The first company to introduce an all-in-one product that cooks and blends food specifically for babies, Baby Brezza remains a go-to brand for moms. Its One Step™ Baby Food Maker Deluxe steams and auto-blends at the touch of a button, making over three cups of food in as little as 10 minutes. Each set includes three reusable pouches and a funnel to make it easier to fill each one.
Babymoov | Duo Meal Station XL Baby Food Maker
You can make three meals at one time with the Duo Meal Station XL Baby Food Maker. The separate steaming baskets keep food safe from cross contamination while the gentle steaming technology locks in nutrients. An attached blender has three different speeds to match the growing needs of your baby, and its lifetime warranty ensures you’ll be able to use it as long as you need it.
BÉABA | Babycook® Neo
With four modern, muted colorways, the Babycook® Neo looks good on any counter. Moms who prefer to avoid plastic appreciate the large glass blending bowl and stainless steel basket, which can prepare four sizable portions each use cycle. A convenient sound and light feature signals the end of cooking just in case baby distracts you from completing the task. Added perk: The water reservoir doubles as a bottle warmer and sterilizer.
Bear | Baby Food Maker
Made of BPA-free food-grade materials, the Bear Baby Food Maker steams, juices, and blends for a surprisingly affordable price. Even sleep-deprived moms have no trouble operating this all-on-one product, thanks to its control panel with graphic buttons, and the unique self-clean function means it won’t add to the pile of bottles by the sink.
Chefhandy | Baby Food Processor
Whether you choose the green, blue, or yellow colorway, you’ll love the retro-reminiscent style of this five-in-one machine that steams, blends, sterilizes, warms, and juices. The included recipe book provides inspiration, and six reusable pouches make storing your creations even easier. Planning to use it for multiple kids? The two-year warranty and a parts-replacement program add to its longevity.
EVLA’s | Baby Food Maker
Self-cleaning and made from durable, food-safe materials, EVLA’S Baby Food Maker simplifies the feeding process when your little one starts solids. Steam and blend foods into smooth purees with the auto feature, or manually process the food into chunkier pieces for older babies. The Baby Food Maker is available in five colors, too, so you can match it to your kitchen’s décor.
Green Sprouts | Fresh Baby Food Mill
For moms who intend to share family meals with baby, Green Sprouts’ Fresh Baby Food Mill is the perfect power-free product. When dinner is ready, just pull out this compact mill and break down the dish. Seeds and skins are automatically separated for extra peace of mind, and when it’s time for cleanup, you can load the mill into the dishwasher.
Homia | Dansa 8-in-1 Smart Baby Food Processor
Step-by-step instructions, an easy-to-use touch panel, and a water-level window take the guesswork out of using the Dansa 8-in-1 Smart Baby Food Processor. Moms of multiples will love the three-tier basket that allows you to prepare 42 ounces of food at once, and the cups and baskets are all dishwasher safe—a win for any parent.
Nuby | Mighty Blender 22-Piece Baby Food System
The Mighty Blender 22-Piece Baby Food System is a stand-out for its extensive set of accessories; it provides everything you’ll need for your solid-starting adventure. Cook your root veggies in the steaming basket, use one of the two blades to blend them smooth, and then scoop the puree out with the soft-tip spatula. If you’re batch cooking, the storage cups and freezer tray help you stash the meals away.
NutriBullet | ®Baby Steam + Blend
Blitz tough foods into silky purees with the NutriBullet ®Baby Steam + Blend. Its simple dial function has three settings: steam, blend/pulse, or auto, giving you as much or as little control as you want. The one-bowl design not only makes it a breeze to use, but also a cinch to clean. Plus, the bowl and lid are dishwasher safe.
NutriChef | Baby Food Maker
An inexpensive option for moms dipping their toes into the world of solids, NutriChef’s Baby Food Maker steams and blends in the same cup. The steam dial allows you to adjust the cooking time for each food, ensuring things like apples are soft before you blend. As your baby gets bigger, you may want to switch to more of a chopped texture, and the touch-button pulse feature helps you do just that.
Quark | Quook Baby Food Maker, Bottle Warmer & Sterilizer
Receiving high marks from busy parents, the Quook Baby Food Maker, Bottle Warmer & Sterilizer is a five-in-one machine with flexible cooking times, a self-cleaning option, and a sterilization mode. In addition to its space-saving design, the built-in water tank can be used to warm bottles, so that’s one less gadget you’ll need out on your counter.
Sage Spoonfuls | Sage Baby Puree & Blend
The Sage Baby Puree & Blend is a great multi-purpose appliance that will easily win a place in your crowded kitchen drawers. You can use it as an immersion blender or a food processor, and it especially comes in handy for moms who enjoy making several meals at one time. Sage Spoonfuls also offers sets with reusable pouches, containers, and even a steaming basket.

Ventray’s hassle-free return policy and a one-year warranty give you buying confidence, too.

Reviewers point out that its blending function can’t be beat. Kids with texture sensitivities will never know you put a bag of spinach in that smoothie (well, as long as the green color doesn’t give it away)!
