A food processing appliance includes a reservoir 27 to receive water, a heater 28 to produce steam from any water in the reservoir and a food-containing vessel 23 positioned to receive steam from the heater. The vessel has a number of apertures 40 that are sized to allow ingress of the steam to the vessel, yet curtail egress of any pureed food from the vessel. A carrier 25 is mounted movably with respect to the vessel and a motor 29 causes relative movement between the carrier and the vessel. A beater or beaters 24 extends into the vessel from the carrier and a scraper blade 37 may also ride along the inner surface of vessel 23 as the carrier 25 rotates. The food processor is useful for cooking and mashing potatoes, or other vegetables such as carrots or pumpkin. |
