The actual helicopter. It’s pretty simple to put together. The container is placed on the bottom, followed by the blade assembly and cover. Other than positioning the container such that the semicircle matches the one on the base, there is no twisting or fitting required. Disassembling and cleaning are both simple processes. It’s so simple that I find myself utilizing it all the time.
I’ve never prepared baby food. But I have blended a number of items. I don’t anticipate you encountering any issues.
I’ve made a lot of smoothies with this, including ones with frozen fruit and SMALL bits of ice! Worked VERY well!
In my opinion. It reduces objects to any size you choose.
I would never use this processor/chopper to cut ice because it is so cheap.
Yes. For the crust, I ground Graham Crackers. Additionally, almonds were quickly processed into almond flour. Although it’s quick and simple, you can only complete a tiny portion at once.
