a dust cover, including:
a disc-shaped body defining a central aperture therethrough and extending from the central aperture to an outer extent; and
a rim extending from the outer extent of the disc-shaped body to define an interior portion of the dust cover with the disc-shaped body;
wherein:
an upper portion of the first mixing bowl and an upper portion of the second mixing bowl are received within the interior portion of the dust cover, with the disc-shaped body extending inwardly from the second lip of the second mixing bowl positioned adjacent the outer extent of the disc-shaped body over at least a portion of an interior of the mixing bowl;
