A food processor bowl 1 has a floor 2, a sidewall 3 and a top opening 4. The exterior of the bowl 1 has a lid-retention lip 5 extending radially from the sidewall 3 and downwardly at its distal end to form, in side profile, a hook-like mechanism. The food processor lid 6 has a downwardly extending tongue 7 with an internal hook 8. The tongue 7, which is integrally formed with the lid 6, flexes so that as the lid 6 is installed onto the bowl, the hook 8 contacts and slides over the lid-retention lip 5. This flexes the tongue 7 radially outwardly until the hook 8 is slid past the lip 5, at which time the tongue moves the hook 8 underneath the lip 5. At the same time, a spring-loaded latch assembly 9 releasably attaches to the bowl 1.
