A lid of a food processing system selectively receivable by a container of the food processing system includes a lid body defining a cavity within the lid body, a locking assembly at least partially disposed within the cavity and an actuator associated the said lid body and the locking assembly. The locking assembly is movable from an unlocked position to a locked position in response to application of a first force applied to the actuator. The locking assembly is movable from the locked position to the unlocked position in response to application of a second force applied to said actuator, the first force and said second force being applied in a same direction.

Disclosed is an apparatus and method for a slide and tilt hinge mechanism. The slide and tilt mechanism comprises an upper element () having a top () and a bottom () and an angled () portion located at an end () of the upper element, the angled portion angled relative to the top and the bottom of the upper element. A lower element () having a first lower element portion () and a second lower element portion () coupled together by a joint (), the joint allowing the first lower element portion to fold relative to the second lower element portion and the upper element. A slide enabling member (), coupling the upper element to the lower element such that when the upper element and the lower element are in a closed configuration (), the upper element prevents the lower element from folding. A biasing member (), biasing the lower element to fold about the joint when the upper element is slid to an extended position.
