The invention relates to a housing (1) for a food processor, with a bayonet receptacle (2) for a mixing bowl. To improve the durability of the bayonet receptacle (2) it is proposed to form the bayonet receptacle (2) with a covering skin (4) from metal carried by a carrying element (5) formed from plastics. The covering skin (4) can be provided with cut-outs (7) that are filled by plastic elements (8) that incorporate bayonet grooves (3) and that are connected with the carrying element (5) being an injection moulding component moulded against the undersurface of the covering skin (4). This provides a durable housing for a food processor that is inexpensive to produce.
