    Abstract: A kitchen device (100) including: abase (102) having a mechanism (118) that is operated using electrical power to cause processing of food; a vessel (104) removably mounted on the base (102) and including a bottom wall (108), a side wall (110) extending upwardly from the bottom wall (108) to a rim (112) so as to provide a space (114) to receive the food to be processed, with the rim (112) surrounding an opening (116) to the space (114); a lid (106) removably coupled to the rim (112) so as to at least partially close the opening (116); and an interlock system (120) operatively associated with the mechanism (118) to permit the delivery of the electric power to the mechanism (118), the system (120) including a first interlock circuit (122) and a second interlock circuit (124), wherein delivery of the electric power to the mechanism (118) is permitted by the completion of the first interlock circuit (122) and activation of the second interlock circuit (124), wherein the first interlock circuit (122) includes a first coupling (126) to complete the first circuit (122), the first coupling (126) including a first portion (128) mounted to the lid (106) and a second portion (130) mounted to the vessel (104) adjacent the rim (112) so that the first portion (128) is located adjacent the second portion (130) when the lid (106) is coupled to the rim (112) thereby completing the first circuit (122), and wherein the second interlock circuit (124) includes a second coupling (136) to activate the second interlock circuit (124), the second coupling (136) including a first portion (138) that is part of the second interlock circuit (124) and mounted to the base (102), the first portion (138) being operatively associated with a second portion (140) that is mounted to the vessel (104) and part of the first interlock circuit (122), wherein completion of the first interlock circuit (122) causes operation of the second portion (140) of the second coupling (136), thereby causing operation of the first portion (138) of the second coupling (136) to thus activate the second interlock circuit (124) and permit delivery of the electric power to the mechanism (118).
