Has anyone used this for baby food? My little guy is just starting on solids and I want to be able to freeze in very small quantities.

No doubt that this would be as good or better than an normal ice cube tray for freezing baby food.

I use it for baby food and it works very well. The silicon lid helps to smooth and even out the cubes. Plus you stack them and put them in the freezer at any angle and not worry about loosing anything. It takes about 3 cubes to make 2 oz. I hope this helps.

While I've never had a baby, I have plenty of friends who make theirown baby food. I think this would be an excellent way to freeze verysmall portions.

I use these for sauces which would be similar to baby food. I freeze portions and then put them in ziplock freezer bags.

Yes. I bought several different ice cube trays for baby food, and I'm coming back to buy more of these. Very easy to fill the tray and remove the cubes. If you fill each container to the *very* top, each cube is one oz.

I haven't used it for breast milk as I use the storage bags. I would probably suggest using it to freeze the milk then transfer the cubes into an airtight container. I wouldn't use for long term because they don't have an airtight seal. Hope that helps!

I've only used it for pureed food so far. I wouldn't use it for breastmilk since the lid doesn't close air tight and some frost will get into the container.

simple ice trays and btw it doesn't work too well either, it takes forever for anything to freeze completely..we have ice pops for the kids that I put in about a week ago and they are still not frozen.

I was researching this blender to make baby food as well. Did you purchase this model? If so, how is it working for you?

I have not done that yet. You may want to try it first. I do use these a lot, I just never froze them. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

I use 2 in my kids lunches and they are not frozen when i get them home. So i would say only if you use several of them and def not for anything frozen! The thicker ones are a safer bet. It probably also depends on the lunch box.

I am sorry I don't know about baby food, but I use it on all sorts of fruits & it purees everything so I would imagine if you are using vegtables it would probably do the same.

Yes, I freeze food for my kids in them. None of mine have cracked. The kids are hard to take off immediately out of the freezer. But after a couple of minutes out of the freezer its fine.

Yes, I froze it all the time, in small servings. It does mess with the consistency a bit; I was blending it in smoothies and it wasn't a problem.

I have frozen a few items in them and they worked okay. Just make sure you get them to room temperature before you try to remove the lid to prevent cracking. The only way they will "reduce" freezer burn is if you fill them to capacity so that there is no air remaining between the food and the lid.

No, I don't think that will work. Baby food is usually much softer than what works best with this chopper. It works well with firm textures like garlic, onion, other firm vegetables and most nuts. I think you need a small food processor which is also available on Amazon. Hope this helps. :)

Look at the directions on the package. If not Google info regarding your question. I am sorry but my answer was not very helpful. I use it only frozen. Awesome product. Make sure you Google (hopefully someone responds in this forum) and get an answer otherwise you can easily ruin it .

To start I am No expert. I've used this pectin across the board as a thickening agent in many odd recipes and projects. I don't see why freezer jam would be an issue along as the prep and proper absorption is followed.

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.

0.66 (or 20ml) using water to fill level with the top. I wouldn't recomend filling that far. When baking brownies/cakes I "fill" with 10ml. I can freeze about 15ml (1/2 OZ) of baby food or juice without making a huge mess.

I purchased it for a single purpose use, to make soap, so I don't know about ice or other solid food use. Maybe another purchaser will have the answer.
