Baby Food Mill Grinder

Love this food mill. We use it for the pureed food needed for a G-tube diet. It would also be perfect for baby food.We have also used the Cuisinart mini chopper, the small size stainless old-fashioned food mill, the Magic Bullet, and the Munchkin food mill.My assessments:1. Cuisinart mini chopper: great for bigger tasks and for pureeing larger amounts to a smooth consistency2. Small Stainless old-fashioned food mill: does a great job, but too much food loss and trouble for small servings3. Magic Bullet: does not do small (1/4-1/2 cup) servings well. Things get stuck to the sides and it doesn't puree them4. Munchkin food mill: lighter-weight than the Kidalog, blade pops out more easily ending up in a big mess, blades don't grind things like chicken and fish well. The Kidalog grinds a variety of foods more easily.The Kidalog is the best when comparing the Munchkin to the Kidalog food mills because:The Kidalog is sturdier, has a wider more stable base; it does not leak; the center grinding disk stays in place well while grinding (Only turn crank Clockwise, as with the Munchkin, if you turn the crank the other direction, the grinding disk will be released ending up in a mess); he blade works better than the Munchkin ( I can't figure out why, but it works better); the Kidalog has a clear cover than can be placed on top as you grind which is usefulfor things that might squirt like blueberries.Easy to clean, no spots where food gets stuck.Suggestions:Gently press down on the base while you grind, allowing the blades to do the work especially on meats or items that are tougher. (This was a good suggestion from another reviewer). Just stick to cranking Clockwise and all will work well.Takes a few more days to receive from Canada, but it is worth the wait! I was impatient and bought the Munchkin first.

Having 2 babies, I'm super busy and almost never have time to write reviews anymore, but I wanted to take time to review this food mill because my husband and I love it so much! We had a cheap one that broke after our first baby , so I decided to spend a little more this time and this one had gotten good reviews. We started our baby on solids at about 5 months. At first we just used it to mash soft fruit or little blends like banana and avocado. It was great for that. Now that our baby is 8 months old, we put virtually everything we're eating in it and grind it up for him. I'm not kidding- tonight I put black beans, avocado, pico de Gallo, and some quesadilla in it and gave him that. There are so many baby things you don't need, and so many things you only end up using once or twice, but my husband and I agreed that this was one of the most valuable things we got for him. We use it 3 times a day! Worth every penny!

Kidalog Baby Food Mill Grinder ... is a super easy grinder to use for most fruits and cooked vegetables, except grapes whose skins get clogged up in the grinder. AND I would not expect this grinder able to do that either for the price. The reason I gave this grinder only 4 stars instead of 5, Is would like to have a suction cup on the bottom or something to anchor it to the table where I am feed my grand daughter. That would also make the grinding easier and more stationary. So, only 4 stars..., So, hopefully in the future this company will add a suction cup to the bottom or something to anchor it to the table, when feeding my grand daughter. When I had my kids back in the 1980s, the baby grinder that I used was much like this grinder, BUT it had the suction cup. So, I'm not sure what happened over and why the Suction Cup was left off. Perhaps they are are not the same manufacture and that's the difference. Great Product, but only 4 stars. Give may suction cup to make the grinder stationary, then I will give 5 stars.

If you are looking for an infant food mill.... don't look anymore and just buy this now! After buying and returning MANY infant food mills, including fancy $150.00 automatic blenders.... I have found this one to be by far the best. It was sold out for a while but I waited a couple of months for it to come back and bought it right away. I would recommend this to any mom who wants to make their own baby food.Pros:Easy to use, Easy to clean, comes with a splash guard so no mess, easily grinds fruits with skins like blueberries and meat like cooked chicken, small enough to carry around everywhere, simple smart design.Cons:Not great for very large batches (if you are making a ton of something to freeze), shipping is expensive but makes sense because it's coming from Canada.

This baby food mill is more expensive than the standard ones, and it has metal pieces, but I don't think it does a better job and there are a lot of pieces to it that can easily get lost making the whole thing unusable. In addition, the fine mesh strainer for early baby food is very difficult to clean. The first time I used it was for banana and you could see the banana even after several attempts to hand clean it and clean it in the dishwasher. In addition, because it is shipped from Canada, it took a very long time to get here. If I had to do it over again, I would get the other popular baby food mill instead.

Very cheaply made. Blade was very hard to get into place and don’t stay. The handle is very wobbly. The plastic where the ground food goes is really scratched, looks like it’s been used before. Then if you want to return for a refund it will cost you $17.00 to return it. Don’t waste your time with this product, very disappointing. I had one 30 years ago, the handle was sturdy, the blade was easy to put into place and the blade didn’t keep popping out.
