Handling of food processor

A machine for processing a liquid food substance comprising:

• a jug having a container and a handle for holding the jug by an adult human hand, the container delimiting a cavity for containing the liquid food substance;
• the handle having a connection member projecting from the container and a substantially elongated upright gripping member that is connected to the connection member at a distance from the container, the gripping member having an upper portion that is above the connection member and a lower portion that is below the connection member, the upper portion being configured to support a thumb of the hand and delimiting with the connection member an upper seat for accommodating an index finger of the hand when the handle is held by the hand,
• the handle has a confinement member that extends:
• substantially uprightly between the container and the lower portion of the gripping member;
• and
• downwardly from the connection member or from close thereto,
• the confinement member and the lower portion and the connection member delimiting a lower seat for accommodating a portion of a middle finger of the hand when the handle is held by the hand,
• wherein the base delimits a peripheral seat, for receiving the confinement member when the container is received by a seat of the base such that the container is in a place for processing the liquid food substance, the peripheral seat and the confinement member having at least a feature selected from the group consisting of:
• complementary shapes so that the base and the confinement member form together a continuous outside surface;
• an arrangement to prevent a rotation of the container relative to the base;
• and
• an arrangement such that a downwardly oriented edge of the container rests on an upwardly oriented edge of the base or such that the container edge is distant to the base edge by no more than 0.5 mm, the base edge forming for instance a rim of the seat of the base for receiving the container,
• wherein the container is off the place for processing the liquid food substance when the confinement member is off-set, relative to the peripheral seat, and
• wherein the downwardly oriented edge of the container is spaced apart from the upwardly oriented edge of the base, by a distance that is greater than when the confinement member is received in the peripheral seat.
