Great for letting baby try new foods

This foodmill has been great as we've tried to introduce the foods we eat to our baby, before she's ready for big bites of anything. It catches any undesirable or potentially hazardous food parts (skins, peels, tough husks, etc.) so that all the baby gets are nice litle nibbles of easily chewable food. At Thanksgiving, we were able to pop in bites of turkey, green beans and other goodies and she enjoyed them with the rest of us. It takes the worry out of whether I'm giving my baby bites of something she may choke on. The only thing I don't like about this product is that it's kind of a pain to pop the grinding disk out when done so that you can clean it. I think it's a design flaw that I have to stick a knife in the slots and pry the disk out. I even went to a store that sells this product to find out if I was doing something wrong. I was told "no", that "this is a great product that's been around for a long time, but has no trick to taking it apart easily." I have no idea whether other manual foodmills are made differently and are easier to take apart. That aside, this is still a great product.

Didn't work for me

I am VERY disappointed with this product. It worked the first two times I tried it, with an apple and a pear. I tried it again this morning with an apple and couldn't get it to grate the apple at all. I think the blade has dulled... Anyway, I am thoroughly unimpressed and will be returning it.

Very handy for the baby who wants table food

So far I've tried this mill with soft foods such as ravioli and diced chicken and it works very well. Some other reviewers have complained that the user has to push too hard. I imagine that this is because they started with pieces that were too big. Cut up whatever you're milling and it should work just fine. The strap on the carrying case was difficult to attach but since it's so small it's hardly useful anyway.
