In both cases, the container 10 forms a male screw 18 as a screw-shaped engaging portion on the outer periphery on the opening side, and the cylindrical portion 1
A female screw 17 is formed on the inner wall on the upper end opening side to engage with the male screw 18 as the screw engaging portion. The container 10 and the container base 7 are screwed together. Thus, a closed container body 2 is formed. Further, on the outer periphery of the container 10, projecting ribs 20 as projections projecting from the side surface to the bottom surface portion 19 from the bottom surface portion are provided at four locations at substantially equal angles. The ribs protrude substantially the same amount on the bottom portion 19, that is, have substantially the same height, so that the container 10 does not tilt when the container 10 is placed on the table mounting surface as shown in FIG. A cutter shaft 13 rotatably supported at the center of the bottom 11 of the container base 7 formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape and having a cutter 12 at the upper end.
Is provided. A coupling 14 which is engaged with the coupling 6 is provided at a lower end of the cutter shaft 12 below the bottom 11.

Next, the operation of the cooker formed as described above will be described. When pouring cooking material or the like to be pulverized into the container, the container 10 is removed from the container base 7, the material is put into the container with the opening side facing upward, and the container is again placed in the container base 7 as it is. 10 is attached. The container main body 2 in which the container base 7 and the container 10 are connected in this manner is connected to the device main body 1.
Attach to At this time, the coupling 6 and the coupling 14 engage with each other. By the coupling between the coupling 6 and the coupling 14, the power of the electric motor 3 is transmitted, and the cutter 12 rotates. Cooking materials such as fruits and dry matter put in the container 10 sealed in this way are
