What to look for when buying a baby food blender
Price – baby food blenders can be found at all different price ranges. There are some cheaper ones which simply just blend, or you can spend a bit more and get a machine that blends, steams, defrosts and reheats. These, although more expensive may actually end up being better value as you will not need to find alternatives to perform these different functions.
Functions — as just mentioned, different machines have different functions. The basic function is blending and grinding. However, you can also get machines that steam, defrosts and reheats too. It's important to know what you want to use it for as you may be able to save money if you only need it to blend.
Size — kitchen space is sometimes very limited. Therefore, it's important to know how much space the blender will take up and whether you have the room to easily store it. It's also great to know whether it's small enough to be taken away on holiday or on outings if needed.
Capacity — this is very important. For example, if you have multiple children that need food blended, it would be a good idea to get a blender with a large capacity to save you time. If your baby only requires a small amount of food and you're only feeding one and have limited kitchen space, a small capacity blender might be a good option.

Baby Brezza One Step Food Maker Deluxe, £159– Best for easy operation
Functions: Blend and steam | Dimensions: 25.8 x 20.2 x 19.2cm | Capacity: 828ml | Awards: Bronze – Weaning and feeding product, MadeForMums Awards 2022
The Baby Brezza One Step Food Maker Deluxe blends and steams baby food, and can make up to 3.5 cups of food in 10 minutes. You can use it as a steamer or blender individually, or with one button the machine can also automatically blend after steaming for super easy operation.
The blender also comes with 3 food pouches for you to store the cooked food in. Their sealable lids and compact design make them ideal for on-the-go snacking.
MFM parent tester Hollie used this to prepare food for her son and said: "This is a really well made and easy to use design that saves you a bunch of time and makes really tasty purees with the perfect consistency. It's pricey but a good option for busy parents trying to juggle so many things at once!"
The benefit of this model is how easy it is to operate, with its simple LCD control panel.
Just put some fresh or frozen food in the bowl and press the start button! It also has dishwasher-safe parts, making it easy to clean.

3. Itsy Blitz, £39.99– Best for portability

Small enough to pop into a changing bag, it has a number of clever add-ons that make it great value in a crowded market – a detachable bowl and spoon, USB charger, worldwide adapter and cool carry-case means it works hard for its £39.99 price tag.
The Oxo Tot Mash Maker (see below) has a similar feel and could be used while out and about, but this one has the benefit of being electric, for speed and ease of use.
Simply charge it up then pop it in your bag to use while on the go.
We think the handy extras of the Itsy Blitz mean you have everything needed to give your baby food there and then, plus if it saves money on pouches in the long run it’s a major bonus.

It's really easy to use, with just one button to start the cooking, defrosting and reheating and one other button to start the blending.
With the 2 baskets combined this machine has a large capacity, meaning, much like the VitalBaby one, you can cook your baby's food in large batches for later use. The cooking water vessel collects lost nutrients which can be used to adjust the texture of purees.
All the parts are dishwasher-safe apart from the electrical parts, making cleaning up after cooking super easy.
MFM tester Elosie, used this machine to prepare her daughter's food and said, "The Nutribaby ONE has been a lifesaver for me and I cannot recommend it enough. As a busy mum, it does everything I need it to whilst also looking stylish and not an eye sort like other baby products. The RRP is quite high but if bought early enough you can use it as a steriliser and steamer/blender from 4 months, ensuring plenty of use and good value for money."

7. Tommee Tippee Mini-Blend Baby Food Blender, £25– Best for value
Functions: Blend| Dimensions: 15.5 x 20 x 14.5cm | Capacity: 250ml

