Question:
Laura, I bought the First Year’s grinder 3 yrs ago because it was the only one I could find (and I checked Kitchen supply stores too). I’ve used it for both my children and it works just fine. I use the food processor to get meats and other tough foods into finer pieces or to make baby mush (stage 1 foods). The grinder I use for almost everything else, particularly for 2nd stage foods. Needless to say, I’ve found tons of uses for the grinder beyond the kids’ foods and it’s still in good shape (not perfect shape though, the fastener that adheres the grinder plate doesn’t snap as tightly but that doesn’t interfere with the performance of the grinder and actually makes taking the contraption apart a LOT easier!)

I don’t know about the First Years food grinder, we have the HAppy Baby grinder. I see one person has given you a mail order source for the Happy baby.. We had to look pretty hard for ours. Couldn’t find it in any of the baby stores in town. Then one day we went to Whole Foods and there it was. BTW Whole Foods is a chain of upscale health food grocerie stores. I also give a hearty recomendation to use a food grinder and feed babies ‘real’ food. Several of our friends have had problems getting their kids off baby food. We never had that problem because Julie never had baby food. Julie also seems to to enjoy a better variety of foods then some children her age. This may also be because she was introduced to ‘real’ food from the start. Gordon, Julie’s Dad.

I went out to buy a food grinder the other day and the only one I found was the one made by The First Years. I’d been looking for the Happy Baby one I think most of you have. Does anyone have any recommendations, either for or against the First Years one? I’m curious which of the two is easier to use. BTW, I won’t be using it for too much heavy duty stuff…mostly veggies and pasta, etc. Any help would be great. Laura and Maggie 7/30/97

I just used the food processor that my mom gave me, it seemed to work fine. If I needed a real puree, I just added a little water, or milk, as seemed appropriate. Otherwise, I did all the veggies, fruits and meats with it, and it worked real well! (microwaved first, a few minutes) good luck, Lisa

It can mash most everything to shreds, and has real uses as well. Get the deluxe version at Service Merchandise, $30 or so. Unlike other ‘food processors’, it makes very little mess, and can chop very small amounts. Spiros (kitchen gadgeteer extraordinaire) — at home in Central Indiana www.primenet.com/~strianta
