Recommend a Blender.....

[penguin77]

I know it's too early for me to start but i'm thinking of getting everything ready so that i'm prepared for when we start weaning.

So.....can you recommend any blenders?
Is it worth getting the Avent Solid Food starter set or not?

Any tips would be appreciated.

We already had one of those little hand ones and have used that. We already don't need to blend and it was perfectly adequate so I'm glad we didn't buy a more expensive one.

I just use a hand held blender and it does the job fine !

we use the magic bullet. But DH hates making it ourselves so we'll probably end up buying jars

I bought a baby prestige one which is ok but now I have a braun hand blender which is ideal for making baby meals and for me blending other stuff so I'd say a hand one would do the trick.The specific baby blenders are ok but with a hand blender you can't go wrong.Hope that helps:0)

I would shop around as the ones specifically aimed at "baby weaning" etc are gonna be considerably more expensive than others


A hand blender will be just fine usually but if you only have a small amount then you may struggle.

I have a Braun Multiquick hand blender/chopper set thingy. Was looking for a link for you and they sell this too wow...bargain and you can use this for other cooking too

We also just use the hand blender. We have a cuisinart stainless steel one, which I like because I can sterilize it.
I prefer less clutter and expense, so anything that I can use for baby and have other uses for is preferred!

We just use a Braun hand blender too. Does the job beautifully, and can use it for our food as well.

Don't you know that pureed food is THE latest gourmet craze Hevz?

Thanks for your replies..definitely helped in saving me some money.

So have bought a half decent Philips hand blender for £17 instead of the £35 dedicated weaning one. This one we can use for our stuff too.....to save on the chewing

Thanks again

i asked the same question months ago hon! i found that any hand blender was great, and i also found that one of the blenders with the lids on works really well as well, as i kept getting covered in food using the hand blender

we have a glass one from sainsburys but i would recommend anything like this, and you can make up big batches too

- i wish we'd got plastic though as i'm not a fan of glass xx
