Zusammenfassung:A kitchen appliance has a base, a tool holder for mounting on the base and a jar. A magnetic drive coupling is between the base and the tool holder. A sensor is used to sense whether or not the jar is mounted over the tool holder, and rotation of the rotary tool is enabled in dependence on the sensing by the sensor. The sensor comprises a component which is displaced by the mounting of the jar to the tool holder and a proximity sensor arrangement for detecting a proximity of the component. This kitchen appliance thus has remote proximity sensing of when a jar is coupled to the tool holder. The rotary tool can be stopped as soon as it is detected that the jar is disconnected from the tool holder.
