Proposed is a blender in which regardless of the mounting direction of a container lid, the closing of the container lid is accurately recognized. The blender includes a container body in which food is received, a main body provided under the container body and configured to support the container body, the container lid mounted detachably to an upper surface of the container body and configured to open and close the upper surface of the container body, and a detection system configured to detect whether the container lid is mounted to the container body, wherein the detection system includes a permanent magnet and a Hall sensor, the permanent magnet and the Hall sensor being provided on the container lid and a side of the container body, respectively, or the Hall sensor and the permanent magnet being provided on the container lid and a side of the container body, respectively.

A machine (1) has: a tank (10) having a cavity (10′) for containing and processing a batch of liquid food substance; a stirring tool (15) in the cavity (10′) having a stirring surface (151) for imparting a mechanical effect on said food substance in the cavity (10′) to froth the food substance; an actuator configured to rotate the stirring tool (15) in the cavity (10); and a control unit configured to control the actuator so that the rotational speed of the stirring tool (15) is changeable. The control unit has a mode in which the actuator is controlled by the control unit so that: during a first phase (501) of processing the batch, the stirring tool (15) is rotated below a low frothing rotational speed (511); and thereafter during a second phase (502) of processing said batch, the rotational speed (512) of the stirring tool (15) is increased from the low frothing rotational speed (511) to above a high frothing rotational speed (513); and thereafter during a third phase (503) of processing said batch, the stirring tool (15) is rotated above the high frothing rotational speed (513).

A beverage container for a blender includes one or more vibrating mechanisms coupled to a bottom portion of the beverage container or integrated within one or more walls of the beverage container. After a beverage has been blended, the one or more vibrating mechanisms are activated as the beverage is being poured. Vibrations from the one or more vibrating mechanisms are mechanically transmitted to the beverage container, thereby promoting the pourability of the beverage from the beverage container, including dislodging ingredients in the beverage that became lodged or trapped in crevices of the beverage container during the prior blending process, and freeing up beverage ingredients that accumulated at the bottom of the beverage container during the prior blending process.

The invention relates to a food treatment apparatus, comprising a frame, a treatment chamber apt to receive a treatment tool and a feed channel formed by side walls with an open side for inserting food. A pushing device is configured to be inserted within the feed channel to press food towards the treatment tool. The pushing device comprises a pusher support lever pivotally movable relative to the frame around a pivot axis and a pusher rod slidably coupled to the pusher support lever to slide along a sliding axis. Side walls are configured to allow the pusher support lever to be rotated around the pivot axis and at the same time to allow the pusher rod to be translated along said sliding axis while the pushing device is moved from an open position towards a closed position.
