Abstract: A countertop kitchen appliance system includes a countertop kitchen appliance and a charging platform. The countertop kitchen appliance includes a base having a motor disposed therein, a receptacle coupled to the base and configured to receive food therein, a rotatable tool disposed within the receptacle and operably coupled to the motor such that operation of the motor drives rotation of the rotatable tool, a heater configured to heat food received within the receptacle, and a battery coupled to the motor and the heater. The countertop kitchen appliance is operable between docked and undocked conditions. In the docked condition, the countertop kitchen appliance is operably coupled to the charging platform such that current is delivered from the charging platform to the battery. In the undocked condition, the countertop kitchen appliance is removed from the charging platform and the battery is operable to power operation of the motor and the heater.
