Abstract
In a food processing machine, a removable food receptacle and a platform on which the receptacle is positioned in the machine, are constructed so that the food receptacle, as it is introduced into the machine, is guided into proper position. The platform is provided with a raised shoulder that includes a portion that is contacted by the receptacle when inserted into the machine in an improper direction, and that causes the receptacle to turn to the proper direction. The raised shoulder further includes a portion to stop the receptacle from further insertion once it is in proper position, and portions to maintain the receptacle in proper orientation on the platform during processing and/or delivery of food.
