This safe, non-toxic and BPA-free countertop appliance system was specifically designed to aid parents to prepare and store their own nutrient-rich, preservative-free, organic baby food.
As a really busy mommy of 5 including twins, making baby food sounded way to complicated until I tried this appliance and while my youngest are more "toddler aged than baby" at this point, I've found it a really handy system even as your kids get older.
The arguments for making your own food instead of buying baby are obvious. The main points are that jarred baby food is much more expensive than homemade food, plus it typically contains unhealthy sugars, preservatives, and fillers even in some organic varieties.
The Baby Bullet System includes:
The Power Base: The heart of The Original Baby Bullet™ Baby Care System. Simply place either the Batchbowl or one of the Short Cups on to the High-Torque Power Base, press down and twist for preservative-free, all-natural baby food in seconds.
The Cross Blade and Flat Blade: The Cross Blade is used for pureeing and blending foods, while the Flat Blade is used for milling grains to make cereals. Both are BPA-free and dishwasher safe.
Two Short Cups: Both cups are used to mix and store ingredients and are BPA-free and dishwasher safe.
The Batchbowl: This larger vessel is used for creating large amounts of baby food for storage. It’s BPA-free and dishwasher safe.
Six Storage Cups with Date-Dial lids: Simply spoon your baby food in to the storage cup, twist on the lid and turn the Date-Dial to show the date you created the food. All six cups and lids are BPA-free and dishwasher safe.
The Batch Tray: This one-of-a-kind tray is used to store large batches of baby’s favorite food after preparation. The Batch Tray freezes over 24 ounces of baby food and the silicone “easy pop” cups make it a breeze to pop out one serving, several servings, or all 12 Baby Bullet servings with ease. It is BPA-free and dishwasher safe.
The Soft-Tip Spatula: Helps scoop the prepared baby food into the storage vessels with ease.
The Original Baby Bullet™ User Guide and Cookbook: This handy book takes the guess work out of preparing the tastiest, healthiest, age-appropriate foods that are perfect for baby at every stage of development. It includes recipes for Sweet Potato Puree, Green Pea Puree, Oatmeal Cereal, Strawberry and Pear Totsicles, and many other baby favorites.
Pocket Nutritionist: This pocket-sized companion guides moms on exactly how much food to buy, how to choose the freshest produce, and provides nutritional information so that baby is getting all the vitamins and minerals needed for optimal health.
The Original Baby Bullet™ 22-piece system can be purchased for $59.97, plus shipping and processing, at www.mybabybullet.com. The offer also includes the Stay Fresh Thermal Tiny Tote Bag as a free gift. This Baby Bullet-specific tote allows moms to take six Date-Dial lid storage cups of baby food on the go, ensuring freshness during travels.
I found the Baby Bullet system really does include everything you need to prepare baby food with ease (minus the food itself of course). I wish I'd had this system and it's great cookbook sooner. I've been whipping up batches of fruit / combined with carrot puree, dividing it up in the batch tray topped with a little yogurt and adding a spoon before freezing. It makes for a ready to go "totsicle" I serve the twins at various times of the day. They always think they are getting some decadent treat when you hand them a frozen popsicle with breakfast.
