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 storage caddy (12) for storing food processor assembly components includes an upper platform (14) that defines an upper aperture (16), and a lower platform (18) that defines a lower aperture (20). A side wall (22) extends between the upper and lower platforms (14, 18). The side wall (22) includes an interior surface (24) that generally defines an interior receiving space (26) in communication with the upper and lower apertures (16, 20). The side wall (22) further includes an exterior surface (28) opposite the interior surface (24). A retention feature (38) is coupled upward from the upper platform (14).

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.

The invention relates to a method (100) for operating a food processor (10), in which, in a preparation mode, at least one processor device (50) of said food processor (10) is actuated so as to prepare food at least partly automatically, wherein a monitoring device (200) determines detection values (106) by detecting (105), at said processor (10), at least two detection variables (102) specific to a state of preparation.

A food preparation appliance includes a food preparation vessel, a lid, an attachment part, a locking device, and a plurality of sensors. The lid may be placed on the food preparation vessel. The attachment part may be placed on the food preparation vessel instead of the lid. The locking device is for locking the lid placed on the food preparation vessel and for locking the attachment part placed on the food preparation vessel.

Food processing tool and method of manufacture Food processing tool (100) has a housing 110 defining a volume therein. The tool (100) includes a drive-shaft (102) that drives a bladed tool 130 attached thereto about an axis of rotation. An insert 120) is located and arranged in the housing (110) so as to define a processing volume open to an outside of the housing through an opening thereof. The insert (120) is integral with the housing (110).

A blender with a display panel is provided to effectuate presentations of visual content. Exemplary implementations may: receive a first type of user input through the control interface; make detections regarding the user input received through the control interface; effectuate presentation of visual content on the display panel, responsive to a first detection of the first type of detections; and/or perform other operations.
