A baby food processor is a great investment for parents that want to provide their children with healthy, unsweetened whole foods. Using a processor makes baby food preparation quick, easy and less expensive than buying bottled food.
Dex offers a model that comes apart and serves as a serving bowl, so you don't have to dirty a lot of dishes to make your own baby food. With a 14oz capacity, this processor really only serves one purpose though. If you are looking for a processor that can handle different types of food preparation, a food processor juicer might be the appliance you're looking for.
Using a juicer is also a great way to get your kids to eat and drink healthy without knowing it. Fresh, homemade juices are lower in sugar and higher in nutritional value than store bought varieties. While the Dex baby processor is handy for someone preparing one portion of baby food at a time, with a processor/juicer you can process large quantities and refrigerate for later use. A multi-functional appliance that acts as a juicer as well as a processor is a handy appliance to have in any kitchen.
Considering the differences between the Dex baby model and most larger processor models, it would be reasonable to have both in your kitchen. While a regular processor would be too large to prepare just one serving of baby food, it has many other uses around the kitchen. The Dex is great if you run out of processed baby food and just want to prepare one serving, or if you want to try a small quantity of something new before mixing an entire batch.
Whether you decide on a miniature processor or a full size juicer processor (or both), you are doing your children a great service by preparing fresh, wholesome food for them.
