I assume thats what they call them! Or maybe Stick mixers? Anyhoo I want opinions on diff brands and whether or not this will be ideal for muling/mashing homemade veges!
So my questions are: What do you use? Brand,type of machine etc etc How much did it cost & where did you buy it from? Is it easy to clean? The more information the better so I can make a well informed decision 
Lucas is a fussy bugger, he generally won't touch homemade veges (whether its made by myself, 'Nana' or even his Great Grandma) ...he HAS to see the can/jar or else. I'm putting a stop to it now, its too expensive and I want to make the food I feed him! Tough love... So help anyone? ------------- Single Mum to a darling wee boy of 3 years :) |

When I had Ella I just used a cheap $12 one from The Warehouse!
It was very basic but it did the trick and was used a lot! It lasted me about 3 years until it just stopped going. 3 years use for only $12 was pretty good value for money I thought, lol! ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

I have a magic bullet which I used (and still do all the time). Got it brand new off TM for about $56 - awesome deal and awesome product! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

PS: Stick it in a used baby food jar when you have made it! Try to trick him! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I'm a hard ass. I wouldn't bother with trying to trick, I'd lay down the law and say if he doesn't wanna eat home made stuff then tough!
That's what I had to do when all Hannah would eat was dessert. Argh. (Don't even ask how I got to that point in the first place!  )
Any old one will do. I have/had a good one from the Warehouse I think? It fell apart the other day after 3 years of constant use though!! hehe |
