Abstract

A container configured for use with a food processing system includes a container body configurable with a food processing base. The container body includes an interior wall and an exterior wall. The interior will and the exterior wall are arranged in contact at a first end. At least one of the interior wall and the exterior wall is formed from a non-resilient material. A chamber is defined by said container body.

Claims (18)

1. A container configured for use with a food processing system, comprising:

a container body configured to be removably coupled with a food processing base, the container body including an interior wall and an exterior wall, said interior wall and said exterior wall being arranged in contact at a first end, wherein at least one of said interior wall and said exterior wall is formed from a non-resilient material, wherein said non-resilient material is a stainless steel material, wherein a portion of the container body forms a pressure relief mechanism; and

a chamber defined by said container body.

2. The container according to claim 1 , wherein a space is formed between at least a portion of said interior wall and said exterior wall, said space being filled with an insulating material.

3. The container according to claim 1 , wherein both said interior wall and said exterior wall are formed from a non-resilient material.

4. The container according to claim 3 , wherein the said non-resilient material of said interior wall is substantially identical to said non-resilient material of said exterior wall.

5. The container according to claim 3 , wherein said non-resilient material of said interior wall is different than said non-resilient material of said exterior wall.
