A domestic food processor which consists of a base (11) containing an electric driving motor, an aperture (17) in the upper surface of the base through which a driving shaft (16) from the motor projects, a substantially cylindrical food processing container (10) closed at its upper end by a removable lid having an aperture for the introduction of food into the container, the container being removably attached to the upper part of the base with the driving motor shaft projecting through a hole (18) in the bottom of the container, a sleeve (19) in the container surrounding the hole in the bottom and projecting upwardly into the container to form an annular liquid containing well around the hole, a food processing tool (13) for processing food in the container being removably mounted on the driving shaft, the characterising feature of the invention being that the food processing container has an outwardly tapering wall from top to bottom making an angle with a line parallel to the central axis of the container of between 5 DEG and 20 DEG and preferably about 7 1/2 DEG whereby a significant increase in food processing capacity as compared with a food processor of similar construction having a container with a right cylindrical wall is obtained. |
