LisaS or Newbelly2002, looking for a Baby Cook

[flagger]

I cannot find one of these in the US.

And Amazon UK appears sold out plus they will not ship to the US either. I wonder how I would convert it to use 110 if it is set up for 220.

The link doesn't seem to be working. I'll try it again later. In the meantime, you've got me curious...what is it?

From the description on the link:

"Amazon.co.uk Review
Spend a day with Baby Cook from Berchet and you'll wonder how you ever survived preparing food for your baby without it. The really unique thing about Baby Cook is that it combines a (steam) cooking unit with food processor--all set out to cater for baby-sized portions. It allows you to prepare healthy fresh foods for your baby in less than 15 minutes. Physically it's small, compact and light--fitting easily into a kitchen. It's very simplistic and not cluttered by unnecessary buttons and features. It's made up of one small white electrical base unit with heating compartment, a main food bowl and lid with detachable blades and a cooking/reheating basket.

Baby Cook provides four different functions. Cooking: this is probably the most used function. All cooking is done by steaming--commonly believed to be the healthiest way of cooking--and preserving the maximum vitamin content. To prepare food for your young baby, use the bowl to measure the correct water requirement, which should then be poured into the heating compartment. Add a portion of diced food into the food basket and screw on the lid tightly. Press the yellow button (everything is operated by either the red or yellow button) and let Baby Cook do the rest. Cooking baby-size portions takes approximately 10 minutes. The whole operation including dicing probably takes 15 minutes and at the end you have a healthy portion of fresh vegetables/fruit etc. "

Any electric converter will work to convert it to 110. You can buy converters at any electronics or travel store.

I have seen this in several baby catalogs here - I can't remember off the top of my head which one. But here are a few links to check out (assuming you've already searched Yahoo.co.uk) and contacted Berchet to make sure they're still producing them:

http://www.argos.co.uk (Argos - huge discount store)
http://www.gltc.co.uk (Great Little Trading Company)
http://www.thebabycatalog.com
http://www.jojomamanbebe.co.uk (French catalog)
http://www.mothercare.co.uk (Mothercare - like babies r us but not as big)
http://www.johnlewis.com (big department store)

If I see one in any of my shopping trips, I'll let you know.

Good luck!
