A fixing unit is included in a image forming apparatus, and includes a heating roller and a pressure roller. A separating layer is formed on a surface of the heating roller, and an elastic member layer is formed on a surface of the pressure roller, and both are brought into pressure-contact with each other in a state where the elastic member layer is in elastic deformation. The heating roller and the pressure roller are rotatably supported at fixed positions by bearings, respectively. At this time L=D1/2+D2/2-B.sup.2 /4 (1/D1+1/D2), where D1 is a diameter of the heating roller, D2 is a diameter of the pressure roller, B is nip width between the rollers, and L is a center distance between the rollers is satisfied.

A food processor comprises a motor for rotating a rotor, a read-only memory (902) and a key input portion (600). In the read-only memory, a plurality of processing data are stored in advance. Each of the processing data includes a plurality of data groups consisting of speed data for determining the rotational speed of the motor and time data for determining the operation time of the motor. By operation of the key input portion (600), an arbitrary processing data is selected out of the plurality of processing data and the data groups included in the selected processing data are outputted successively from the read-only memory (902). According to these data groups, operation of the motor is controlled so that food is automatically processed.
