Does any mommy's out there know what kind of hand blender is good for blending up baby food. I was looking at cuisinart products but im not sure. I need something that will blend meat, vegetables and rice so that the food is safe enough for my 10mon ld daughter can eat . She doesn't have any teeth so i need something that will work.
Get a food mill. They grind food down, not to a paste, but to small pieces. Some even have interchangable disks so you can have bigger or smaller sized pieces. We have a Rosle, that costs about $120. Its really good. But, OXO makes one as well, thats only about $50, and is almost as good. I've tried the Munchkin Baby Food Grinder, and I thought it was a piece of junk. It didn't work well, leaks, has lots of small parts, and really only works on food that's already soft.

you should actually get her into a dentist about the teeth
most kids her age have at least a few teeth
try a magic bullet style blender then you can blend more types of foods

KITCHEN AID makes a great hand held stick blender and it is easy to wash! It's what I have and what I used to make my son's baby food when he was an infant.

my daughter had a single tooth at that age, but ate finger foods exclusively. you don't need to blend her food, her gums are hard enough that soft chunks are perfectly fine.
but, a food mill / grinder is great, imo. i used one of those.
