Disclosed is a cooking appliance including: a main body; a container detachably installed to an upper portion of the main body, and comprising a reservoir for accommodating an object to be processed and a handle portion protruding laterally from the reservoir; and an enclosure detachably installed to the upper portion of the main body to surround the reservoir, wherein the enclosure is formed in a dome shape having an opened lower end and has a handle through hole extending from the opened lower end and formed in a part of a side surface of the enclosure, so that at least a part of the handle penetrates the handle through hole and is exposed to an outside in a state where the enclosure is installed to the main body with the container.

A blender system includes a blender base housing a motor. A container assembly may be selectively and operatively attached to the blender base. The container assembly may include two or more compartments. The motor drives an input spindle of a blade assembly. The blade assembly may blend foodstuff within the two or more compartments.

There is provided a closure for a food processor, wherein the closure comprises a food processing tool.

A juicer is disclosed. The juicer includes: a juice-extraction drum crushing and squeezing a juicing target and receiving a screw therein; a hopper coupled to the juice-extraction drum to define a predetermined space receiving the juicing target therein, and comprising an inner protrusion protruding from an inner surface of the hopper toward a central axis of the hopper; and a blade coupled to the hopper to be rotated about the central axis of the hopper and cutting the juicing target before the juicing target reaches the screw, wherein the blade includes: a lower blade rotated in a state of closely contacting a bottom surface of the hopper; and an upper blade bent to cover the inner protrusion of the hopper from above, wherein the upper blade crushes the juicing target in cooperation with the inner protrusion of the hopper.

An apparatus for preparing a foam from a liquid, particularly a food liquid, such as milk or a milk-based liquid. The apparatus (10) includes a base body (16) provided with electrical connection means (52, 54) and an upper unit (12, 14) arranged to be releasably placed on the base body (16) to be electrically connected to the base body (16) through the electrical connection means (52, 54). The upper unit (12, 14) has an upper body (12) acting as a vessel and an intermediate body (14) separate from each other. The upper body (12) houses a stirring member (24). The intermediate body (14) houses electrically operated driver (42, 44, 46) for driving the stirring member (24) to rotate and a heating element (40) for heating the liquid contained in the upper body (12).

A food processor for processing food stuffs having a base assembly, a jar assembly, and a blade assembly that can be rotated from a use position to a stored position is disclosed. The food processor includes a lid that is connected to the jar assembly by a hinge and closed by use of a latch. The jar assembly is connected to the base assembly by the use of push pins on the base assembly which engage corresponding holes on the jar assembly.

A cutting device for insertion into a pot of an electric kitchen appliance includes a lid configured to be installed on the pot, and which has a feed opening. The cutting device includes a drivable cutting disk which, in the installed state, is rotated underneath the feed opening, and an adapter having an adaption interface for a mixing knife disposed in a bottom region of the pot. The mixing knife, during operation, causes the adapter to rotate, wherein the adapter further has a shaft which, in a state of the cutting device having been inserted into the pot, extends centrally in the direction towards the lid, and which is configured for contacting the cutting disk and for transmitting the rotation of the adapter onto the cutting disk during operation. A free end of the adapter shaft is supported in a sliding manner in the lid during operation.

Proposed is a blender, in which a main body operates when a closure of the container lid on a container body is detected. In the blender according to the present disclosure, when the closure of the container lid is detected, a voltage of a preset signal pattern is applied to the first inductive coil of the main body, and the voltage is transferred to the second inductive coil of the container body by inductive coupling with the first inductive coil. The light emitting unit of the container body transmits a light signal to the light receiving unit of the main body by using the voltage transmitted to the second inductive coil, and the light signal has the signal pattern. When the light receiving unit receives the light signal of the signal pattern, the main body recognizes the closure of the container lid on the container body so that that the main body operates.

A product preparation system and method wherein a single-use product container assembly and a multiple motion intelligent driving device are employed to process contents of the container assembly.

A food processor includes a bowl with a removable lid. Food items are advanced into the bowl through a feed tube formed in the lid where they are cut by a blade assembly. A rotating disk is adjustable relative to the blade assembly to vary the thickness of the food items cut by the blade assembly.
