 compared to the KidCo food mill |
| Review Date: June 5, 2010 |
| Reviewer: A. Richter, |
I prefer this in almost all ways to the KidCo food mill of similar shape and function. (This is not to say the KidCo is a bad product. I simply prefer the Green Sprouts one. The one reason I can see for the KidCo might be if your baby is just starting solid foods, and this is because the KidCo has smaller holes in the grinding surface and hence makes food slightly less textured. The KidCo also came with an extra gasket, and some versions come with a carrying case.)
Pros of the Green Sprouts:
--Bigger overall, meaning more room in the base to fill with food and more room in the bowl for milled food. It also has a 'pour' spout on the bowl.
--Easier to understand. The Green Sprouts directions were longer and clearer.
--Easier to use. The KidCo is stiffer and harder to push down and harder to turn.
--Easier to disassemble. The KidCo is a pain in the rear to get apart. I often have to jam a toothpick in one of the holes in the grate to get the top to unscrew. By comparison, I just tighten the easy-turn knob on the Green Sprouts' central post and then unscrew the top.
--Easier to clean. I frequently have to painstakingly use a toothpick to poke food out of the tiny holes in the grate on the KidCo. With the Green Sprouts the holes are bigger and food rinses right out.
--Stainless steel both on the turning part that crushes the food and on the grate that the food squishes through.
(As for the reviewer who had this 'explode'... it must either be a fluke or she was grinding counterclockwise instead of clockwise. I have never had that problem with this mill, nor do I see how it would even be possible.)
Keep in mind that this isn't a blender and food will end up a bit textured. But for what it claims to do, the Green Sprouts carries through 100%. |
Great baby food maker

| My wife purchased this food mill for our 8-month old daughter and it has been a great baby food maker. It is very user-friendly, and my wife likes the fact that the blade part is made of metal. This food mill does not puree food completely; there are small chunks of food, and it has not been an issue. This perhaps may be the perfect product to make foods for those babies who are in-between eating stages. It works wonderfully with pasta, fruits, vegetables, etc. The only downside is that it leaks when we grind fruits and vegetables. We have had to place a plate underneath the mill to collect the liquids. Overall, it is a great product, and I would recommend to other parents with young babies. It is also very easy to clean. We are not tree-huggers but it is nice to know that we are not adding harmful chemicals to our baby's food. |
Nice product

| This is great for that inbetween stage..when needed more than pureed food but not enought teeth to do chunky food. Nice and portable to take when eating out.. |
Easy to use, doesn't quite puree

| This food mill doesn't make food really smooth, which you might want if your child is under 6 months, but it does a great job with quickly mashing foods provided they are cooked well to begin with. It does seem to separate out thick skins or pieces of a vegetable that are too hard for a baby to eat, but it's not perfect in this regard (ie. with a sweet potato, I've found bits of skin that made it into the mash, though for the most part, the skin was separated). Overall, I've found it very useful to make small amounts of food, especially while traveling. It looks great, is very easy to clean, and kinda fun to use. But if you're looking for a smooth puree, this is not going to cut it for you. |
Works great!!

| I really like this product and I use it often. I've used it for raw bananas and avocados and for cooked carrots and sweet potatoes. I would say it gets food a little finer than mashing it with a fork, which is just right for my 6 month old baby. Baby food does not have to be super pureed. If I have only a small amount of food, I just use a fork since it's quicker, but to puree the whole sweet potatoe/avocado or whatever I would use the mill. Please read the instructions and follow them. I have never had 'an explosion' like another reviewer said. |
