There is provided an apparatus (10) for processing food stuff. The apparatus (10) comprises a container (110) for receiving a food stuff; a food processing unit (120) for processing the food stuff in the container; a force sensor (130) for measuring an operation parameter, and a control unit (140) for operating the food processing unit (120) based on measurements received from the sensor. The sensor is furthermore configured to measure an interaction with the apparatus by a user. The control unit is configured to receive measurements of the user interaction from the sensor (130) and process the received measurements to determine if a predetermined user interaction or a predetermined user interaction pattern corresponding to a user input command has been performed by the user.

A system for attaching a blender container to a blade assembly, which comprises a first mechanism to secure a blender container to a blade assembly. Some embodiments of the system include a second latch mechanism to lock the blender container to the blade assembly while the container and blade assembly are mounted to a base for operation of the blender.

A system includes a container platform configured to receive a container, a blade assembly and a blade actuator for rotating blades of the blade assembly, a blade platform, and a platform actuator for moving the blade platform between a blade engagement position and a container engagement position. A processor is configured to cause the platform actuator to move the blade platform, prior to a first actuation of the blade actuator, from the container engagement position to the blade engagement position, to cause the first actuation, to cause the platform actuator to move the blade platform towards the container engagement position, to cause the blade platform to return to the blade engagement position, to cause a second actuation of the blade actuator, and to cause the platform actuator to return the blade platform to the container engagement position subsequent to the second actuation.

The present invention related to a cooking device having a cooking glass bowl, wherein the cooking glass bowl has a large weight to improve the safety of the cooling device during operation of the cooling device equipped with a high-speed motor. The cooking device having the cooking glass bowl according to the present invention, comprises: a glass bowl portion (100) including a cooking glass bowl (110) having a handle base (111) extending from and integrally formed with an outer side surface of one side thereof, a bowl base (120) including a heater (170) and fastened to an outer circumferential surface of a lower end of the cooking glass bowl (110), and handle portions (400, 500) fastened and fixed at opposite ends of the handle base by being brought into close contact with each other so as to cover the handle base (111) of the cooking glass bowl (110) while maintaining a tight contact state in a direction perpendicular to the outer circumferential surface of the cooking glass bowl (110); and a body portion (200) which generates a driving force in an internal space formed inside thereof and supplies a power to the heater (170) or a generator (260) by voltage conversion.

The present invention relates to household food-processing devices. In order to provide a household food-processing device with a mounting system ensuring that it is not possible to touch the processing tool in an operating state, a household food-processing device (10) is provided that comprises a base unit (12), a processing tool unit (14) with a processing tool (18) for processing supplied food, and a receiving unit (16) with a receiving volume (20) for receiving the processed food.
