can this be used to make baby food purees of fruits and vegetables?

I know my daughter uses it all the time to make baby food, she says it works great. That's the only food her baby has had, now 8 months old.

of course it can and will. just watch the amount you put in the blender, it doesn't hold a lot

Yes. For processing raw veggies it takes a little more time, but works great for small batches just fine.

I believe this would work to make puree out of fruits and veggies ... it's just a smaller food processor as opposed to a larger one ...

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.

it works great on soft cooked vegetables and fruit, a blender works better for cooked meats in broth

Don't think it would liquefy rice for baby; however, it works great for mixing. I am using mine for mixing pudding, crushed medication pills, milk for a patient. It makes it into a soup consistency and I love the results.

Doubt it. There are recipes included in the Instruction Manual on how to mince frozen fruit into "ice creams" or sorbets, but we have not tried this. Think you need a blender to do smoothies, as this is a low-speed juicer meant to preserve full nutritional value of fruits and veggies.

I think it would puree rocks. We use frozen fruit and fresh fruit. Carrots, spinach, apples all disappear without chunks.

No that would be better made in a blender or food processor. This product motor is used with the Food Strainer for fruits and vegetable to make sauces and purees.

Yes, - I use mine to make drinks with apple, pineapple, kale, strawberries, spinach, bananas, etc for health drinks, but it is not a juicer, so don't know about raw carrots...cooked carrots, broccoli cooked potatoes - yes - made cream of broccoli. Will do ice, frozen berries, etc. alsoBob/CA

I agree with Robin. Maybe a deeper spoon for soup but these are great for pureed baby food. Highly recommend them as well as the OXO Tot containers for freezing baby food.

No, I don't think so. Are you speaking of sealing jars, like canning, or steaming actual veggies? You could do a quart of carrots to purée easily, or beets, but it is really better for a couple steaming vegetables for dinner.

I am not sure since I never tried anything besides sweet potato and apple purees in these OXO containers. Why not use the special disposable freezer bags from medela for it and thaw it and mix it with solids/purees when you are ready to feed the baby?

Yes, the Pampered Chef Cutting Edge, would make excellent Baby food. The process is very simple, and clean-up is a breeze.

I would think a food mill or a food processor would be the ideal tool for pureeing food for baby.

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. :)

If you pureed the fruit you could(whip out the blender lol). I was out of milk and supplies to make ice cream and made a delicious italian ice with TANG and some fresh oranges put in during the "mix-in" stage. Turned out quite well. I would be concerned about using large chunks of fruit as the motor on the beater isn't over powered.For a nice hard italian ice, i suggest putting it into a container after the ice cream maker is done and freeze it harder. Then scrape from the top with a spoon and enjoy :)

I've only used it to cook fruits and veggies. For meats I would boil on the stove, then use the Cook and Blend to puree.

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