With its flat milling blade, it can blend food as small as oats and other grains into fine cereals.
It's also compact, so wouldn't take up much room on the worktops.
All non-electrical parts are dishwasher-safe, making for an easy clean up.
Available from: Amazon, Nutribullet and Currys
9. Tommee Tippee Quick Cook Baby Food Maker, £109.99
– Best for a memory function
Functions: Steam and blend| Dimensions: 14 x 32.6 x 31.2 cm | Capacity: 200g
Tommee Tippee's all-in-one blender and steamer makes up to 200g of steamed or pureed food in one basket, and has simple and easy operation. It even has a built-in smart memory function that remembers your last batch, and a timer so you don't have to stand over it as it cooks.
If you're one of those families that must have everything in the kitchen to match, the option of a black or white version may come in handy, and it has a relatively compact footprint, only 14cm across so it can be slid into a narrow space when not in use.
Parent tester Katherine, a mum of 2 said, "I had the Tommee Tippee steamer and blender. It was great. You just chucked in the veg and it steamed and blended it for you. No hassle!"
Available from: Amazon and Asda
10. Russel Hobbs Food Collection Hand Blender, £19.99
– Best hand blender
Functions: Blend| Dimensions: 6.4 x 35.7 x 8.5cm
This option is great for those who don't want another bulky child-specific appliance taking up kitchen space. It isn't a specific baby blender, but will do the job for quick purees, and can be used after you no longer need to blend your baby's food.
Simple to operate with no added extras, the hand blender has 2 speed settings to help you achieve the right consistency.
To clean, the plastic blending leg is easily removed and wiped down whilst the blade can just be clipped off and cleaned.
If you don't have much room on your worktops for a full on baby food machine or blender, then this is the perfect option for you.
It can even be stored away in a drawer. Plus, it works well beyond the puree stage. Parent tester Chloe said, "I find a basic stick blender good for blending hidden veggies into pasta sauce etc."
It also may work out to be better value (this is the cheapest option on this list anyway) but this can be used for years to come, meaning it could have longevity.

The best baby food makers and blenders for making homemade baby food | Reviews
A purpose-designed baby-food maker or blender saves you time and trouble when you’re making homemade baby food - perfect for when you are weaning your baby.
When you wean your baby at around the age of six months, you might want to make at least some of their food. Cooking your own baby food means you know exactly what they're eating, can adjust your recipes to suit their tastes, and often works out cheaper. Even if you are doing baby-led weaning, then you’ll still be making purées with a baby food blender, as they’re great for your little one to have as a dip with finger food.
A purpose-made gadget can make the whole process easier. There are all sorts on the market, ranging from a simple tool to blend food into a purée, to a gizmo that cooks the meal as well.
These ‘one-stop-shop’ gadgets mean there’s less washing up as everything stays in the machine’s bowl or jug from start to finish. You might even be able to programme the whole process so you simply press one button and everything happens automatically, allowing you to get on with other things. We all know the importance of being able to do ten things at once, so if there's a great gadget like a baby food blender or steamer that does three things in one, we're a fan.

Now this is in my life, its so much easier. I can just pop the food in, set the settings up and wait for it to be done instead of boiling/cooking the food, waiting to cool and then blend.

Review: "Great for weaning babies, Nutri Bullet is always brilliant brand."
How many functions will you actually use on your baby food blender?
More functions typically mean a higher price tag. So, consider carefully what you will use – do you like the idea of lots of different modes or prefer something relatively uncomplicated?
Which gadgets do you already own?
Thinking about what’s already in your kitchen cupboards will help you work out which functions will be worth paying for. For instance, some baby-food makers also double as bottle warmers, but if you’ve already got one, then you can ignore this function when deciding which gadget to go for.
How often will you use a baby food maker?
If you’re planning on cooking all your baby’s food from scratch, then this gadget will probably sit permanently on your worktop.
But if you’re simply intending to whizz up some of whatever you’re already cooking for tea at the weekend, then a smaller, more portable machine that you can easily take in and out of a cupboard might be better.
How much kitchen space do you have?
If this will be a permanent addition to your kitchen for the next year, check that the machine’s footprint won’t take up too much of your worktop space and that its height allows it to slide under your wall cupboards. Or if it’s going to be stored between uses, will it easily fit in your cupboards?
Are baby food processors easy to clean?
There’s no point saving time cooking if it means you’ll spend more time washing up. Check that the different components can go in the dishwasher if you have one and that they aren’t fiddly to take apart and assemble again after each use.
Check what’s included
Some baby food blenders come with additional weaning accessories, such as cube trays for the freezer, or food-storage pots.
Think about whether you’ll use them and whether it would make more sense to buy them separately.

