A food stirrer includes a seat and a container. A driving axle extends
through the seat. A bushing is provided outside the driving axle. The
driving axle has a brake device for quickly stopping the rotation of the
driving axle when a motor is powered off. A spring is provided under an
upper sleeve and received in the middle sleeve with a tendency to push
the upper sleeve upwards. A first one-way ratchet wheel is mounted at a
bottom end of the driving axle. A gear assembly is mounted beneath a
bottom end of the driving axle, and connected to the motor by a
connector. A second one-way ratchet wheel is engaged with the first
one-way ratchet wheel. The container has a cover, a pole formed on the
cover for pushing the driving axle downwards, and a cutting tool provided
outside the bushing and formed with multiple blades.
