I am going to start purees this week. I have a regular blender that is a pain to clean and a big food processor. What kind of hand blender do you have? I am assuming I will use it long term so I don't mind spending $30-50. Certain attachments or anything especially handy?

I love our Magic Bullet. If I made A roast for the family I would Blend up some meat add a cooked carrot & some juice. It was pretty good.

I have a nutri ninja. It was great for smoothies and purée.

I have a refurbished vitamix. I've had for several years tho. I didn't buy because of the surgery.

Immersion blender.

I also have a Ninja, that I bought years ago. It is a workaholic! Great for smoothies, will grind down any ice or frozen fruit that you throw at it. I plan on using it to puree foods after surgery.

your mouth, its free. chew chew chew chew chew chew chew

That doesn't work for the pureed stage to my knowledge...

worked for me, couldnt stand the pureed food so i just chewed a whole bunch

I use my NINJA for everything from pureeing frozen fruit for my protein to soups and veggies for my son.

There's a new Ninja product I've got in my cart ready to buy...it's called the Ultra Prep. Here's a link --> Ninja Ultra Prep Here's what the advert mainly boasts about, The Ninja^® Ultra Prep^™ is the ultimate food and drink maker. Driven by three interchangeable blades and a 700-watt power pod, it can easily switch from blender to food processor to dough mixer, and deliver incredible results.

I bought the Nija Chopper. It was 19.99 at our local target!

Immersion blending stick. It's easy to use and easy to clean. It's also compact to store.
