Vitamix, which is called Little V by Jianghu housewives, is expensive, and the price of Haitao is around 4,000. If you buy 3c certified products in China, the price is more expensive. It is a kitchen cooking machine that housewives of kitchen enthusiast level are very keen to play. Its power is high, and its beating function is an advantage. It can break all the ice cubes into pieces, not to mention the baby food supplement.
Not to mention its other functions, only from the perspective of baby complementary food production. If you already have this at home, don't buy anything else, otherwise it's really a waste. However, if you just want to be a baby food supplement and choose it, it is unnecessary, which means a little cannon to kill mosquitoes.
Advantages: Xiao V can really make cooked vegetables and meat very delicate. And after the children don't eat complementary food, this thing can stay in the kitchen to do other things.
Disadvantages: the power is high, so the noise is also high when working. The price is not cheap. It would be a waste if it was only used as a baby food supplement. In addition, if you are a baby food supplement, the amount of food you can't put is too small, otherwise the beating will not be sufficient.
2) Baby food supplement machine
Baby complementary food machine is a steaming machine, which is undoubtedly more convenient for mothers who make complementary food for their children.
In the past two years, there are two brands of complementary food machines that mothers admire most: 1 avent, the price is around 800, and 2 is beaba, the price is around 1300. I will write a detailed comparison about the use of these two complementary food machines. )
Advantages: Just cut the food into pieces, steam it, and then mash it. The dishes and minced meat are very delicate, and the noise is not as big as that of a small V. They are only for babies, and you don't have to mix kitchen utensils with your family (in fact, there is nothing wrong with mixing them, which is not melodramatic). You need a certain amount of food to work properly. In short, if you want your baby to take a bite, you can never take a bite.
Disadvantages: children don't eat delicate mud food for a long time. If you don't buy baby's vegetable puree and meat, and don't eat it at all, there is a great possibility that you will buy brand baby canned fruit puree, meat puree and vegetable puree instead, then the baby food supplement machine can almost be said to be idle. Even if you do it yourself, when the baby is out of the stage of eating mud, the food supplement machine is of little use. Unless you have relatives and friends who can continue to use it, you can create brilliant achievements again.
3) Electric steamer
For baby food supplement, if you don't need a steamer, use other tools. Some vegetables need to be steamed. It is ok to have an ordinary steamer at home, but I think it will be very convenient to have an electric steamer, because you just need to pour water into it and set the time. If you cook on an open fire when you are with your children, you will be in trouble if you forget the time.
I have bought this electric steamer for many years. This is a very old model. I don't think I can buy it anymore. You can buy any brand, as long as it is an electric steamer. To tell the truth, this thing has no technical content, just buy a price that you can accept. When cooking complementary food for children, in addition to steaming vegetables, you should also heat the mashed vegetables (if you don't eat or cook now, there are frozen or refrigerated complementary foods). When children grow up, they can make custard, steamed eggs, hot rice and pasta. Of course, they can be used by the whole family.
Advantages: kitchen tools that can be used by the whole family are very convenient for heating food, and there is no need to open an open flame. It has a timing function, so even if the child forgets the time, there will be no problem. The price is not expensive either. Oh, by the way, it can also be used to sterilize milk bottles or something.
Disadvantages: Use pure water to steam things, or water and alkali on the bottom heater will easily appear. If you use it frequently, it will take at least 1 month to clean it.
4) Cooking stick
If you have an electric steamer at home and don't want to buy a complementary food machine, then a cooking stick is also a good tool for making complementary food for your baby. After the vegetables and meat are cooked, it is also very delicate to beat them with a stir-fry stick. There are many brands of cooking sticks, and the price ranges from 100 to 2000. You need to choose according to your purchasing power. Cooking sticks with different prices naturally have different differences, such as material, fineness, shape, noise and convenience.
Advantages: when making baby complementary food, the demand for raw materials is less than that of complementary food machine, but you can't make a small bite. Anything that needs stirring needs to be measured. Easier to clean. After children don't eat complementary food, they can also work in the kitchen with a cooking stick.
Disadvantages: The function is similar to other mixers. If there is anything else, there is no need to start over.
5) baby grinder
This set is a must-have item for many mothers in recent years. The price is not expensive, about 100 yuan. It is a set of hand tools integrating rolling, grinding, sieving and juicing.
When cooking complementary food, it is not as fast and exquisite as using electrical appliances, but the price is much cheaper than electrical appliances. For the baby who just added complementary food, the fineness of food processing with this pulverizer may not reach, and the mother will work harder. When the child is older and doesn't need to eat too delicate food, use ok.
Advantages: exquisite, tasteless, easy to store and relatively cheap.
Disadvantages: not suitable for babies who have just added complementary food. The delicious food can't be compared with blender, food supplement machine and cooking stick. In addition, it will be harder to make a mother by hand. Wooden sticks may be easy to get moldy in the humid environment in the south (I mean, it is possible)
6) Complementary grinding bowl
This bowl mill is also a must for many families, around 70 yuan. Like the meat grinder above, the chopped vegetables and meat are not as fine as the electrical appliances. It is more suitable for older children to make complementary food, and it is relatively convenient to wash.
Advantages: the material is thick, tasteless, easy to store and relatively cheap. Personally, I think it is much better than the above set of pulverizers in terms of the convenience of grinding into mud.
Disadvantages: it is not suitable for babies who have just added complementary food. The delicious food is unmatched by electrical appliances and is suitable for older babies. There are horizontal stripes in the bowl to facilitate rolling, but attention should be paid to cleaning, and it is best to match a toothbrush without food residue.
These things are tools that complementary food mothers already have or intend to start with, and they have a good reputation at present. The purpose of writing them is to let mothers know about these tools. In addition, please be sure to look at the following three suggestions:
1) Choose complementary food tools according to your own conditions. What do you mean by conditions? Your home storage space, existing equipment, budget and time.
2) Do your relatives and friends have a second-hand food supplement machine or a cooking stick for you? If so, it is acceptable, because children don't eat exquisite food for a long time. If they can be used for relay, it will not cause waste of economy and space. Of course, you can also buy it and give it to other new mothers after use.
3) Communicate with other mothers. Everyone has his own experience in raising children, but every child is very different. Learn more and compare more. Their experience will be very helpful to your choice.
