Abstract

The invention relates to a food processor with a mixing vessel and a drive mechanism for an agitator in the mixing vessel, the lower region of which can be heated. As a simple way of improving a food processor of this type, it is proposed that a top unit for the mixing vessel should have a perforated base to allow food to be steam-cooked. The perforations are formed in a support plate in the base of the top unit and condensation and moisture are led back into the mixing vessel.
