The application is really simple:. Vegetable o fruit cut into cubes (roughly enough) and into the unit, close lid, container turn in Garstellung, water in the tank fill (amount of water determines the cooking time, using the supplied measuring cup foolproof) , dial in Garstellung when the Dampfgarwasser is all beeps the device dial to the center position (OFF), container turn in Mixstellung, lid open, a little oil purely for Vitaminchen (please nich in fruit ;-)) cover druff, again, dial in Blender position (when you release the button jumps in center position), depending on the duration and frequency of mixing everything goes from superschlotzig up lumps, pour into plastic cups (goes great with the supplied spatula) -.> READY
The experience that it is only for one serving right, I can not share. It is sufficient at maximum fill for exactly 2 large AVENT Mug. Sure that's nothing for cooking stock, which we have also done this in order. The strength of the part is just in the fresh preparation. We do, for example, a morning porridge for lunch u. The second portion is in the refrigerator for the next day.
One thing is clear: Steam cooking is the vitamin-preserved cooking method and it's really easy.. And it tastes great! Who especially in vegetable purée times comparing zwischem home cooked has u buying glass dared. Who knows what I mean (Ugh ugh!).
Applesauce is the way really well in the device. Superfine u. Delicious. So if you have lying around from time to time one or two apples that would otherwise rot, which can make tasty in no time from applesauce.
Cleaning is also easy: all parts are dishwasher safe, but also by hand very easily washable.
Two small criticisms:
Turning around the container after steaming must be a bit careful that you do not scald the fingers. You have to turn it afloat halt.
And the device evaporated when steaming but well upwards, so that a site could under a top cabinet eventually lead to damage furniture.
The mixer is very noisy. However, it is much quieter, if you make the mix immediately after steaming. No idea why.
Overall, a top product, which is a good idea not only on paper is good, but also in reality. We take the device with you everywhere, it has become even more important than the Breichen-water-heater.

Addendum on 04/02/2013:
Now we have the part for almost 3 years and it furnished the meantime my niece and daughter now # 2. Everything works like the first day, even the puree, and the porridge tastes of children. Certainly the transparent container is scratched by the many stays in the dishwasher and milky looking, but that does not detract from the good function and was also predictable.
Conclusion: Long-term test also passed.
