I have 2 of these and LOVE them. I use them for coffee grinding, smoothie making, finely chopping or grinding nuts and foods for cookie making. (they do not do well with raisins or dried cranberries or the likes). I take mine camping and use them at home as well.I think theses are my favorite quick prep machines. You’re lucky to get them for so cheap, I have paid more for mine.I totally suggest getting this if you can. If you had a baby in the home to make a fast meal for them by steaming fresh foods in the microwave or on stove top for 3-5 minutes and then puree for infants, pulse for toddlers depending on how much bite you want them to get.
Nice, Mary. Thanks for sharing! :)
