Infomercial sucker.
I am a tad gullible when it comes to the highly polished, 30 minute advert that sells Wonder Product^tm. I need help.
I have a seven month old and need to start making sludge more frequently to feed him.
I have been drawn towards the MagicBullet. Please, somebody, talk me out of spending my hard earned cash on more tat.

Your ideas intrigue me,
I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

it's a weekly publication
with a standard cost of one litre of vodka.
bacardi is also acceptable.

If you already have a blender or food processor make loads and freeze the
Resulting mush into ice cube trays so that it can be used over a long period of time and in easily adjustable volumes to suit. You'll spend a lot less time cleaning kitchen equipment. Magic bullets are actually quite good but only for small portions or curry mixes etc.

we have a hand blender
and the wife would like a full on food processor. I think I could get a magic bullet for £30 which would be significantly less than any food processor.
I'm leaming towards it, still.

£30 ??
That's a lot of money for something that shows up frequently at yard (boot) sales. Get the missus to chew up an extra portion at each meal and spit it out.

Apologies if I've misunderstood,
but are you planning to off your child?

MagicBullet sounds like a sextoy to me.
I was completely off target.

Whichever it is,
I don't see this ending well.

your all perverted.
Which I shouldn't be too suprised by.
It's not one of those MagicBullets (I don't know why I've taken to writting it that way) of which we have a couple. Those in the know, will have realised I wasn't talking about them as the topic is Crap Gadgets. That said, the infomercial was something special. ;)

Awww
You know us so well. Can you feel the love?

Google says it might be a blender,
which I suppose is slightly cheaper than a chest freezer and a hatchet, for small corpse disposal purposes.

Serious reply...(sorry everyone)
Don't make mush.

It's a lot of work, it's tedious, and it's daft.
We have a (now) 10 month old and the mushiest thing we've ever fed him is the mashed potato he pinched off our very own plates when we were having soss'n'mash.
He eats grapes, banana, pate on toast, cheese, sausages, fishcakes, beef jerky, peas, carrots, noodles, broccoli. In short everything that we eat as adults he joins in with.
To start with the broccoli was steamed until v soft, the carrots boiled a little longer than we'd usually do them and the chilli left out of the noodle stirfy, but now he's ready, willing and able to get his wee teeth into anything we put infront of him.

His cousin, now nearly two, won't eat anything that's not pushed into his mouth on a spoon and utterly refuses to even consider things that need biting as food.

Wee babies don't require mush. They do need food that's softish until they get their fangs but it doesn't need to be pulped.

Even better, if they eat solid food they learn to chew before they learn to swallow lumps. If fed mush, they learn swallowing first and then the first bite of properly solid food is a major choking hazard.

Also This

End serious.
