Using the bottle warmer to warm baby food

2. Be sure to stir the baby food during heating as it does not circulate automatically. Be careful not to burn your fingers while holding the container/jar while mixing.

After reheating, check the baby food with a spoon to make sure it is not too hot. If the baby food is not hot enough, put the container back into the bottle warmer and heat the baby food to the desired temperature.

What devices modern devices do not combine! This time, Philips has combined the functions of a steamer and a blender. The Avent steamer-blender can steam food and then grind it to a homogeneous state.

Description of the Avent Philips steamer-blender

The body of the appliance is made of durable plastic. For the manufacture of the bowl, high-quality transparent plastic is also used.

The appliance consists of a lid with steam holes, filter, cutting unit. The control is carried out with the help of a handle, which can be in three positions. These are cooking mode, grinding mode and off.

A measuring cup, spatula and recipe book are included with the steamer blender.

The Philips Avent Steamer/Blender costs between $150 and $200.

How it works Avent Philips

The device container is filled with water through a special filling hole and the lid is closed. From this water, under the influence of electrical energy, steam will be released. Then crushed products are immersed there. Do not load many hard pieces into the bowl at the same time. Press the "Start" button, after which the products begin to cook. When the process is finished, the Philips Avent Steamer/Blender will let you know with a beep.

Then the container with finished products is turned over. By turning the handle to the other side, the grinding process is started.

Precautions

The instructions warn that the blades of the appliance are very sharp. Therefore, you cannot touch them when the cord is connected to the network.

If the knife block is sticking, be sure to unplug the appliance first and then remove the food from the bowl. Otherwise, the knife may suddenly work and injure your hands.

Only lift the appliance by the handle to avoid scalding yourself with steam.

Do not use the steamer without water. But a large amount of it also cannot be poured. There is a special mark on the bowl, above which the water level should not rise.

Food must not be added to the steamer during operation. This may cause burns. Even if you need to add ingredients to cooked foods before grinding, you must first make sure that the lid is cool.

You should also check the temperature of food before giving it to your baby. To do this, just touch the bowl with your palm.

To be on the safe side, the manual advises checking breastfeeding food for lumps. Although they should not be, it is better to play it safe.

The bowl must not be placed in a microwave oven.

Installation details

Avent (steamer-blender) requires careful attention to itself. The instruction says that the bowl must be installed very accurately in order to prevent leaks. Just carefully install the internal valve of the cover. This is necessary so that particles of food do not get out of the bowl, and it does not burn there. Otherwise, the smell of burning will be heard for a very long time. And if the heating element can, after disassembling the device, be cleaned with citric acid, then it is almost impossible to clean the plastic.

There is an O-ring made of plastic with projections under the knife. When removing the knife, it flies. Some users get tired of constantly putting it back in place and throw the ring away. But this cannot be done, because then the hexagonal recess on the knife is violated. As a result, the drive shaft breaks the wall, and the Philips Avent steamer-blender stops grinding food.

Spare parts are available but will cost approximately 70 percent of the cost of a new instrument. Therefore, most often consumers immediately buy a new one.
