The pedestal 102 is configured to be detachable from a bowl 112 into which a food item is placed. A rotating shaft 102 a is provided on the upper portion of the pedestal 102. A mixer holding portion 103 is rotatably provided on the rotation shaft 102a.

  A rotating plate 104 is integrally provided in the mixer holding unit 103. The rotating plate 104 rotates around the rotating shaft 102 a as the mixer holding unit 103 rotates. The rotating plate 104 is provided with a substantially arc-shaped through hole 104a centering on the rotating shaft 102a.

  A stand switch 105 is provided on the side surface of the pedestal 102 so as to be movable forward and backward toward the inside of the pedestal 102. The stand switch 105 is urged toward the outside of the pedestal 102 by a spring 106 provided inside the pedestal 102. The stand switch 105 is integrally provided with a switch shaft 105a. When the switch shaft 105a is engaged with the through hole 104a, the rotation operation of the mixer holding unit 103 is restricted.

  In the through hole 104a, the mixer holding portion 103 is closed (position shown in FIG. 4) so that the beater 113 attached to the hand mixer main body 111 is positioned in the bowl 112 by engaging with the switch shaft 105a. A closed fixing portion 104b for fixing is provided. By rotating the beater 113 in the state shown in FIG. 4, cooking such as frothing can be performed on the food in the bowl 112.

  The through-hole 104a is provided with an open fixing portion 104c that engages with the switch shaft 105a to fix the mixer holding portion 103 in the open position so that the beater 113 is retracted from the bowl 112. By retracting the beater 113 from the bowl 112, the bowl 112 can be easily attached to and detached from the pedestal 102.
