter liquids and its just great.The

The one that I had quit working after using it 3 batches!! I sent it back and used my food processor. You could use a blender to! I just steamed the veggies and stuff in a pot on the stove and blended them up works great!

Probably not. It is not the intended use. The blender is for soft fruits and veggies.

Hi! I just purchased this "chopper" to primarily make my own baby food for my 8 month old. Most reviews said it would puree soft foods so I figured I would give it a try dispite the post left here. I haven't actually tried it yet so my actual review will come later, but I did want to quickly correct the error given by Chris. In reading the instructions, (always a good thing to do! =) ) it actually has tips on using this "chopper" for making homemade pureed babyfood!!! It says it can process cooked meat/poultry, cooked veggies, & cooked or raw fruits!! It says to add a little gravy,milk, or broth to make the consistancy you need/want. So sounds like it will do just fine for making baby food! I Will write a complete user review once I actually use it.

I have never used my processor to make baby food but I am sure it would work. I have chopped nut and dried fruit without any problems.

No. It's a blender. I use it to mixcake mixes, make smoothies, blend gravy, soups, etc.I also use it to make fruit and vegetable purees.

I would expect it would but I've never made baby food. I've used it to puree garbonzo beans (chickpeas) to make hummus and cooked chicken livers to puree for pate. There are two speeds and a pulse mode that should make short work of just about anything you can throw at it.

I think you should be able to get it pretty fine if you use enough water and do it for long enough. Also might depend on what you are pureeing, and how soft it is when you put it in. I precooked all of my baby food so it was fairly soft, then put it in the blender. I sometimes also had to shake or stir it during the process, to move the chunks around closer to the blades. I had success even with rotisserie chicken, making it smooth. But you definitely have to add water.

Yes!Worked pretty well for me, although the Blender is on smoke less then a month in use (did not use for heavy duty).
