Ergonomic whisk for food processing

Abstract

A machine () for stirring a liquid food substance has: a container () delimiting a cavity () with a bottom () and a peripheral wall () for containing said liquid food substance to be stirred, the cavity () extending generally along a generally upright central container axis () and having a mouth () for removing from the container () said liquid food substance upon stirring; and an impeller () comprising an impelling member () which is configured to be rotated in the cavity () against said liquid food substance about an impeller axis () that is generally identical or generally parallel to the container axis (). The impelling member () is configured to be spaced above the cavity's bottom () by: a maximum stirring distance (H) when the impelling member () is rotated at at a maximum stirring speed about the impeller axis (); and a resting distance (h), smaller than the maximum stirring distance (H), when the impelling member () stands still.
