is it possible to make baby food with it with no adding any liquid?

I always add a little liquid, unless the food is already very liquid, squash, or something like that. Meat or chicken definitely will need liquid, but the results are excellent. I highly recommend it. I make chicken liver pate for adults in it, everyone loves it, I need to add liquid to that.

Well, I find that without liquid the contents doesn't mix well. I can't say for sure, but I think you would need to add a bit of liquid.

All of my children were raised eating the same as everyone. I had a Cuisinart and chopped it together, adding liquid as needed. They were all good eaters.

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?

No, but you do need to mix it with canned, moist food. It sort of disintegrates into the food as you mix it in.

You can add it to food or formula (probably not too hot since that might deactivate the active ingredients); I feed it to my baby directly by dropping it on my fingertip!

I had been mixing this in with pureed or mashed food for my 8 month old baby for a couple of months before I read that only liquids were recommended for mixing. I just called the company and a customer rep told me that it was no problem to mix in with food. Obviously if your baby is not eating food yet this doesn't help, but thought I'd put it out there. I also did not have any issues mixing it with breast milk when he was younger.

Yes. You will need some kind of liquid. Not much. I use a small amount of olive oil.

It does not mix so you would need to stir afterwards. We have twins so this machine was a life saver. We've saved so much time and can make formula whenever it is needed.

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 don't think it would be advisable as there are no provisions for food "drippings".

You can microwave it withOut the top. This is an excellent pouring pitcher for kids.

Yes, but I found that putting it in an old baby food jar works wonders! Try it out! Also, I would find a place that gets good air circulation and put it there if it isn't too obtrusive.

Never tried the blender without any liquids in it... I would suggest not to operate it while its empty. Try filling in half of the liquids and soft food and see if it works..

I doubt it. They are so quick to make that I wouldn't bother even attempting it. Just boil water and butter. Add potatoes and milk. Let sit 10 seconds.

Yes, you can make ice cream in this unit without eggs. The unit comes with a recipe book that includes the recipe for eggless ice cream.

Yes you can. Pour milk in whatever size container you want to use and then add starter after hearing it up on stove. I would make as much as I could as I eat it with fruit and cook with it too.

Yea we had the same problem. I think there's a problem with the seal, so it won't steam. We just returned it and gave up on it. If you've got a pressure cooker or even just a steamer + a blender you can make your own without baby food without this overpriced piece of defective garbage.

Yes- just put in small amounts at a time, preferably cooked. If you put in too much, it is harder to make it super smooth. This will make it as fine as jarred baby food.
