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.

The present disclosure provides a hopper for a vertical juicer. The hopper can include a body including a projection, a protrusion, and a rib. The projection, the protrusion, and the rib can be disposed on an interior of the body. The lid can be disposed adjacent to the body and configured to be coupled to the body. The lid can include a hole configured to receive food therethrough. The cutting mechanism can be rotatably coupled to the interior surface of the body and configured to cut food.

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.

A preparation vessel for connection with a receiving area of a base unit of an electric motor-driven food processor has a pot, a pot foot that can be connected with the receiving area, and a cover that closes the pot opening of the pot. The preparation vessel has a locking assembly with a locking element for locking the pot with the cover. The pot foot has at least one activating element for activating the locking assembly. The activating element is arranged on the pot foot in such a way that it can be activated by a corresponding activating assembly of the receiving area of the food processor.

A blending apparatus can include: a blender jar defining a blending cavity; a lid positionable over the blender jar, the lid defining an opening into the blending cavity; a gasket positioned around a periphery of the opening in the lid; an enclosable sound dampener positionable around the blender jar and the lid, the enclosable sound dampener defining an access hole corresponding to the opening in the lid; and a tamper insertable through the access hole and the opening. In particular examples, when the tamper is inserted through the access hole and the enclosable sound dampener is in a closed state, blending noise is at least partially contained within the enclosable sound dampener. Further, in some examples, when the tamper is inserted through the opening, the tamper contacts the gasket around the tamper to seal contents within the blending cavity.

Disclosed herein is a cooking system for cooking food, the system including a housing having a hollow interior, a lid movable relative to the housing, at least one heating element associated with one of the housing and the lid, wherein the cooking system is operable in a plurality of modes including a conductive cooking mode and a convective cooking mode, wherein in the conductive cooking mode the cooking system is operable as a conductive cooker and in the convective cooking mode the cooking system is operable as a convection cooker.

Provide a cooking device capable of processing food with a simple configuration while inhibiting oxidation of food and also inhibiting pressure inside a cooking container from rising excessively.

A cooking device processes food in an accommodation space by a processing tool rotated by a motor while an air in the accommodation space in which the processing tool to process the food is arranged is exhausted and includes a driving device (a closing member) and a check valve. The driving device opens/closes the accommodation space. The check valve allows an outflow of the air out of the accommodation space when the air in the accommodation space closed by the driving device is exhausted and also stops an opposite flow of the air after the air is exhausted.

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 blender for processing comestible matter includes a base with a motor, a blade assembly, and a container. The blender further comprises a first safety mechanism and a second safety mechanism. The first safety mechanism functions to ensure that the container is securely attached to the blade assembly before the blade assembly can be mounted to the base. The second safety mechanism functions to ensure the motor in the base can only be powered on when the container and the blade assembly are securely mounted to the base. The blender is operable by affixing the container to the blade assembly, and then the assembly to the base, such that both safety mechanisms are released to permit the motor to be activated.
