A cooking appliance for processing and preparing foods with an external user interface that includes a base structure (48) on which a support suitable for holding a container (2) containing foods to be processed is assembled, motorized driving device suitable for rotating detachable stirring or cutting means inside the container (2), an electronic circuit for powering and controlling the driving device and heat energy transferring means controlled by an appliance microcontroller, a user interface integrated in a user computing device (D) detached with respect to the appliance for inputting operating parameters of the appliance, and the user computing device (D) is communicated with the appliance microprocessor through a wireless communication interface for inputting operating instructions of the appliance or cooking programs.

A food processor is provided with a wide feed tube. The food processor has a pusher that cooperates with a safety mechanism. The safety mechanism comprises a linkage assembly that prevents the food processor's motor from operating unless the pusher is inserted into the feed tube.

A hand-held inertia nutcracker for removing shells from a variety of nuts. The nutcracker having multiple configurations according to user preference. The easy to use device allows for easy insertion of nuts and quick removal of the nut and shell material. The nut is automatically centered in the cracking chamber as it is inserted so that consistent performance is achieved. The nutcracker also automatically adjusts for a variety of types and sizes of nuts without operator intervention. The design allows for rapid repeatability in use, thereby taking most of the effort out of extracting the nut from the shell.

Disclosed herein is a sauce pot which is used for the mixing for stirring of sauces, soups, gravies, and other foodstuffs while being heated on a heat source such as a stovetop, gas burner, hot plate, barbeque grill, charcoal, open flame, etc. the term “sauce” will be used herein to indicate all such foodstuffs to be cooked in order to abbreviate this disclosure. The sauce pot allows a user (cook) to stir and mix the sauce while heating the sauce and optionally while a lid assembly is in place thus, more efficiently retaining heat, steam, and flavors within the sauce pot during cooking and stirring.

A ladle includes a handle, a cup, a squeegee mechanism with a sweeping arm, a trigger assembly, and a handle of the trigger assembly which causes the operation of the squeegee mechanism. The handle has a proximal end configured for gripping by a user and a distal end. The cup is coupled to the distal end of the handle. The squeegee mechanism is associated with the handle and the cup. The squeegee mechanism includes a sweeping arm pivotally connected to the cup and disposed adjacent an exterior of the cup and a trigger assembly supported on the handle and connected to the sweeping arm. The trigger assembly is configured to actuate the squeegee mechanism to sweep the sweeping arm along the exterior of the cup.

A rice wrapper having a rectangular shape is formed into a deformed conical shape having an apex formed by an intermediate part of one long side, the deformed conical shape is formed by: rolling a part forming one corner part located between one short side and the one long side as an inside rolled part in such a way that the one corner part is placed at an intermediate part of the opposite other long side; rolling a part on the other short side over the inside rolled part as an outside rolled part; and fixing the outside rolled part onto the inside rolled part. The rice wrapper has an outer film provided with a first mark for positioning the part on the other short side which is rolled as the outside rolled part when the deformed conical shape is formed.

A portable blender includes a handle having at least one first attachment structure, an activation button, and a power activation member positioned for mechanical engagement with the activation button and a power switch. The blender also includes a container body with at least one second attachment structure. The first attachment structure and second attachment structure are configured to engage each other to attach the handle to the container body and to disengage each other to detach the handle from the container body. The blender further includes a container base configured for detachable engagement with the container body. In one configuration, the blender set includes a motor subunit configured for detachable engagement with the container base, and a power subunit configured for detachable engagement with the motor subunit. In another configuration, the blender includes a motor subunit configured for detachable engagement with the container base, and a power subunit included in the handle.

A basting cover for maintaining a humid environment for a food product. The basting cover includes a wall, a rigid band, and a flexible handle. The wall extends with a central wall portion and a side wall portion, the central wall portion having an external surface, the side wall portion extending outward from the central wall portion to a free end. Further, the side wall portion extends with thinned portions defined therein to facilitate the side wall portion to be moveable between an expanded use position and a collapsed storage position. The rigid band extends along a central wall periphery. The flexible handle is coupled to the central wall portion such that the flexible handle is disposed in a space between an outer edge of the rigid band and the external surface of the central wall portion.

An appliance operable in a first configuration as a blender and in a second configuration as a food processor, with safety mechanisms that work for both configurations. In the blender configuration, the appliance has safety mechanisms in a blade attachment that function to prevent the motor from operating unless the blade attachment is properly secured to the motor base and a blender container is properly secured to the blade attachment. In the food processor configuration, the appliance has safety mechanisms that function to prevent the motor from operating unless a food processor container is properly secured to the motor base and a lid is properly secured to the food processor container.

A continuous injector-baster device of embodiments of the disclosed technology includes at least one hollow and coiled tube through which liquid is heated and flows into a food product, as well as at least one spray head through while liquid is sprayed on the same food product. A pump circulates the liquid through the hollow and coiled tube and sprays it from the spray head.
