Know what made weaning my youngest onto solids a whole lot easier? Enter the Pigeon Home Baby Food Maker – a teeny food processor that takes the mess out of mashing.
This nifty gadget is suited to every stage of the weaning process:
1. It has a wooden grinder (like a pestle) for mashing food. The mortar has ingenious ridges that prevent residue from sticking, so the amount you put in is what you get out – deal for preparing freshly ground purées.
2. A grating plate takes care of cheese, raw fruit and veg.
3. Pressing fresh fruit juice is a doddle with the squeezer.
4. The strainer’s fine mesh helps make soft food super-soft and liquids floater-free – bye-bye pips!
Previously a complete purée junky – I would set aside an entire day to laboriously cook, liquidise and freeze number one’s first foods – now I’m a smasher-masher convert. With this little number you can purée fresh food in a jiffy, get rid of the veggies in your ice-tray and add an avenue of space to your freezer (yeeha!).
The deal breaker? Small and compact the Pigeon Home Baby Food Maker is easy to store and great to travel with (nice!). It’s a unique all-in-one food processor that definitely gets my stamp of approval.
I got ours from Baby City.
