Will a mini food processor (“food chopper”) work to make my won baby food, or will I need a full size?
I am planning to make my on baby food soon and I am wondering if I can use a mini Hamilton Beach Food Processor rather than having to but a large one. I already have a blender, but I don’t plan to make huge batches; I just want to be able to process what we are having for her to be able to eat too. Has anyone used one like this? Does it make a mush or just chunks? I am looking at the Hamilton Beach Food Processor mini chopper since it matches my set. Any other tips are welcome. Thanks

A mini one will work just fine for individual servings. I have a similar one. It may leave the occasional “chunk”, but it generally does a good job.
The only thing that bugged me is that sometimes I’d make a huge pot of green beans or something. If I wanted to make several servings to freeze, it took me forever. lol No big deal though. The mini was much more convenient for what I needed.
mini choppers won’t usually puree to well. i’ve had better luck with a blender. i don’t advise giving her too much or what you eat if it’s overly seasoned though.
i used one like this. I found it that it only did small batches so if that is what you are looking for than it would work. I also use a hand blender (you know the tall skinny one that you would use to make milkshakes). This one pureed the food so much faster and smaller and was better when I had to add water. Plus it was only 7.99, every penny counts. I don;t think that you need to spend the money on a large one unless you plan on using it again in the future.
If you just want to share what you’re having with her a mini will work fine. If you want to make in bulk and freeze you would have to buy a large one but if you don’t intend to do that don’t spend when you haven’t got to.
I just use my blender, and I don’t make huge batches. I just make enough for a day or two and it seems to work just fine. Maybe you should try it out first and see how it goes…Good luck either way!
