Most moms feel a dedicated steam-and-churn baby food maker isn't worth it - a small regular cooker and your existing mixie do the job, and the gadget becomes useless once the baby moves to family food - though it's fine if it genuinely saves you effort.
Parents wonder if a fancy all-in-one food maker is a must for healthy homemade baby food or just another gadget. The community reassures that the kitchen tools they already own - a small cooker, a steamer insert and a mixie - do everything needed, and that the specialized device is short-lived once baby joins family meals, so it's an optional convenience, not a necessity.
Here's what moms in our community shared based on their own experience.
I didn't buy a separate cooker, but a small cooker was helpful.
The all-in-one steamer-and-churner is a bit of a sham - you'll eventually move to regular solids and it becomes useless. In most Indian households there's kitchen help, so I don't see the value; but if it reduces work for you, go ahead.
Use your mixie/bullet for mashes; a small cooker with a steamer insert covers steaming.
