<p>In order to improve value for money and user convenience in electrically-powered blenders and similar appliances, a component such as a filler cap (16) or a stirring rod (30) which is provided for use with the appliance (10), and is intended, in normal usage, to engage in an aperture formed through the lid or cover (15) of such an appliance (10), is formed with a portion (21) configured to enable the component to be used as a juicing reamer. The portion (21) is bulbous and ribbed and can be used for juicing either separately from the appliance or in close association therewith. In some embodiments the ribs are discontinuous along their length, and discontinuities in neighbouring ribs may be aligned or misaligned, in order to achieve a desired efficiency of juice extraction and/or to provide a desired aesthetic appearance of the component.</p> |
