The pipe includes an open top end for receiving an elongated rotisserie spit, and a rotisserie motor is positioned along the bottom end of the hollow pipe. The pipe includes a circular shape and size that is suitable for insertion within the drain opening of a commercially available oil-less fat frying device. A drain opening is positioned along the top shelf at a location adjacent to the hollow pipe, and a circular-shaped lip encircles both the drain opening and the pipe. A drain tube is in communication with the bottom end of the drain opening to remove liquids from the area within the circular lip.

A cooking system includes a housing defining a hollow chamber configured to receive food, a controller configured to operate the cooking system in a plurality of modes including a conductive cooking mode and a convective cooking mode, a first temperature sensor operable by the controller to detect temperature in the hollow chamber during the conductive cooking mode, and a second temperature sensor operable by the controller to detect temperature in the hollow chamber during the convective cooking mode. The controller is configured to receive an initial user input that initiates at least one of the conductive cooking mode and the convective cooking mode and switch between operation of the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor following the initial user input and without further user input.

The present invention relates to a sensor means (11, 35, 49, 71) or module for determining a particularly elastic displacement or deflection or bending of a panel (3), in particular a glass panel, or of a section of a panel or of an insert in relation to the panel (3). The sensor means (11, 35, 49, 71) or module and the panel (3) or said section thereof forming a weighing means, in particular a scale. The sensor means (11, 35, 49, 71) or module is adapted to be integrated in or allocated to a household appliance (1), in particular a cooking hob, more in particular an induction cooking hob, and comprises or is connected to at least one processing and/or interpretation and/or compilation means, preferably for providing a particular high sensor sensitivity and/or evaluation unit accuracy. Further, a household appliance (1) is disclosed which comprises an at least approximately horizontal panel (3), in particular a glass panel. The panel (3) is part of or is in functional connection with a scale for weighing an item (15) placed on the panel (3). Finally, the invention relates to a method for determining the weight of an item (15) on an at least approximately horizontal panel (3) of a household appliance (1), in particular on a top panel (3) of a cooking hob. An acceleration of a panel (3) section or of a panel reference point or reference area, in particular a reference point or a reference area on a panel surface (7), is estimated or determined during a displacement or deflection or bending of the panel section or the panel reference point or reference area due to a placing of the item (15) on the panel.

The invention provides a food preparation vessel (100) comprising a main inlet (10) for introduction of a food material into the food preparation vessel (100), wherein the food preparation vessel (100) comprises a gas flow generator outlet (21) and a gas flow receiver inlet (22), wherein the gas flow generator outlet (21) is configured to provide a gas flow (25) in the direction of the gas flow receiver inlet (22) and having a component parallel to the main inlet (10) when the gas flow generator outlet (21) is functionally coupled with a gas flow generator in operation.

The invention relates to a pan for depilatory wax, consisting of a container (2) and a handle (3) made of a material suitable for withstanding direct contact with flames, incandescent resistance and glass ceramic surfaces that reach high temperatures, as well as for the flow therethrough of electromagnetic waves of a microwave oven without absorbing energy. The container (2) and the handle (3) can be made of aluminum, ceramic, tempered glass or Pyrex®-type glass. The handle (3) is fixed, collapsible or foldable on the container (2) and is coated with a layer (4) of insulating and protective material, preferably silicone or Bakelite.

An electric kitchen appliance has a pot for receiving food to be processed using the electric kitchen appliance. An ultrasound transmitter and an ultrasound receiver are provided in order to determine the fill level of the food in the pot. The ultrasound transmitter and the ultrasound receiver are attached to the upper edge of the pot such that an ultrasound signal can be transmitted onto the surface of the food by the ultrasound transmitter, and an ultrasound signal reflected by the surface of the food can be received by the ultrasound receiver. In this manner, an electric kitchen appliance is provided which allows the fill state of the food in the pot to be determined in a simple and reliable manner.

A flipping structure includes an ingredient box, a container, a moving module and a driving mechanism. The container is configured to carry the ingredient box; the moving module is configured to directionally move the container; the driving mechanism is configured to flip the ingredient box; the driving mechanism includes a rotating shaft and at least one clamp block fixedly disposed on the rotating shaft; the ingredient box includes a front face, a back face, and a connecting piece. The connecting piece is fixed on the front face or the back face. The connecting piece includes a slot. When in use, the ingredient box moves with the container to face the at least one clamp block, and the at least one clamp block is nested in the slot. The clamp block is clamped in the slot through a clearance fit.

A cooking system that utilizes vibration to improve the convenience of preparing food and the quality of the finished product.
