The CLEAN button is the main mode. It automatically heats, cooks, and blends your ingredients in one cycle. That's it. No need to adjust settings or pick different modes. The machine is designed to be simple.

You can, but frozen works best. Frozen vegetables cook more evenly in the machine and produce a smoother texture. Fresh vegetables require more water and may result in watery puree. Frozen is also fresher since it's frozen at peak nutrition.

Completely. The Elara container is made from 304-grade stainless steel—the same food-safe material used in professional kitchens. There's zero plastic inside. No chemicals leach into the food, no toxic coatings, nothing but pure stainless steel and your ingredients. Your baby gets exactly what you put in, nothing more.

The same CLEAN button that cooks your food also cleans the machine. Just fill it with water and a drop of soap, press CLEAN, and it boils and sanitizes itself automatically. No scrubbing, no hand washing, no disassembly. Total cleanup time: under 5 minutes.

The CLEAN cycle is quiet enough to run while your baby naps or while you're in another room. It's not silent, but it's definitely not disruptive. Many parents run it in the morning while having coffee.

It's optimized for baby purees, but you could technically make soups, smoothies, or other pureed foods. However, it's specifically designed with baby food texture and nutrition in mind, so that's where it shines.

The machine is compact and designed for kitchen counters or cabinets. It's roughly the size of a coffee maker—not huge, but not tiny either. Check the dimensions on our product page to compare with your space.

Yes. The safety switch automatically activates whenever the lid is opened, preventing the motor from running. This means your curious toddler or baby can't accidentally start the machine. You're completely protected from accidental injuries or the motor running while the lid is off.

Very smooth. The 10 stainless steel blades are engineered to create a perfectly smooth, creamy puree that babies love. The texture is ideal for babies 7-9 months old—soft enough to swallow safely, with no chunks or lumps. It's smooth enough that your baby won't choke, but textured enough for their developing palate.
