Baby food makers streamline the process by letting you toss in the ingredients you want and having the machine do the rest of the work. Make no mistake: These things are a luxury, and you can achieve the same results, albeit with more effort, by using a regular immersion blender. But the best all-in-one baby food makers are all about efficiency. To steal a phrase from pitch-man Ron Popeil, they let you set it and forget it. You then freeze the food (the Cleveland Clinic recommends keeping it in the freezer for no more than a month), and thaw it when the next dinner rolls around. Efficiency comes with a price, however. If you want to shell out for that efficiency — or put one of these models on your baby registry — here are the best baby food makers on the market. Bon appetit.
