Tommee Tippee Steamer Blender Recipes
When a food blogger has a baby, I guess it’s inevitable that the blog start featuring baby-friendly food and what to feed a baby upon weaning. I am no different I guess! I weaned Sameera at 5.5 months and two months down the line, I have a happy baby who loves her solids, sometimes even more than milk.
I was not planning to get here a dedicated machine for making baby food. In fact, I had plans to introduce baby-led weaning which doesn’t believe in pureed food as such and is based on feeding baby whatever the adults eat but minus the salt, spice and sugar. While I had good intentions, it didn’t quite out that easily. Sameera would play with the food and cry from hunger. When this continued for a few meals, I caved and started feeding her.
I have been using the Tommee Tippee baby food steamer cum blender for Sameera exclusively for three months now and wanted to share all the details including pros and cons with you.

So, do you really need a baby food maker? The need for a dedicated baby food steamer/blender is debatable and as someone who was just going to use her Indian mixie, I can definitely tell you that I am super glad to have this nifty device.
If you were to use your current mixie or blender, you would need to steam the vegetables/fruits/meat/seafood separately and then blend it. This device does everything in one shot.
This also cuts down cross contamination. If you are an Indian household like us, you would be using your blender or mixie for spicy masala pastes, Indian chutneys, and such and this can leach into your baby’s food if the blender jars are not washed thoroughly or handled properly.

In fact, my mom was saying how she used to wash hers in boiling water three times before preparing anything for us when we were babies. Seriously, how much time does that waste in a day?
As far as baby food makers go, the Tommee Tippee steamer blender has a very small footprint. It sits neatly on my countertop and takes up around the same space as my rice cooker.
Doesn’t get much easier than this to make baby food puree. You plug-in the machine, chop up the ingredients and add to the steamer blender bowl, fill the adjoining compartment with water, set time, and let the machine run. In about 30 minutes, steaming hot food is ready.

You can choose to just steam the ingredients, only blend cooked ingredients, or do both together. I usually steam and blend but have on occasion used just the blender, like to make mashed fruit which doesn’t need pre-cooking.
You also need to measure out the water that goes into the compartment in the machine (450ml) and with some trial and error, also figure out how much vegetables need to go in for you to get the consistency you are after. This is fairly quick to figure out though.
At SGD 199, it’s not cheap. I anticipate we will get a good one year’s use out of it if not more. Even when Sameera moves on to eat everyday food with us, I still hope to make sauces and mashed vegetables for her in the Tommee Tippee steamer blender just because it’s guaranteed safe from contamination, mainly from hot chilli and spices we tend to use in our food.

When it comes to your baby, things do tend to get expensive. I would say it’s worth it but of course, it’s a personal call and once you need to do after you take all the pros and cons into consideration.
The machine won’t turn on unless you’ve put the blender in the right way and locked both the water compartment and the blender in. You also need to ensure cleaning and assembling the machine is done in the right manner and all should be well.
Overall, I would say this machine is TOTALLY worth it. I am glad I have one and we use it multiple times a day. Everything Sameera eats is prepared in this and I have found quite a few hacks to make Indian friendly food in a baby food maker. I will share a few ideas in another post so stay tuned for that.

: This Tommee Tippee Baby Food Steamer Blender was sent to me for use and review. All opinions are honest and based on my actual use so you can trust me on that 🙂 If you have any questions, please leave a comment below.
If you are in Singapore, the Tommee Tippee Baby Food Steamer Blender is available at Agape Babies (online), Kiddy Palace (retail), Mothercare (online/retail) and Pupsik Studio (online).Even as an experienced mum I used to dread that weaning stage when extreme exhaustion competed with mummy guilt leaving me torn between making my own baby food or getting an extra ten minutes rest when my little one (finally) napped.
As our family got larger I was usually preparing plenty of fruit and vegetables for our dinner so it was more a case of remembering to separate the baby's ingredients before seasoning.
Review: Tommee Tippee Steamer Blender
Then I had to make the time to mash/blend/chop to the right sort of consistency for the weaning stage and THEN hope the fussy little blighter ate my home-made blends.
The clever people at tommee tippee have realised that one group of people who require labour saving devices more than most are parents, especially parents of under one's.
And with a drumroll and a round of pathetically grateful applause from knackered parents and carers, I reveal the labour saving device anyone with weaning in their present or future should have in their armoury.

The water tank and food container parts both lock for safety and no steam escapes the gadget during use. The design has recently been updated with improvements to the jug, blade and sealing rings and we had absolutely no issues with any of these even after repeated use.
We made a very smooth blend puree using a selection of uncooked fruit and vegetables and after 15 minutes our baby food was ready and smelled delicious! It was hot obviously so you would have to allow time for the food to cool before serving to baby. You can easily adjust steaming time and blending time to create your perfect consistency.
The steamer blender comes with a spatula for scraping out the cooking jug and two travel pots to store your homemade baby food in.

I think this gadget is a must-have for every parent and would make a wonderful present for any mums-to-be. The original RRP was over £100 but I found it today on Amazon for just over £50 and on other sites for not much more than that. Hurrah for sale season!
Actually, although it's not what it was designed for, the tommee tippee steamer blender is the perfect gadget to make one cup of homemade soup, pasta sauces or a smoothie for older children or adults too. That's lunchtime sorted for busy parents who want to quick healthy food with little effort.
My 21 year old son has been making tasty nutritious spinach, pepper and tomato smoothie drinks with it (see pic, above) so as longevity goes for a gadget I think that's pretty good!
