19. A method for processing food items, comprising the steps of:
connecting a dasher assembly to a lid of a processing container having a hub and a motor-driven processing blade connected to the hub, the hub being configured to matingly engage a rotatable output shaft of a base of a food processing system atop which the processing container is receivable;
positioning the lid atop the processing container such that a scraping blade of the dasher assembly extends into the processing container;
actuating a motor of the dasher assembly located atop the processing container to rotate the scraping blade with respect to the processing container;
with a non-contact detection mechanism housed in the dasher assembly, detecting a sound enclosure of the food processing system is in a closed position encasing the processing container; and
in response to detecting the sound enclosure in the closed position, automatically actuating the motor of the dasher assembly.
