I want to puree some fruit and veggies (for juices or to add to sauces, etc). What kitchen equipment is best?
June 22, 2011
I want to puree some fruit to make juice or popsicles for my toddler and I’d like to puree some cooked vegetables to mix into spaghetti sauce (either homemade or store bought) for both her and my husband. My husband won’t eat veggies and my 18 month old is a picky eater who is still getting used to solids but loves spaghetti.
What’s the best type of kitchen appliance to use for this? Food processor, blender or something else entirely? I’d like to find something fairly standard since I will have to buy this item and I don’t want to spend a fortune on anything.
Thanks!
I would like to recommend an Immersion or stick blender as you can use a pitcher and just "immerse " the blender in to the pitcher and blend, only takes a few seconds and just rinse off with HOT water when done and hang to dry.
The magic bullet works great, you can now even get a baby bullet for baby foods. I have one and use it often, its inexpensive and small, easy to store.
blender would be best to puree, as a food proccessor often leave chunks of food.
and yes, the magic bullet is awesome!
