You don't need a hand blender to make baby food !? Pros and cons of using it [Home appliances review] -Home appliances Watch

I had a baby in August 2020 and started baby food from the age of 5 months. I thought that baby food = hand blender would be used, so I bought Braun's "Multiquick 5 MQ535" at that time. However, when looking at making baby food, we often see the theory that a hand blender is unnecessary.

Many opinions as unnecessary groups are "a strainer and a tea strainer are enough" and "it is troublesome to wash". I was worried that I wouldn't use the good one I bought, but the conclusion was that I bought it and it was the correct answer. It's not a perfect score of 100, but I'm generally satisfied, so I'd like to introduce how convenient it was for baby food.

The MQ535 I purchased comes with a blender that crushes and mixes ingredients, a chopper for chopping, and a whisk. The driving speed is a simple specification that can be switched between "normal / turbo". The price is 7,680 yen, and it is positioned as a standard model in the Multi Quick series.

There are many types of Braun hand blenders, including those that can adjust the driving speed in 21 steps, those that can adjust the speed with the gripping force, and many attached attachments.

This time, I mainly made baby food, so it's enough to have a blender and a chopper for the attachment. I decided to use "MQ535" because I thought that the rotation speed of the blade would be sufficient in two steps. The price is less than 8,000 yen, which is reasonable compared to the high-end model that exceeds 10,000 yen.
