I have one year old twins and the food prep duo has done a great job with steaming veggies quickly so they can be pureed. It's seriously so much faster than my old school method of using a steamer on top of boiling water in a sauce pan. It's also convenient that the blender is right next to it, but the blender fell a bit short of my expectations. Ultimately, I got it to puree but it takes a LONG time, particularly because you're only supposed to blend for up to five seconds at a time. It took a really long time to get a whole sweet potato blended.
