You are looking to buy a baby food maker so that you can stop buying store bought food that God knows what can be in it these days! You want to avoid chemicals, sulfites, and any kind of additive and added sugar and preservatives of any kind. This can be a daunting task and gets harder and harder to find good healthy food for us adults let alone our precious babies. So, you are looking at getting a baby food maker. There are many to choose from these days and this like the food issue makes it hard to pick one that is just right. So what do you look for in a machine to make healthy baby food at home with? It isn't always just price, there is more to it than that. So lets take a look at some baby food maker buying tips to help you out.

Tip 1. This is very obvious but I will state it anyway. Where is the unit made? This is important because there has been to much going on in the news this last year or so about products coming in from China with all kinds of health hazards attached to them. Anything from paint that has lead to plastics that are made with harmful chemicals to poison dog food for crying out loud! Always consider where the unit is made!

Tip 2. Is the baby food maker you want going to be manually operated or electric? Will the unit you buy be just a food grinder, blender or mill and then you have to cook the food in something else? That's a lot of stuff to have on your counter top taking up space. The unit I prefer and use is an all in one that steams, blends/grinds, defrosts and cooks the food and has a very small footprint on my counter top.

Tip 3. Will the unit that you want to buy maintain the nutrients of the food you make by keeping the water from the steaming process? The reason for using a baby food maker is so that you can make the healthiest and most nutritious foods for your child. Nutrient retention from the cooking process is very important factor to consider.

Tip 4. The unit you buy should be completely dishwasher safe. All of the parts from the preparation bowl to blades, Period!

Tip 5. The baby food maker you buy should be one hundred percent unbreakable material and should also be BPA free. BPA stands for Bisphenol A. This is a compound that is used in many plastics products today. There is a lot of debate about whether or not small amounts of BPA leach out of the plastics and into the foods we eat. There is also lots of debate as to how much BPA is actually harmful to humans and whether or not BPA is a carcinogen. Well, tell you what! If there is debate and documentation which there is, I will stay away from BPA products. So get a baby food maker that is 100% BPA free!

If you want to feed your baby the healthiest foods and the widest variety of combinations that far exceed that of store bought food and you want total control over the quality of the meals your baby eats then it is time to start making baby food at home with your own baby food maker.

If you are a parent that makes food for your baby at home you are so far ahead of the masses that are still feeding jarred food to their babies. Using a baby food maker to make the food allows you to have absolute control over what your baby eats and this means that they are eating foods that are free from excess/added sugar, salt, fillers and other additives that can affect your child adversely over the long run.

You are using the freshest foods and the best quality produce from your local market. Of course if you want to go totally organic then making natural foods for your baby is a breeze, you just go to your local farmers market or organic grocer and buy your produce. There are times though when your time might be short and in that case you can use fresh frozen vegetables and fruits in your baby food machine as it is quite easy. All you need is a baby food maker that will defrost, steam, blend and then puree' your fruits and vegetables. You can choose to make just what you need at the time, or is if time is not an issue at the moment you can stock up and make a week or two worth of food and store it in your freezer in plastic covered ice cube trays and then transfer the cube sized meals in Ziploc bags.

Remember that using a baby food maker and Babynahrungszubereiter good quality fruits and vegetables and yes even meats and fish you will save money! Homemade food for you baby DOES cost less to make then buying store bought food. Think about this: When you make your own homemade food for your baby, it is the most natural that you can get and if you are concerned with the environment think about all the glass jars that you will not have to recycle! You are actually helping the environment!

Homemade Baby Food Cooking Tips

Most of the foods that you will be making will of course need to either be cooked, baked or steamed. If you are using a baby food maker then when the food is soft you will put it in the machine and add any water used in the cooking to blend until puree'd to the consistency you want and then all of a sudden, presto-chango you have healthy food made at home.

In order to retain the utmost in nutrients and vitamins in the food you are preparing for you baby, steaming is the absolute best way to keep the taste and nutrients in the food. If you don't have a baby food maker that steams then you can boil the foods that you want to make for your child, but much of the vital nutrients can get boiled out of the food this way. Then after boiling you can use a regular counter top blender to puree the food, but now you are taking two steps and taking up a lot of room on your counter top with blenders and pots. An all in one baby food maker is the answer to this problem!

When it comes to pureeing your food for your baby you can use a food processor just as you can use a blender, but then again you are taking two steps to accomplish something you can accomplish in one step. You could also cook your babies food in any way you want and then use a bowl and a hand blender, but that can get messy.
