A base for a food processing system is provided including a housing configured to couple with a complementary container. The housing includes a bottom surface. At least one suction device is mounted to the bottom surface and is configured to adhere the base to an adjacent surface. At least one release mechanism is mounted to mounted generally flush with an outer surface of the housing. The at least one release mechanism is operably coupled to at least one suction device and is movable between a first position and a second position to release the at least one suction device from the adjacent surface.

1. 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 first suction device operably coupled thereto, the first release mechanism being arranged substantially flush with a first side of a housing of the base;applying a vertical force to an outer periphery of said at least one first suction device in response to actuating said first release mechanism:actuating a second release mechanism to initiate release of at least one second suction device operably coupled thereto, the second release mechanism being arranged substantially flush with a second side of the housing of the base;applying a vertical force to an outer periphery of said at least one second suction device in response to actuating said second release mechanism; andseparating the base from the adjacent surface. 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the first release mechanism and the second release mechanism are actuated simultaneously. 3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the first release mechanism and the second release mechanism are actuated independently. 4. The method according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the first release mechanism and the second release mechanism is actuated by moving the release mechanism vertically between a first position and a second position. 5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the at least one first suction device includes a front right suction device and a back right suction device, and the at least one second suction device includes a front left suction device and a back left suction device. 6. The base according to claim 5, wherein actuation of the first release mechanism is configured to initiate release of the front right suction device and the back right suction device, and actuation of the second release mechanism is configured to initiate release of the front left suction device and the back left suction device.
