Abstract: A multi-purpose kitchen appliance comprising a first container closable by a cover in which a first driven working utensil can be inserted for processing food stuffs which can be coupled via a first connector with a drive spindle projecting through the base of the electric motor in the multi-purpose kitchen appliance. A second, smaller container may be inserted into the first container. A second utensil in the second container can be coupled to the drive spindle via a second connector. A sealing lip is arranged on the edge of the aperture of the second container which, when the latter is inserted in the first container, forms a seal on the underside of the cover when the cover is fitted on the first container.
