See full text

A kitchen appliance, comprising a vessel and a cover for closing an opening in the vessel, wherein a locking mechanism, with which the cover can be locked to the vessel, and a control device, with which the locking state of the locking mechanism can be controlled, are provided. A proximity sensor is provided, it being possible to use the proximity sensor to detect the physical approach by a hand of a user below a predetermined distance from the proximity sensor, and the proximity sensor is connected to the control-device in such a way that an approach by the hand of the user to the proximity sensor below the predetermined distance can be detected by the control device and the locking mechanism can then be driven by the control device in such a way that the locking mechanism unlocks the cover. Therefore, a kitchen appliance of this kind comprising a vessel and a cover for closing an opening in the vessel is specified, with simple unlocking of the cover being made possible for the kitchen appliance.
