homemade baby food

When I made food for my first, I just used a small food processor and ice cube trays.  It seems like there are at least a few new products since then designed to make DIY baby food easy... does anyone have a rec?  TIA! :)

I have the baby bullet. It was a hand me down. It was convient but for the short amount of time you actually use it. I would not bother purchasing a baby specific food maker.

Get bps free ice cube trays when the food is frozen pop them out into ziplock bags and you all all set.

I think a food processor and ice cube trays is super easy.  I don't want to bother with another baby gadget.

I used a food processor too.  I found that a smaller emersion (stick) blender was also handy for smaller batches, and had a life in the kitchen post the short baby-food-making stage. 

Can't speak to the baby products from personal use, but I heard the Beaba has gotten many bad reviews for mold problems.

I bought the beaba only because I didn't already have a food processor.  I loved it, even brought it with us on a 2 week vacation to Canada.  After awhile, brownish-colored water started leaking out of the bottom.  Other than that, it was absolutely perfect for what i needed.

The baby bullet is pretty much the regular bulket. No need for an extra gadget taking up space in you kitchen

I was considering a Beaba, but I think I will just buy the little cube trays and use my regular food proccesor and steamer.

Check out the Trovolo Silicone trays on amazon! Silicone is one of the safest "plastics" there is, and I love these trays! They're perfect squares and perfect 1oz servings. When everything is frozen I can pop them out and into a freezer bag and all my bags will stack really concisely (is that a word?) and it won't take up a ton of room. I love them
