1. An appliance provided with an electric motor comprising:
- a tool, a rotary drive for the tool, the took including a first food-processing tool member adapted to be driven in rotation by said rotary drive and a second food-processing tool member adapted to remain stationary within a vessel during a food-processing operation;
said first and second food-processing tool members having complementary working surfaces, means for resiliently moving at least one of the first food-processing tool member and second food-processing tool member into a working position adapted for rolling inter-engagement by frictional contact between the working surfaces during relative rotational movement between said food-processing tool members, so as to cause said first food-processing tool member to roll around on the working surface of the second food-processing tool member; and
wherein at least said complementary working surfaces of said first and second food-processing tool members are each formed of material capable of working ingredients into a paste.

Abstract
A tool for a food processor has a first member driven in rotation and a second stationary member which have complementary working surfaces for rolling engagement formed of a stone-like material for working ingredients into a thin paste-like form, the surfaces being conical or cylindrical.
