Philips AVENT Combined Steamer and Blender
An easy-fill steamer means no messing about
Yum! Healthy, homemade baby food is now at your fingertips--the Philips AVENT Combined Steamer and Blender is perfect for every stage of weaning. Simply pop the veg in, steam, then turn the jug upside down and blitz. Quick Tip: Monitor the cooking time and turn off the dial (there is no automatic timer) when you're happy with the results. For further information and instructions, please see the Easy Start Guide and Spec Sheet--the links are found above on this product page.
Three blending speeds allow you to serve up age-appropriate meals
Avoid the hassle of purchasing expensive, pre-made jars of mush (let’s face it, some of the food will be thrown back at you anyway!). With the Combined Steamer and Blender, you get the reassurance of knowing exactly what your baby is eating.
Even the fussiest eaters will enjoy mealtime
Steam fruit, vegetables, fish or meat
Steam the ingredients, then simply flip over to blend
The AVENT Combined Steamer and Blender is not just for vegetables. You can also use it for steaming fruit, meat and fish--anything that suits your baby’s tastes (or the contents of your fridge). The Steamer and Blender’s efficient steam cycle means that food is cooked perfectly to maintain its original texture, nutrients and cooking liquids.
Includes a recipe booklet
The Steamer and Blender also comes with a booklet of age-appropriate recipes, information on weaning and some helpful advice, to make things easier at home during the weaning process.
Easy to clean and store
The compact design of the Philips AVENT Combined Steamer and Blender makes storage a breeze. Plus, with only a few parts, it’s also simple to clean--an absolute must for busy parents.
BPA-free
The Philips AVENT Combined Steamer and Blender is free of Bisphenol A (BPA).

This gadget has revolutionised my approach to baby food and has given me the confidence to make all my baby's food myself since he started solids. It has already paid for itself but more importantly, i know exactly what he is eating and know it contains nothing but the fresh ingredients i add. It is so simple, takes up such little counter space, no mess. You literally add whatever combination you want to try (yesterday baby had beetroot, cabbage and beef) into the jug, add water, steam for 20 mins and then blend. It is easy to wash. My only issue is that scale builds up quite quickly inside, and I usually get rid of it by adding citric acid crystals to the water tank over night and then run the steamer through twice. I have been using it heavily since June and its going strong. I don't think i would have been able to do this (make my own baby food) if it wasn't this easy (with 2 kids and very little time and less energy). Just think - if a baby food jar costs approx. 70p and your baby eats even only 3 per day that makes about fourteen pounds a week - pays for itself in 5 weeks and can be used even after baby stops eating mushy food. I highly highly recommend.

Very good product that makes life much easier. The size is not big enough though I am struggling to make amounts for 2 feeds.

This is an amazing product! It's easy to use and easy to clean. It makes simple, healthy food for your baby and allows you to have control over what your child eats. I have been using this for the last week and my daughter could not be happier. It may seem pricy and to be honest, that factor almost put me off but I believe it has more than paid for itself already. If you add up what you would spend on jars of baby food over a month, it would be a fairly sizeable sum. I love this gadget and would recommend it to all mums and dads even considering buying it!

I bought this when it was on offer at a cheaper price. However, if it ever stopped working, I'd have no hesitation in buying a new one at full price. It is so easy to use. You just put all your ingredients in the jar with the blade already in place. Put the lid on and pour water in the tank, that is hidden in the base, using the little measuring cup provided. You have to put the jug on the unit upside-down...then the machine knows what you're about to do. That's all you need to do to get things started. The steamer selection on the unit's dial clicks into place and stays there for the duration of the steaming process.
All your food is steamed to perfection. I used to use other methods of steaming and found some of the veg would come out burned on the edges. This doesn't do that.
When the steaming cycle is over, it beeps quite faintly to let you now it's ready for the next stage. It doesn't just beep once, it keeps on beeping at intervals, so you don't forget. The next step is to take the jug off the unit, turn it up the right way and place it back on the unit. The machine will only operate in blending mode when the jug is in this position. You don't have to wait for any length of time before turning the jug round for blending. The blending selection on the dial has to be held in place...ie. you have to apply pressure in the direction of the selection and keep holding until you're happy with the outcome. It doesn't click and stay.
As your child gets older, you can take the lid off and pour away some of the liquid...but, for very young babies, you would need it quite runny. Don't forget, if it's too runny, you can always add a spoonful or two of baby rice to thicken it.... Read more ›

(What's this?)
This is an excellent product from the Phillips Avent range. The unit is basically a combo blender/steamer whose function depends upon how the jug is placed on the mechanism. Proper way up gives you a blender, reversing this gives you a steamer (you need to fill the base of the jug with water before using).
To be honest we have found this to be far more useful than just a baby-food blender. In order to ensure that baby food is well blended and not contain any lumps for baby, the motor is very powerful, giving a satisfyingly high pitched sound when whizzing and making short work of the lumpiest of ingredients in under a minute. This, when combined with the steam function allows you to cook and purify quickly in a way which preserves the vitamins in the ingredients.
We have in fact been making perfectly smooth soups very quickly, steaming the imgredients to perfection in around 10 minutes and then blending for perfect results.
I have found that the shape of the device also makes a great spice blender. Because it is more narrower and higher than the more squat traditional food blender it catches spices like coriander seeds very quickly and soon grinds them to a smooth powder.
The capacity of the jug is 1 litre or around 2 pints in Imperial, which is perfect for soup for 4 people, a lot of curry paste or plenty of food for baby. I do wish that Phillips make a larger one though for bigger cooking assignments.
Very highly recommended
