Abstract: A device for the processing of foods, which has a storage container 1 for receiving foods. The storage container 1 is connected, via an outlet opening 20, to an opening 4 of a preparation container 2 which can be closed by a third closing element 3 during the preparation of the foods. The outlet opening 20 of the storage container 1 can be closed by a first closing element 8, which can be moved into an opened and/or closed position by an actuator 14 as a function of a control variable or an amount of food. Only after the preparation of the foods is the preparation container 2 connected, via at least one opening 4, to a collecting container 7, which can be removed by an operator.
