A micro puree machine including a housing, a power shaft, a bowl assembly and a platform. The power shaft extends from the housing. The bowl assembly including at least one locking bowl element. The platform includes at least one complementary locking platform element that is configured to engage the at least one locking bowl element such that rotation of the bowl assembly relative to the platform is prevented at times the bowl assembly is positioned thereon. The platform is rotatable from a first position to a second position relative to the housing such that the platform raises the bowl assembly towards the power shaft during the rotation of the bowl assembly and platform. The raising of the bowl assembly facilitates connection between the power shaft and a blade assembly that is positioned in a lid assembly on the bowl assembly.

A kitchen device (10), the kitchen device (10) including: a base (12) having a motor (58); a vessel assembly (14) removably mounted on the base (12), the vessel assembly (14) having: a vessel (16) providing a space (36) to receive ingredients to be processed; a blade assembly (38) at least partly located in the space (36) and drivable by the motor (58) to process the ingredients, the blade assembly (38) also projecting outwardly from the vessel (16) to provide for driving engagement by the motor (58); and a collar (40) to engage the blade assembly (38) and secure the blade assembly (38) to the vessel (16), the collar (40) being movable relative to the vessel (16) between a release position allowing removal of the blade assembly (38) from the vessel (16) and a securing position fixing the blade assembly (38) to the vessel (16); the kitchen device (10) further including a sensor mechanism (39) to detect, when the vessel assembly (14) is mounted on the base (12), whether the collar (40) is in the securing position, wherein the motor (58) is only operable when the sensor mechanism (39) detects that the collar (40) is in the securing position.

An electrically operated kitchen appliance includes at least two functional elements for performing a function of the kitchen appliance and has a receiving region for holding a preparation vessel. The receiving region has an electrical interface with electrical contact elements that are electrically connected to a functional element of the kitchen appliance, and establish an electrically conductive connection to corresponding contact elements of a preparation vessel, which is connected to the receiving region. The kitchen appliance has a switch-over device, which is assigned to the electrical contact elements and which changes a connection assignment between the electrical contact elements of the kitchen appliance and the functional elements of the kitchen appliance in such a way that after the actuation of the switch-over device, a functional element is connected to a different electrical contact element than prior to the actuation of the switch-over device.

An adapter for use with a blender to accommodate disposable cups.

A container (32) includes a sealable body including a chamber (42), at least one opening formed in the sealable body, and a vacuum sealing assembly (52) mounted to the sealable body adjacent at least one opening. The vacuum sealing assembly (52) includes a valve (60) and a mechanism (70) moveable between a first position that maintains the valve (60) in a sealing engagement with at least one opening and a second position that removes the valve (60) from the sealing engagement or exposes the valve (60) for removal from the sealing engagement.

A baking attachment for a kitchen appliance has an outer container with inner walls enclosing a receiving compartment and an insertion opening on an upper side. A preparation container is arranged in the receiving compartment. A heating device is provided in an intermediate space between a base and side walls of the preparation container and inner walls of outer container. A mixing and kneading mechanism and a cover for the insertion opening are provided. The outer container detachably inserts into a receiving section of the kitchen appliance base. A free end of a rotary shaft of the mixing and kneading mechanism arranged in a connection section has a first coupling section for rotationally fixed connection to a second coupling section on a drive shaft of the kitchen appliance base. Electrical contact elements of the heating device in the connection section detachable connect to electrical contacts of a kitchen appliance base.

A blending system is disclosed herein. The blending system may comprise a blender base, a container and a blending volume reduction device. The blending volume reduction device may be removably inserted into the container of the blender system at various positions. The positions may alter the working volume of the container when the blending volume reduction device is inserted in the container.

A device for the processing of liquids and/or solids includes a disposable layer adapted to shield a working surface from coming into contact with, and being fouled by, the processed liquids and/or solids, and apparatus suitable to apply a negative pressure in a gap between the disposable layer and the working surface, thereby causing the disposable layer to adhere to the working surface.
