Baby Products Reviews of KidCo Baby Steps Food Mill, with Carrying Case , 1 food mill
Customer Review: Pretty good
Summary: 3 Stars
This food mill does an ok job for what I paid for it. My grinder blades were steel, unlike some other reviewers who said it was plastic, unless they were referring to the screen that sits on top of the grinder which is plastic. It is very convenient for on the go use; it is small and fits nicely in the diaper bag. My only complaint is that it's difficult to get the screen on and off. It is a "turn to lock" type of fitting, but you do this by means of the turn handle which always turns freely without stopping. Ultimately I have to stick my finger in the bowl to lock/unlock it in order to secure blade or pull it out for cleaning. It's not that big of a deal but it is annoying after the bowl is dirty and full of baby food. Over all, I would recommend this to a friend. It's inexpensive, functional, and easy to clean once taken apart.Customer Review: It Rusts!

I was excited to try this product so that we could share our homemade food with our baby girl. I used it once to grind spaghetti and meatballs (more of a blunt crushing action than true grinding). Our baby was not quite ready for the consistency of the food, so I promptly hand-washed all the parts in warm water and mild dish detergent and let it air dry in the dish rack. When I went back to use it after a week, I discovered a reddish ring had formed underneath the grinder ring between the ring and the blade. At first I thought it must be pasta sauce that I had missed but upon further inspection it is undoubtedly RUST! I would have assumed any kitchen utensil that would repeatedly be exposed to water would be made of stainless steel but this appears not to be the case! The "grinder" is now sitting in our garbage can.Customer Review: Fast and convenient baby food,

My son was 7 months old when I got this food mill. I felt that this might be just another extra but I wanted to try it since my pediatrician recommended getting a food mill. It has worked out great so far. For example, last night I went to a family function. I selected chicken casserole, green beans, and potatoes to put in the food mill. I was able to feed my son easily and also clean up quickly by just putting the food mill back into the tote to wash later. I use it in restaurants and also at home. I am very pleased with Kidco products so far and the reviews on their other products are consistently positive. I feel confident from what I know so far that this is a great product for this stage of feeding. I purchased this from Baby Depot but several stores also carry it including BRU.Customer Review: Doesn't puree like stage 1 baby food

I have a 5mo old and started on solids couple weeks ago. I've been making baby food at home since the beginning so I got this mill for it's convenience to make small quantities as needed for freshness. I make large batches in the electric food processor. Anyways, this mill will puree steamed fruits/vegetables, but the texture is not as smooth as the commercial stage 1 baby food in the jar. Like my daughter, your baby might need to get used to the coarser texture of pureed food from this mill. Another thing I don't like about this mill is that if you pour in the steamed fruit/vegetables with some juice still running, it tends to leak from the bottom...so it's a bit messy. Other than that it's pretty convenient to make fresh baby food without using the heavy electric food processor.Customer Review: Food mill the best!!

I am a mother of 4. My oldest is now 23 years old. I used this grinder with all four children and continue to give it as a gift to friends and family who are expecting. I used to carry it with me in my diaper bag... it was a great way to slowly introduce my babies to table food... and since we eat very healthy I knew what they were consuming. In addition, the fact that there are no cords or batteries meant you were never caught off guard with out an outlet or dead cells.
This is a must. When I become a grandmother this will be one of the first additions to the cupboard of my children. I still have mine that is at least 20 years old and works like a charm. Works great for herbs and garlic as well.
