A food mixer (1) with a container (3) with side walls (3a) and a bottom (3) is described. The food mixer (1) contains a mixing screw (5) rotating about an axis (5′) extending essentially perpendicularly to the bottom (3b). A support surface (7d) is assigned to the mixing screw and strokes over the bottom (3b) with a leading edge (7a), a flow guiding body (8, 108, 208, 308, 408) projecting upwards from the support surface (7d). To improve and facilitate in a constructionally simple manner a measuring out process, it is suggested to provide the flow guiding body (8, 108, 208, 308, 408) with a guiding surface (10, 210, 310) essentially facing radially outwards which is provided with a point (9) directed to the leading edge (7a) and resting on the support surface (7d) and extends with an increasing height (h) above the support surface (7d) backwards in the sense of rotation (D).
