Abstract: Apparatus for mixing foodstuffs comprises a bowl having a hole in its bottom, a removable cover for closing the bowl, and a rotary cutter positioned in the lower portion of the bowl and having a central bore. A coupling shaft extends through the central bore of the rotary cutter and the hole in the bowl bottom to effect rotation of the rotary cutter when the removable cover is placed on the bowl, the upper end of the coupling shaft being journalled on the under side of the removable cover and the lower end of the coupling shaft being detachably coupled to a drive means. Resilient means is associated with the rotary cutter and cooperates with the bowl for connecting the rotary cutter to the bowl in the axial direction of the coupling shaft.
