How to choose a baby food processor? The difference between a baby food processor and a juicer

The food processor is a machine that helps mothers add complementary food to their babies after four months of age. Breast milk alone cannot meet the nutritional needs of babies. Complementary food is very important for growing children and lays the foundation for their lifelong health.

1. Work form

In terms of the working mode of baby food processors, there are generally two types: manual and electric. Manual ones generally do not pose any safety risks, as long as they are placed in a place where the baby cannot easily reach them. For electric products, pay attention to functions such as waterproofing, overheating protection, and safe power-off.

2. Product material

No matter what product it is, the material must be carefully considered. When choosing a food processor, many are made of plastic. So when choosing, we should pay attention to whether it is made of food-grade plastic and whether it will have adverse effects on the human body.

3. Cleaning and stirring

Some baby food processors have an automatic cleaning function. If not, you need to observe whether the filter, blades and other parts of the product are convenient and clean. In addition, it is also important whether the mixing function of the processor is powerful and delicate enough to promote the baby's digestion and absorption.

1. Juicers can also be used in baby feeding, such as making some vegetable and fruit juice. However, if you want to make complementary foods such as rice paste and meat paste, the effect of a juicer is not very good.

2. At this time, using a food processor can grind the food more finely and evenly. The food processor can also directly heat the food with steam, take it out and put it at the right temperature, and then you can feed it to your baby, which is more convenient and quick.

Complementary food is a complete and balanced nutrition, which is very important for growing children, especially the nutrition given at the age of 0, which lays the foundation for the baby's lifelong health. Many mothers may not have much time to take care of their babies, and even less time to make complementary food for their babies. At this time, a complementary food processor can help mothers quickly prepare complementary food for their babies. It is still necessary to buy a complementary food processor. In the infant stage, breast milk is of course the most ideal food for babies, but as the baby grows up day by day, starting from about four months, breast milk or infant formula alone can no longer meet the baby's nutritional needs. Therefore, during this period, in addition to the original breast milk or infant formula, the baby should also be given some solid objects, which is what we call complementary food. Complementary food includes rice noodles, mud lake-like food and some other homemade foods. The complementary food processor can show its skills in making liquid food and muddy food according to the different needs of the baby.

With the development of technology, the use of baby food processors has become more and more automated and easy to operate. Let's take the example of making broccoli puree to explain the use of baby food processors.

1. Pour a little water into the left heating area. (The cup has scales 1, 2, 3. Today, I am making broccoli puree, so 1 is enough.)

2. There is an inner cup during steaming, which can raise the ingredients during steaming and reduce nutrient loss.

3. Put the lid on the cup, put the machine on and align it, then turn the switch to "steam". It takes about 5 minutes for 1 volume of water. During this time, you can do other things very conveniently without worrying about the heat.

4. Remove the vegetables from the inner cup and place them into the processing cup for grinding.

5. Open the lid of the cup and the broccoli puree will appear.
