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.

Heat is applied to a lower region of the vessel during a holding of the vessel in a narrowly enclosing seat having a cylindrical wall region encircling a part of the vessel exclusive of a gap in the wall. An adjustment device enables enlargement and contraction of the wall region to facilitate emplacement and removal of the vessel with respect to the seat.
