Chef Handy is building baby solutions that meet customer needs, but to keep it budget-friendly they use plastic.
Key Takeaways
- Multi-functional products are nice
- Baby bottle warmers in the bedroom are convenient
- Tools that grow as your baby grows are ideal
- Plastic is cheap but not a great way to warm food
I was digging more into the baby bottle sector and found a company called Chef Handy. I know there are a lot of companies that make baby products for the kitchen and some that are more conscious of plastics than others but this was the first one that caught my attention.
There were three products from Chef Handy that I looked into
Multi-Functional Products Are Nice
What I love about all three products is that they are multi-purpose. All three have the capability to heat up a bottle for a baby but they have a multitude of other settings as well. It would really be a waste of space, especially in the kitchen to have a gadget that only does one job.
Baby Bottle Warmers in the Bedroom are Convenient
The 7-in-1 Fast Baby Bottle Warmer seems particularly well suited for a nursery because most of its other functionalities are to double as a night light.
If I were to purchase from Chef Handy, I would probably buy both the 7-in-1 Fast Baby Bottle Warmer and one of the Baby Food Makers. That way the bottle warmer could stay in the nursery and the food maker would stay in the kitchen.
Tools That Grow As Your Baby Grows Are Ideal
I enjoy that both of the baby food makers have multiple purposes. Both include a back section to warm a bottle while your baby is young and then will enable you to steam and puree food as they develop their eating chops.
I think that Chef Handy could take it a step further and build this product out even more to suit the kitchen past the baby phase, but if you are having two or three babies this product will get years of usage.
Plastic is Cheap But Not a Great Way to Warm Food
What makes Chef Handy products great is their affordability and the company’s ability to innovate. Because of the cheap cost of plastic parts, they can still (I think) keep good profit margins while keeping prices fair for the average family. This also allows Chef Handy to get their products out to market faster and react more to customer feedback because the product itself is not as expensive to make, both from a manufacturing standpoint and a material standpoint.
However, as always, I am not a fan of plastic, especially to heat products. If I were to use this I might say away from the steaming functionality for foods and just stick to bottle warming and pureeing.
