Abstract
An electric kitchen appliance comprises a base (1) enclosing an electric motor (2) and transmission members (3, 4, 5) to drive in rotation a vertical shaft (6) that emerges from the base (1). The appliance is adapted to drive either a conventional chopping and slicing member in a receptacle at relatively high speed, or alternatively a heating mixing accessory (13) at relatively low speed. This accessory (13) comprises a receptacle (14) enclosing a working tool (15) such as a mixer, the bottom (16) of this receptacle resting on a heating sole (17). A speed reduction system (18) connected to the working tool (15) is disposed below the heating sole (17) and is part of the accessory. This speed reducer can be coupled to the vertical shaft (6). The accessory thus permits alternatively using the appliance for heating and mixing food preparations such as sauces.
