Making Your Own Baby Food
I will be starting to gather everything to make dd's food.
I really want the Baeba BabyFood Maker, Ive found some great deals on craigslist. Are there any others that work great too?
What is your saving grace for making food?

Re: Making Your Own Baby Food
i was going to buy that until i realized for the same price you can get a decent food processer (unless you dont want to steam seperate) personally i hate clutter and you will only use the baeba for 2-3 months so it seems like a waste to buy it for such a short amount of time. at least a processor you can use for anything.

we are thinking of doing baby lead feeding and skip the purees all together. Im still looking into it

I have the Babycook, and I absolutely love it. It's super easy to use and I can make several batches in less than an hour. I also read those reviews about the mold in the reservoir, and can tell you that this only happens if you leave water in the reservoir after cooking. If you take the lid off the reservoir everytime and let the water evaporate, this won't happen. I've had it for a couple of months now, no mold in sight. That said, it's a good idea to de-scale the machine every now and then (mentioned in the instruction manual).
While I do like having a separate machine to cook baby food (we do have a food processor and blender that we use for adult food) and it's good to keep things separate (in case, for example, we use adult food machines for making things that can be allergenic), I don't know if I would have bought the machine if it hadn't been given to me as a gift. It is expensive and many of the necessary add-ons must be purchased separately (like the ice trays and the beakers for reheating and defrosting). And it's a separate machine that takes up space. If you have the money and space, I say go for it. But if not, these other appliances PPs mentioned also would work well.
