Abstract: A cooking stove (30) has a drive assembly (40) for driving a food processing assembly (20) in a pan (10) to be used with the cooking stove (30), wherein the drive assembly (40) is associated with a stove base of the cooking stove (30). In particular, the drive assembly (40) comprises driven movement transferring means (41) which are movably arranged in the cooking stove (30), having a coupling portion (47, 48a, 48b) which is adapted to couple to the food processing assembly (20), and pan fixating means (44) for engaging the pan (10) and thereby preventing the pan (10) from moving with the movement transferring means (41) during operation of the drive assembly (40). At least a component (41, 44) of the drive assembly (40) and at least a top component (31) of the stove base are displaceable with respect to each other in the cooking stove (30).
