Baby Bullet Turbo Food Steamer
7.3/10 overall£34.52
A steamer and blender system from Baby Bullet, sized and designed specifically for batch-cooking baby food.
The verdict
The Baby Bullet Turbo Food Steamer (NutriBullet), around £35, is a blend-only system with a 200W motor and included date-dial storage cups, for batch-cooking food you steam, boil or microwave separately. It stays useful well past weaning as a general small blender, but requires a separate cooking step and its motor struggles with tougher raw or fibrous ingredients.
This is the batch-cooking answer to the Babycook's cook-fresh approach: cook a large batch of vegetables, meat or fruit however suits you (hob, oven, steamer, microwave), then blend it in the NutriBullet's short-cup jar and portion it straight into the included date-dial storage cups for the freezer. It's less hands-off per meal but far better suited to a weekend batch-cooking session that covers a whole week.
Because it's a genuine small blender rather than a dedicated baby appliance, it also keeps being useful well past weaning — smoothies, sauces, small blending jobs — which the single-purpose Babycook doesn't offer once your toddler moves to family meals.
The main downside against the Babycook is the extra step: you must cook the food separately before this can blend it, and the motor, while adequate for soft cooked food, struggles with tougher raw or fibrous ingredients the way a full-size blender wouldn't.

Frequently asked questions
How does the NutriBullet baby blender work?+
You cook a large batch of vegetables, meat or fruit however suits you (hob, oven, steamer, microwave), then blend it in the short-cup jar and portion it straight into the included date-dial storage cups for the freezer — well suited to a weekend batch-cooking session covering a whole week.
Does the NutriBullet steam food like the Babycook?+
No — it has no steaming function built in, so food must be cooked separately first before this can blend it, unlike the Beaba Babycook which steams and blends in the same jug without needing a second appliance.
Is the NutriBullet baby blender useful after weaning ends?+
Yes — because it's a genuine small blender rather than a dedicated baby appliance, it keeps being useful for smoothies, sauces and other small blending jobs well past weaning, which the single-purpose Babycook doesn't offer once your toddler moves onto family meals.
Can the NutriBullet baby blender handle raw or fibrous ingredients?+
Its motor is adequate for soft cooked food but struggles with tougher raw or fibrous ingredients the way a full-size blender wouldn't, so it works best paired with food that's already been fully cooked and softened first.
