Babycook is very nice and convenient however it has a little problem. It's a PULSE action blender. If you blend for a little longer than 10 seconds the motor stops working and you end up with steaming action only. You have to be cautios about that.

I originally purchased this from Williams-Sonoma before it was available on Baby Earth. It's super easy to use. All you do is pour water into the basket (that has convenient measuring level on the side that you follow per the instruction booklet), pour the measured water into the steam compartment, attach the bowl with steam basket full of food, twist on the lid, and steam! Once you're done steaming, you just puree your baby's food according to the consistency they can handle and you're done!

The design of the Babycook is perfect for baby food. I originally tried to use my food processor, but the design of the Babycook is superior because the blade isn't held in place by a center column that protrudes from the bowl. This means that the bowl of the Babycook has more room for the food and it's a cinch to clean (way easier than my food processor). It's also really quiet compared to my food processor, so baby doesn't wake up during her nap while I prepare food.

Another superior design element is the shape and direction of the blades. This purees the food much better than my food processer does because the design of the blades sucks the non-pureed food down the center and thru the blades.

The all-in-one design of the Babycook is great, too. The only thing you have to clean is the bowl and the steam basket, which is dishwasher safe. The blades detach very easily, and they include an extra washer for the blades in the event you lose one or yours wears out.

The Beaba Babycook is great for reheating baby's food, too. Just stick her frozen food in the steam basket and steam!

The Babycook comes with an instruction booklet and a little recipe book. I bought several recipe books, though, in addition to the one included because the recipe book that comes with the Babycook is pretty small and limited.

I highly recommend the Babycook for those parents who, like me, want to make their child's food without buying it from the store. If you want to see a demonstration of it, go to the Williams-Sonoma website and look it up there. There should be a demonstration that shows you how easy it is to work the Beaba Babycook. (But be sure to buy it from Baby Earth!) :)

I am very pleased with this baby food processor, it is very compact,which is a great space wise. It is also very easy to use...it just takes a few minutes playing with it to get it just right. I cooked several baby food recipes the next day, and it was so rewarding! All steamed cooked and blended on the only one appliance..so easy to clean up afterwards, and the food so fresh and ready to be frozen or enjoyed. A bit expensive it is true, but it's worth it if cooking ALL your baby food is your goal. It just makes the task a it easier.

WOW1 I wish I had done this before! this time around, with my third and last child, I decided to make my own baby foods at home, in an effort to be healthier and more earth friendly,and give my child the best food possibly available. Well, the Beaba Baby Cook makes this SO MUCH EASIER! it is compact, great for small spaces, not bulky at all. Just the right size to cook baby portions. It is convenient and easy to clean. It is just convenient ALL IN ONE kind of thing. I know you can still make baby foods in many ways using pots and a blender, or a steamer and a food processor, but with this is just one appliance and easy to wash afterwards.

I am interested in making baby food for my daughter because I can control the ingredients. The babycook is a wonderful product - it steams the food and blends it all in one. It's less time consuming and create a lot less mess. The only drawback is that the unit is small (that's why I couldn't give it a great rating). I usually end up having to make about 3 batches to make enough food for the week, and my daughter is just starting on solids.
