Freshfoods Cook-n-Blend Baby Food Maker Recipe Book with Apple and Pear

What better time is there to introduce your children to wholesome foods than during their infancy?

Navigating the grocery store aisles is becoming more and more difficult.  As new studies come to light, there are increasing concerns with chemicals, contaminants, and overall health properties of what’s on the shelf.  For these reasons, and many others including the impact of our buying power on the eco-system, Rural Mom supports sustainable living practices and wholesome food options like those the Freshfoods™ Cook –n–Blend Baby Food Maker offers.

It’s incredible how easy NUK has made making fresh baby food purees and tasty toddler foods.  In under 20 minutes, from cut to cook time, I had two heaping servings of Apple & Pear Puree ready to let cool for feeding, or to store for use later.

The fresh, pure taste is difficult to convey adequately through text and pictures, but it certainly is amazing!  I can applesauce regularly, but nothing compares to a serving  mixed fresh, with no sugar needed as the flavor and sweetness of the fruit shines through.  The juice leftover from the steaming process was also a nice treat – so no waste!

Another feature I love is that you can not only be assured your child is eating fresh, healthy food selections, but also save money in the process.  It’s far more economical to grow your own ingredients or purchase fresh produce from the farmers market, then turn them into fabulous meals for your little one.

Here’s a quick demo of the process for making the Apple & Pear Puree recipe

The Freshfoods Cook –n–Blend Baby Food Maker features include:

  • Steam cooking which helps preserve vitamins
  • Ability to cook and blend food using the same bowl
  • Double flavor baskets to help preserve distinct flavors
  • Large capacity bowl that allows preparation of up to four meals in advance
  • Double blending functions to create smooth or chunky food textures
  • Spatula and spatula storage hook
  • Special smoothie blade and smoothie functions
  • Capacity to cook, reheat, and defrost foods
On top of all this goodness, it’s super easy to clean and the removable parts are dishwasher safe (recommend top shelf.)
The unit steam cooks most fruits and vegetables and even fish and meats. A simple batch of applesauce takes about 14 minutes and the highest cooking times come in at only 17 minutes, making it feasible to get a few days or even a week’s worth of cooking finished in an afternoon.
I always share drawbacks with products, but really could not find one with the Freshfoods Cook-n-Blend Baby Food Maker, other than, perhaps, that I’d love to have a larger version or multiple units to make several batches of fresh applesauce mixtures for dinner guests!  This machine is certainly capable of making purees and smoothies satisfying for adults, too.

    I used Nuk products when my kids were young. I didn’t make their own baby food but if I had this I certainly would have!

    When I make my omelette I always finish cooking the top under the broiler, so make sure your pan does
    not have a plastic handle that will melt. This way you do not overcook the bottom of
    the omelette. The omelettes come out great every time.
