The BÉABA Babycook Plus is the Babycook (in-depth review here), but with twice the capacity and a few additional functions.
Yep, this means that the Babycook Plus is perfect for those having twins, or for busy moms who'd like to prepare their baby's food in large batches.
Main Functions
As you can tell from its name, the BÉABA Babycook Plus is a 4-in-1 steam cooker and blender baby food maker. It steam cooks, blends, defrost and reheats - all in 15 minutes or less.
Yes, you can prepare fruits, vegetables, pasta/grains, meat or fish from raw to any stage baby food you want, from purees to solids, all in 15 minutes.
The patented steam heating system ensures that all vitamins and nutrients are locked in so you can have peace of mind that you are feeding baby only the best.
And while we're on the topic of safety, you will be glad to learn that the water reservoir uses stainless steel and not plastic material, while all other parts and compartments are BPA, Lead and Phthalate free.
Designed in France, it allows an easy, one-hand operation so that you can do batch-cooking or steam two dishes at once.
It has a one-touch open and close function and it will shut off automatically and beep when done.
The 2 large capacity bowls (9.4 cups to be exact) allow you to prepare up to 18 servings of baby food at a time. You can get a few of these freezer storage containers to then store the large batches of pureed food and serve baby on the go.
In terms of accessories, it comes with a mixing lid/smoothie filter, spatula, steam basket and recipe booklet. We find the steam basket to be especially useful as it separates food from the steaming liquid.

Comparison with the Babycook
If you have read our review on the Babycook, you may wonder: what exactly is the difference between the two?
Here is a side-by-side comparison:
| ||
---|---|---|
| ||
CAPACITY | 4.7 cups/ 1.1L | 9.4 cups / 2.2L |
COOKING TIME | 15 mins | 15 mins |
MAIN FUNCTIONS | 4-in-1 steam cook, blend, defrost, reheat | 4-in-1 steam cook, blend, defrost, reheat, one-handed operation, simultaneous/multi-stage cooking |
ACCESSORIES | Recipe booklet, Mixing lid, Spatula, Steam Basket | Recipe booklet, Mixing lid, Spatula, Steam Basket |
As you can see, the two are almost identical in every sense with the biggest difference being the Babycook Plus having double the capacity, and 2 additional main functions.
Also, the Babycook Plus comes in 3 different colours only – Cloud, Gold and White - unlike Babycook which comes in a whopping 7 colour options.
Now with a price difference of $50 between the two, which one should you go for? We will definitely say go for the Babycook Plus if you're having twins, but if that is not the case, then it all comes down to preference.
If you're a stay-at-home mom who'd like to cook fresh each time for your little bub, then the Babycook is sufficient.
On the other hand, if you're a busy working mom, then cooking in large batches then freezing them may be a preferred option in which case the Babycook Plus will be a more ideal option.
The Babycook Plus undoubtedly is more value for money, given you get double the cooking capacity with just an extra $50 but if counter space is an issue, then you will be better off with the Babycook.
