A blender includes a container body in which food is accommodated, a main body provided underneath the container body and supporting the container body, a container lid detachably mounted on an upper surface of the container body and opening and closing the top of the container body, and a blade assembly provided on a lower end portion of the container body and chopping the food inside the container body into small pieces. The blade assembly includes a main blade on which a plurality of main blade portions is formed, and an auxiliary blade of which an auxiliary blade portion is positioned between each of the plurality of main blade portions.

A cooking system for cooking food includes a housing defining a hollow chamber configured to receive a food container. The housing has an upper portion defining an opening to the hollow chamber. A lid is configured to cover the upper portion of the housing and the opening to the hollow chamber in a closed position. The lid is movable to an open position where the lid does not cover the opening to the hollow chamber. At least one heating element associated with at least one of said housing and said lid. The cooking system is operable in a plurality of modes including a pressure cooking mode and a convective cooking mode. In the pressure cooking mode, the cooking system is operable as a pressure cooker, and in the convective cooking mode, the cooking system is operable as a convection cooker.

Disclosed is a blender including a noise blocking device. The blender includes: a container receiving food therein and having a processing member in which a processing member for processing food accommodated in the container is rotatably mounted thereon; a handle connected to the container; a body configured to allow the container to be mounted on an upper side thereof and receiving a drive device for supplying drive force for rotation of the processing member; and a noise blocking device connected to the body to define a closed space for receiving the container, wherein the handle is disposed outside the noise blocking device. The blender has a compact and simple structure, and provides user convenience. The noise blocking device of the blender can have an improved noise blocking effect.

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.

The present disclosure relates to a food processor along with a corresponding method for performing a food preparation process by heating, chopping and/or mixing a food in a food preparation vessel. The food processor comprises a control device configured such that the control device ensures, based on one or more cooking parameters, that in a cooking mode a food is heated, chopped and/or mixed in the food preparation vessel. A sampling mode for taking a food sample is provided and the control device is configured such that at least one of the cooking parameters is modified compared to the cooking mode for a modified continuation of the food preparation process when the sampling mode is activated. A particularly reproducible cooking result can be achieved in this way despite taking a food sample.

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.

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.

A food processing container includes a food processing chamber and a cover assembly with a latch mechanism operable between latched and unlatched positions. The latch mechanism includes a first magnetic member disposed therein. An interlock assembly is disposed outside of and adjacent to the food processing chamber and includes a sealed cavity with a plunger member moveable disposed within the sealed cavity. The plunger is operable between at-rest and actuated positions within the sealed cavity and includes upper and lower magnetic members disposed at opposite ends of the plunger member. The plunger member moves to the actuated position as the latch mechanism moves to the latched position due to a repulsion force between the first magnetic member and the upper magnetic member, and further wherein the lower magnetic member moves into the lower portion of the sealed cavity as the latch mechanism moves to the latched position.

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.
