I've been using this device primarily for achieving the small pots of my baby ... Steaming (quantity for 6-7 pots at once), and hop with the cooking water, you mix everything and direction freezer for pots that will not be eaten right away! Frankly I'm glad to have invested in this one and not in a "babyco * k" such as this allows for a good tour and freeze without stepping out 50 things! There's more QuĂ test kitchens for mom & dad this winter ... :)