Sister cities in Russia and Great Britain
Sister cities of Russia and Great Britain
Close twinning ties have been established between the cities of Russia and Great Britain. The oldest and strongest contacts are maintained by
. Volgograd and Coventry . Relations between the cities originated in 1942, when Volgograd (Stalingrad) was on the verge of complete destruction. A sense of solidarity, as well as severe military upheavals (November 14, 1940, Coventry itself was subjected to a 12-hour heavy bombardment by Germany, during which 554 people were killed) became the basis of strong friendly ties and close cooperation between the cities, a tablecloth with the names of 830 residents of Coventry is stored in the Volgograd Museum, symbolizing the British moral support for the inhabitants of the Soviet cities.
So, at the height of the Second World War, the population of Coventry, which was also struggling with a shortage of food at that moment, collected 4,516 pounds to buy food and the most necessary household items, which were spent on the needs of the Red Army.
On November 29, 1943, at the opening of the Tehran Conference, British Prime Minister W. Churchill presented I. Stalin with an award sword adorned with precious stones. It was forged by a special decree of the King of Great Britain George VI as a token of the admiration of the British people for the courage shown by the Soviet defenders of Stalingrad.
The existing humanitarian ties between the cities in 1944 were formalized in the form of an Agreement on Friendship and Cooperation.
In the post-war years there was a regular exchange of delegations between twin cities. The friendly relations established at that time survived during the Cold War. Among the first inhabitants of Coventry supported the desire of Stalingrad to join forces in the struggle to ban weapons of mass destruction.
Yes, at 19In 1985, the International Conference of Fighters for Peace and Disarmament was held in Coventry, to which representatives of Volgograd were also invited.
Cooperation between Volgograd and Coventry continued after the collapse of the USSR. Already in 1991, Volgograd hosted the International Theater Festival, in which a group from Coventry, the Triangle Theater troupe, took part with a performance about life in England during difficult wartime. In 2004, the cities celebrated the 60th anniversary of twinning. In this regard
A representative delegation from Volgograd visited Coventry at the invitation of the mayor. In 2008, residents of Volgograd, following the example of women from Coventry, created the "Stalingrad tablecloth", which was handed over to the British in honor of the next anniversary of sister city relations. In 2014, children from the Volgograd Children's Symphony Orchestra performed charity concerts in Coventry schools and in the city's central cathedral.
In 2019, sister city relations between the cities turned 75 years old. A number of events were timed to coincide with the anniversary, including meetings of representatives of municipal authorities. In particular, on April 30 this year. A conference dedicated to the 75th anniversary of cooperation between Volgograd and Coventry was held in London, during which an electronic exhibition “Stalingrad: a symbol of courage and heroism. 1942-1943".
At the end of October this year. The grand opening of Volgograd Square will take place in Coventry.
The remaining ties between cities testify to the interest of their residents in further expanding cooperation, including by attracting young people to joint projects.
In 1956, following the example of Volgograd and Coventry. Novorossiysk and Plymouth also signed a twinning agreement based on the similar position of these cities as major naval ports subjected to heavy bombardment and destruction during the war years.
Plymouth became the first twin city for Novorossiysk.
Today, the interaction between Plymouth and Novorossiysk is conducted not only along the cultural line. City administrations exchange practical advice and experience in solving urgent problems. For example, after the flood in Novorossiysk in 2002, the mayor's office of the city consulted with its British counterparts on how to prevent such situations from occurring (Plymouth itself periodically encounters natural disasters of this kind and has an established system of warning and evacuation of the population).
In 1959, following the example of its Black Sea neighbor, Sochi signed an agreement on cultural and tourist cooperation with Cheltenham . June 2019 marked the 60th anniversary of sister city relations. The interaction between Sochi and Cheltenham was marked by regular bilateral visits, joint cultural events and youth exchanges, and in 1965 the "Liquidambre Alley" in Sochi (Matsesta) was renamed "Cheltenham Alley" as a tribute to the sister city.
