Babycook Baby Food Maker

Wish I could return this but we've used it and my baby ripped the recipe book it came with. I had big hopes to be making lots of homemade foods for my baby with this highly rated and highly recommended Beaba Babycook but it's just not that good. The blades of the processor aren't even sharp--barely chops up soft, steamed veggies and because the bottom of the container is flat, leaves big chunks unless you stop and stir like every 10 seconds. It takes FOREVER to get a smoother consistency and even then I don't trust it enough to not strain through a sieve to catch bigger pieces. No, the strainer in the cover does not help, especially if you have a thicker puree. The steamer is fine, and I really liked the idea of not having to steam and then puree in two different appliances, but at this point I end up using just as many dishes trying to get the consistency and smoothness I want. I sometimes even have to steam some items twice to get it soft enough, even with longest steaming cycle. Wish I had spent $80 on a nice food processor instead, at least then we could use it post baby food stage. It is pretty, but other than that, pretty useless. Not worth the money, don't believe the hype!
