I purchased this blender after reading reviews for it on a different site. Not only does it chop ice well for smoothies, but it is great at pureeing baby food. It is also easy to clean. This blender is used at least once a day in my house. I love this blender!!

I have really enjoyed using this product. I need to have easy-to-eat foods, so I started using blenders and a food processor to puree meals. What a pain, and the clean-up!! Don't get me started. This Cuisinart has saved the day. I fill it with the food I want to puree, add the liquid (needs more than you think) and then pulse. First on low, then high. I may take it off an shake it, and then run a bit more, occasionally I will run without pulsing for 30 secs. or so. Its fast!! It makes a smooth puree, better than my blender, better than my food processor and much quicker. Then I put the black top on the cup and viola, ready to eat. No other dishes needed. The clean up is easy -- just rinse the blade and put the top and cup in the dishwasher. There are plenty of cups and tops, so if I want to make another flavor or a side, I use another cup. This has been indispensable for me to eat regular food--the same food I make for my family, pureed. When I want hot items, I can put the cup in the microwave before or after blending, which makes it so much easier than a blender. For my needs this is perfect. I haven't used the grinding blade yet.
I'm having fun making great puree recipes...so much so, I'm thinking I should publish a book on them, or at least share with friends who are recovering and need easy to digest foods, or easy to eat foods.

Wilton 2105-4923 24-Cavity Silicone Brownie-Squares Baking Mold Review

I originally posted a 1-star review of this item: I followed the directions precisely, but all the brownies stuck like glue!. Based on the great reviews and Amazon reputation, however, I stupidly threw away the packing list and box, never dreaming I would need to return it. My fault, totally. I posted my review and also sent a note to Amazon telling them they might want to review the product themselves as it was a complete failure. I got a very nice note back insisting that I had gotten a faulty set and they send me an RMA to return what I had and they immediately sent replacements. I was VERY skeptical, but I made another batch --AND THEY CAME OUT BEAUTIFULLY! The only difference between the two batches: the original was made per the instructions using Pam cooking spray (I used butter flavored); the second (successful) batch was made using Pam for Baking (it includes flour in the spray). Whether is was that or the original pans were somehow defective, I don't know. Amazon, however, has reaffirmed my faith in GREAT customer service. I absolutely did not expect them to do anything for me, I just wanted them to look into the product. I am so glad they "went the extra mile," though, because these pans make perfect little bite-size brownies. I use a #60 scoop to put the batter in, and 1 box of mix makes two trays. They are so popular I may have to buy two more trays. Way to go, Amazon! You turned a disappointing situation into a winner!

Enjoy the chewy texture and delicious taste of freshly baked brownies with this fun-to-use baking mold. Comprised of 24 individual cavities, each measuring 1-1/2 inches wide by 3/4 inches deep, the innovative unit sizes down the traditionally dessert-portioned treats into bite-sized squares--perfect for birthday parties, dessert buffets, holiday gatherings, and other special-occasion or everyday events. Furthermore, the versatile mold can also be used to shape handcrafted chocolate squares, make individual petits fours, or mold perfect squares of gelatin.
Crafted from durable, food-grade silicone, the baking mold's flexible design ensures quick, effortless release of its contents--no more chiseling around the crusty edges created by standard metal and glass bakeware. Even more, it can safely go from freezer to microwave or oven (up to 500 degrees F) without buckling or shattering. For best results, grease each indentation with cooking spray or solid vegetable shortening prior to baking. Place the mold onto a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan for level baking and easy removal from the oven, and fill each indentation about one-half to two-thirds full (one pre-packaged brownie mix for 8-by-8-inch pans yields 40 to 42 brownie bites). Dishwasher-safe for fast and hassle-free cleanup between uses, the brownie-squares baking mold measures approximately 8-2/5 by 13-1/5 by 4/5 inches.

Annabel Karmel Freeze Cube Tray Review

Annabel Karmel Freeze Cube Tray

I really wanted to love these little trays. I'm doing all homemade baby food for my youngest child and really wanted a good system for safely and neatly freezing and storing batches of purees. I liked the look of these and was glad to see they came with a lid (NOT airtight, but better than nothing) for easy stacking in the freezer and for limiting the food's exposure to air. I ordered two. BOTH of those original two arrived with tiny (pinhead size) holes in them, one in each tray, as well as a pencil-eraser sized weak spot, where the silicon was thinner, in one section of one of the trays. Amazon has some of the best customer service around and made the exchange for two more super easy, even upgrading me free of charge to next day shipping so I'd have them quick. The next two that arrived were perfect, at least in terms of being hole free. I made a batch of puree and tried them out...when it came time for popping the frozen cubes out to store in freezer bags, I was disappointed to find that they didn't really "pop" out at all. In fact, they were stuck pretty fast in there. It took running the bottom of the tray under warm water to release them. That isn't so much extra effort, but I had really hoped that the silicon would just release the cubes cleanly without any trouble so that I could keep the entire amount totally frozen until needed.
I haven't tried any other baby food storage trays, so I have nothing to compare these to. I question whether they'll hold up well over the long term and I hope that they will. I do like their form factor and it is great to have something I know won't leach chemicals or something in my baby's food. I love the convenience of grabbing a few cubes from the freezer to microwave for baby's dinner--just as easy as opening a jar from the store and a lot cheaper & better for baby.
In conclusion: If you decide to give these a try, inspect your trays thoroughly for holes and weak spots before using. In something that stores pureed food or liquid, hole = MESS. And if you have a baby, you probably have enough of those to deal with already. Also expect to have to dunk the bottom or run it under warm water to release the cubes.
EDIT 3/14/11: Well, I've been using these trays regularly for a number of months and they've held up well. Not only that, but I've discovered that letting the frozen trays sit on the counter just 5 minutes or so makes popping the cubes out a snap! Changing my rating to 4 stars.
