A base for a food processing system, comprising:
- a housing configured to couple with a complementary container, the housing including a bottom surface;
- at least one suction device mounted to the bottom surface, the at least one suction device being configured to adhere the base to an adjacent surface;
- and
- at least one release mechanism mounted generally flush with an outer surface of the housing and operably coupled to the at least one suction device, the release mechanism being movable between a first position and a second position to release the at least one suction device from the adjacent surface.
A method of releasing a base of a food processing system from an adjacent surface, comprising:
- actuating a first release mechanism to initiate release of at least one suction device operably coupled thereto, the first release mechanism being arranged generally flush with a first side of a housing of the base;
- actuating a second release mechanism to initiate release of at least one suction device operably coupled thereto, the first release mechanism being arranged generally flush with a second side of a housing of the base;
- and
- separating the base from the adjacent surface.
