Heat management for food processor

A machine for processing a liquid food substance, the machine comprising:

• a jug having a container and delimiting a food cavity for containing the liquid food substance;
• and
• a base that has one or more walls forming a seat configured for removably receiving the container,
• the container having at least one outside container wall that can be thermally conditioned by the liquid food substance in the cavity and/or by processing the liquid food substance in the cavity and that faces the one or more walls of the base when the container is in or on the seat,
• the base and/or the container comprises one or more thermally insulating spacers spacing the one or more walls of the base from the at least one outside container wall when the container is received in or on the seat to prevent or inhibit thermal transfer from the container into the base via the one or more walls of the base from the at least one outside container wall,
• wherein each of the one or more thermally insulating spacers is configured to space a corresponding base wall of the one or more walls of the base from the at least one outside container wall by a distance in the range of 0.1 cm to 1 cm.

• wherein the container has a rim delimiting an opening of the container cavity, the container further comprising a removable lid extending over the rim and having at least one feature selected from the group consisting of:
• a) a peripheral wall that extends downwardly to form an outside lid face of the container,
• and
• b) an upright inner wall that extends downwardly into the cavity along the rim.
