How to choose the perfect food cooker for your baby
Buying a baby food cooker is inevitable in preparation for the arrival of a baby and you absolutely cannot choose it superficially. You have to think of everything! To help you find the perfect food processor, here is a list of criteria to keep in mind:
> The absence of bisphenol A: this chemical molecule which is generally found in plastic food utensils is harmful and harmful to health. Then check the composition of the robots and their accessories.
> Ease of use: the main goal is to make your work easier, not complicate your life. The fewer buttons on the food processor, the easier it will be to use.
> The capacity of the bowl: this is an important criterion. With a large bowl, you can prepare multiple meals for the week and make your job easier.
> The different functions represent a significant advantage. Models with more functions represent a real saving of money and space. This saves you from spending an astronomical sum and taking up additional space in your kitchen.
> Cooking speed: when your baby is hungry, don't hesitate to let you know. So choose a quick cooking robot.
> Accessories: even if this is a plus, it is preferable but not essential that a food processor is equipped with accessories. Easycooks usually come with a spatula, yoghurt pots or a steamer basket.
> The number of bowls: if an appliance is sold with several bowls, different preparations can be made one after the other.
> Ease of maintenance: having a high-performance food processor is fine, but you still need to be able to clean it easily. It is important to check whether the accessories, including the bowls, are dishwasher safe and whether it is easy to reach the water tank for descaling.
> The price: an expensive product is not always a guarantee of better quality.
> Opinions: Before proceeding with the purchase of this device, remember to check the opinions of other parents. This will save you from unpleasant surprises.
The market for childcare devices is constantly evolving and the competition between brands has never been so fierce, however only a few manage to truly stand out. Among these we find Philips with its Philips Avent model, Béaba with its Solo and Neo Night models, Chicco with the Easy Meal model and Sweety Fox
How to maintain your food cooker?It is important that maintenance is done immediately after the child's meal is prepared. In fact, foods like carrots or beets tend to color the sides of the bowl. But watch out for the robot blades! Even when turned off, the easycooks remain very sharp. Usually everything goes in the dishwasher but if you have the option to wash the equipment by hand, go for it so the device can last longer. As for the descaling of the water tank, you only need water and white vinegar.
What accessories to buy for an easycook?Some models may not be sold with accessories, but just in case here is a short list of the essentials to have when buying a baby food processor: bottle, bib, yogurt pots, bowls, bowl lid, spatula, basket for steaming and plastic cutlery.
