What there is to know
Food processors for babies all offer steam cooking to retain the flavors, nutrients and vitamins of cooked foods: vegetables, fruits, grains and meat. What changes, depending on the model, however, is the possible capacity of the food to be cooked and whether or not to switch from one bowl to another between the cooking and blending stages. Other elements must be taken into account, such as the possibility or not of recovering the cooking juice to adapt the texture of the preparation and that of cooking frozen food or not. In all cases, it is good practice to cut the ingredients into small pieces to make cooking easier.
What if we buy it second-hand?
The right reflex is to check that the closures are properly sealed and that there are no breaches in the food processor bowl (s) to ensure airtight cooking with steam. You can then pay attention to the proper maintenance of the appliance: is there limescale in the water compartment and what is the condition of the blender blade? Note that some robots come with accessories – storage jar, recipe book – so there is a risk that they will not be given away when reselling. Finally, choose a brand that provides good after-sales service and offers the purchase of replacement parts to have support in the event of a problem.
