<p>A kitchen machine, for example a centrifugal juicer (1), incorporates a covered container in which food or other produce can be sliced, shredded or otherwise macerated by means of a macerating device which is rotated by means of an electric motor. In order to at least partially wash produce residues from the walls of the container and/or from the macerating device, provision is made for the introduction into the container of a rinsing fluid which, on operation of the motor, is distributed around the surfaces of the container and/or the macerating device. The rinsing fluid is introduced into the container through a pusher device (8) inserted into an aperture (7) in the cover of the container and used to urge the produce against the macerating plate (2). Provision may be made for the application of pressure to the fluid to encourage its entry into the container.</p> |