After the collapse of the USSR, cooperation between cities began to manifest itself only sporadically. In 2004, a delegation from Cheltenham visited Sochi, timed to coincide with the 45th anniversary of twinning. In 2017, a delegation from Sochi visited Cheltenham, after which the Russians received a letter with a proposal to intensify cooperation. In 2019A number of commemorative events were organized for the 60th anniversary, as well as the exchange of schoolchildren from linguistic schools.
In 1962 the cooperation agreement was signed by Messrs. St. Petersburg and Manchester . The English city became the second sister city of St. Petersburg after the Finnish Turku. The two cities are united by the role of the second largest agglomerations in their countries, a rich cultural life, as well as a historical past. In 2002, an information center for St. Petersburg was opened in Manchester, where materials on the history of the city are posted.
In 2003, in the city on the Neva, as part of the celebration of its 300th anniversary, Manchester Week was held. In 2005, the Russian news agency RIA Novosti opened a photo exhibition called Pobeda 45: From Leningrad to Berlin at the Manchester Central Library. Russian culture is highly valued in Manchester, and there is even an ensemble of Russian folk song and dance "Kalinka" in the city. Russian folk and classical music can also be found in the programs of many Manchester concert halls. In 2012 St. Petersburg and Manchester celebrated the 60th anniversary of twinning. A number of events were timed to coincide with the anniversary, among them: bilateral visits, conferences, seminars, cultural exchanges.
In 1984, Veliky Novgorod and Watford (a suburb of London) became twin cities. To develop cooperation, including student and cultural exchanges, the administration of the two cities established the Friendship Society of Veliky Novgorod and Watford.
At the initiative of the Society, in 2003, delegates from Watford visited Veliky Novgorod, as well as the local music group Face to Face, which performed charity concerts. Similar visits were also organized in 2004, 2006-2007. In 2014, the cities celebrated the 20th anniversary of sister city relations.
Partnerships connect gg. Glasgow (Scotland) and Rostov-on-Don . The agreement on sister city relations was signed in 1986. All this time, joint projects in the cultural, economic, and social spheres have been actively implemented. Since 1996, when the chambers of commerce and industry of Rostov-on-Don and Glasgow signed a cooperation agreement, there has been a regular exchange of experience in this area.
Friendly ties are also developing between cities Perm and Oxford . The first contacts between them were established in 1989. In 1995, the mayors of the two cities signed the relevant Declaration.
In order to strengthen cooperation and hold cultural events in the UK, a non-profit association "Oxford-Perm" was created. In 2018, as part of the sports exchange program, the association organized a trip for students from Perm to Oxford, and also initiated the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the leadership of Perm and Oxford universities. In September 2019d. Researchers from the two universities held a series of meetings to exchange experiences. Currently, representatives of the city administration are actively discussing issues related to the organization of the celebration of the 75th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War and the end of the Second World War. In addition, in 2020, it is planned to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the establishment of sister city relations between the two cities.
In 1989, twinning ties were also established between the cities. Yaroslavl and Exeter (the capital of Devon in the southwest of England).
In order to implement cooperation, the Friendship Society of the two cities was established in the same year. Since its foundation, it has been developing cooperation in the humanitarian sphere. From 19For 97 years, the House of Friendship "Yaroslavl-Exeter" has been operating in Yaroslavl. It hosts seminars and lectures by teachers and artists from the UK. The House of Friendship also operates English language courses, the students of which, among other things, maintain contact with the inhabitants of Exeter. In 2016, during the visit of a delegation from Exeter to Yaroslavl, an Agreement was signed between the cities on the continuation of partnerships.
Twinning between Chelyabinsk and Nottinghamshire (central England) were established in 2000 and are not yet developing as actively as relations between other cities in Russia and Great Britain. After the signing of the Agreement, Chelyabinsk was visited by the head of the department for physical culture, sports and tourism of the county of Nottinghamshire, S.
