You probably already have all the kitchen appliances and tools you need to make homemade baby food. If all you have is a blender, freezer bags, and ice cube trays then you are in business. There are other tools that will help as well. These items are as follows:
Food Mill - A hand-turned mill purees the food and removes seeds and skin. This product is great for green beans and corn.
Baby Food Processor
Steamer - A good multi-tiered steamer that will allow you to cook several different foods at the same time is a great investment.
Blender or food processor - These appliances are useful for pureeing both large and small quantities.
Portable Baby Food Mills & Food Grinders - There are a few items out on the market such as the Kidco Manual Food Mill and The Wean Machine that will enable you to make homemade baby food wherever you are! These tools are great because you do not need electricity, they are very lightweight and portable, and you can serve food to your baby directly from the unit.
Quart Size Freezer Bags - You will need Quart sized freezer bags for storing frozen food cubes. The quart size works great because they are easier to make room for in the freezer. Gallon size bags are also sufficient for larger batches.
Freezing Trays - This can consist of inexpensive ice cube trays or trays specifically designed for storing baby food with lids. Feel free to use whatever works best for you.
Labels & Markers - You will need labels and/or permanent markers to label your bags. Use your color printer to make fancy food labels for your bags for more fun or if you are giving your baby frozen baby food to someone as a gift.
You don't have to spend a ton of money on fancy gadgets and appliances. However, many of the products available today can cut down on time spent in the kitchen making baby food. Use whatever suits you and your budget and be creative! Homemade baby food is by far one of the best things that you could give to your baby. It tastes better, is more nutritious, and hassle-free to make!

Cuisinart DLC-1BCH Mini-Prep Processor, Black Chrome Overview
Cuisinart continues to outshine the competition! The lustrous finish of the new Black Chrome Series is reminiscent of rich, dark, liquid silver. It's unique, elegant, and perfect way to dress up even the most sophisticated kitchens.Cuisinart DLC-1BCH Mini-Prep Processor, Black Chrome Specifications
The Cuisinart Mini-Prep food processor stands 8 inches tall and just over 4 inches wide, but don't let the size fool you. The base houses a motor so powerful that you need to stabilize it with one hand when using the high setting to whip up a strawberry-banana smoothie for one in less than a minute. The clear plastic prep bowl locks into place with a simple twist, while the blades can be set sharp side up for chopping onions or grating Parmesan cheese, or turned blunt side up for making walnut pesto or whipping up chocolate frosting. The set includes a spatula and a cleaning brush to remove coffee grounds. For best results, cut ingredients into small, even pieces--about 1/2-inch square or so works well. In general, use the sharp-edge approach for low speed and the blunt side of the blades for high speed. If you need to run the motor for longer than one minute, pause and begin again. The bowl, cover, and blade assembly can all be run through the dishwasher, but watch your fingers when dissembling the machine, as the blades are extremely sharp. --Irene Svete
