In this day in age, people look at you crossed-eyed when you tell them you feed your child jarred baby food. When did this become a bad thing? So since I was feeling guilty and since I want to provide my child with a variety of foods and textures, I was excited about my purchase of the Green Sprouts Baby Food Mill. Well, my excitement dwindled once I started using it. The concept is good but it could use some improvements. My two biggest gripes are that one, you have to push down rather hard to move the food up the cylinder while grinding the food up. And two, it’s messy; especially if you’re trying to grind foods that have water in them (which is like all fruits and vegetables) as the water runs down and onto the counter top. It would be nice if the base had a suction cup to provide some stability when grinding. It’s pretty easy to clean, I’ll give them that and it’s BPA free plastic. It is NOT a pureer, it is a grinder. Therefore the food has far more texture, which is another thing I liked for my older baby. Needless to say, overall, I am disappointed that the ease of use is not better.
