Described is a control method for dispensing a hot fluid in a fluid dispensing device, which comprises a power supply source; a source of fluid to be heated; a feed unit configured for picking up the fluid to be heated; a boiler or heat exchanger; a dispensing device configured for dispensing the hot fluid and a data control and processing system which actuates the following steps: a measurement of inlet parameters comprising at least an inlet power value and an inlet temperature of the fluid towards the boiler or heat exchanger; a cyclical calculation of a quantity of heat generated which must supply the boiler or heat exchanger and/or a quantity of fluid dispensed; consequent adjustment of the value of heat generated by the boiler or heat exchanger and/or the quantity of fluid dispensed, as a function of the measurements of the inlet parameters and of a wanted or desired value of outlet temperature of the fluid; the above-mentioned measurement, cyclical calculation and adjustment steps are performed simultaneously and in real time during a step of dispensing fluid by the dispensing device.

A Thermos Coffee Maker having a main thermos body, a lid member, a screen member and a screen retaining assembly. The screen retaining assembly includes a threaded cylindrical member and a screen retaining ring. The lid has internal threads and is attached to the upper portion of the screen retaining assembly. The screen retaining assembly is attached at its lower end to the internally threaded portion of the main thermos body. The screen is trapped between the screen retaining ring and a ledge located on the interior of the screen retaining assembly. The user to pours ground coffee into the main thermos body then pours in hot water and screws on the lid. The coffee is allowed to brew-steep. The brewed coffee can be poured through the screen member thereby blocking the coffee grounds and allowing brewed coffee to be poured from the main thermos to a coffee cup.

A stand mixer includes a casing forming a base, a column extending from the base, and a motor housing connected to the column, the casing including an air inlet and an air outlet; a motor assembly provided within the motor housing, the motor assembly including a motor shaft; and a cooling fan provided adjacent to the air inlet, the cooling fan being rotatable about a fan shaft. The fan shaft is separate from the motor shaft and the cooling fan is operated independently from the motor assembly.

A coffee machine is provided. The coffee machine may include a water line configured to supply water, a pump configured to pressurize the water, a first in-line heating element configured to heat the water to an intermediate temperature, a second in-line heating element configured to heat the water from the intermediate temperature to a temperature set point during an extraction process, and one or more electronic control modules configured to receive brewing settings, the brewing settings including the at least one temperature set point, estimate, based partially on the intermediate temperature, a flow rate of the water through the first in-line heating element, and adjust, based at least partially on the estimated flow rate, a power provided to the second in-line heating element.

A machine (100) for preparing coffee includes a boiler (40) for water in which a funnel-shaped filter (7) configured to contain the coffee is positioned, a collector (15) to collect the drink end that comes out from a collection duct (45), electrical power supply means (3), an element (18) for electric heating of the liquid in the boiler (40), a valve (44) interposed between funnel filter (7) and boiler (40), which can be closed again to allow a pre-set temperature and pressure to be reached inside the boiler (40), before being reopened to bring water and steam from the boiler (40) to the coffee contained in the funnel filter (7), air pumping means (20), an electronic system for controlling water and steam delivery from the boiler (40).

Implementations claimed and described herein provide system and methods for controlling griddle temperature. In one implementation, a temperature measurement of a region of a griddle top is obtained. The temperature measurement is captured using one or more sensors. A set temperature range is obtained for the region of the griddle top. The temperature measurement is compared to the set temperature range. One or more burners are adjusted based on whether the temperature measurement is within the set temperature range. The temperature of the region of the griddle top is maintained within the set temperature range using the one or more burners.

The present disclosure relates to a food processor for preparing a food in a pot. The food processor comprises the pot, a heating element for heating the pot or a food in the pot, and a temperature sensor for detecting a temperature T.sub.SUR, T.sub.MED of the pot or a food in the pot. The food processor comprises a monitoring device which is configured such that the monitoring device can detect an exceeding of a boiling point SP of a food in the pot on the basis of a temperature measurement value T.sub.NTC(k) of the temperature sensor and an electrical measurement value u(k), which depends on an energy supply to the heating element. Furthermore, the present disclosure relates to a process and a computer program product. A food processor with boiling point detection can thus be made available with particularly low production effort.

A system for estimating remaining cooking time obtains a target temperature, obtains an ambient temperature value, and receives a plurality of inner temperature values based on temperature data obtained by a relevant inner temperature sensor at a plurality of different timepoints. The system also calculates a plurality of natural logarithm values including, for each particular inner temperature value of the plurality of inner temperature values, a natural logarithm of a difference between the ambient temperature value and the particular inner temperature value. The system also determines a linear regression line that models a relationship between the plurality of natural logarithm values and the plurality of different timepoints, obtains a slope value and an interception value based on the linear regression line, and determines a remaining time based on the interception value, the slope value, and a natural logarithm of a difference between the ambient temperature value and the target temperature.

A cooking control method of a cooking apparatus includes steps of heating a cooking chamber of the cooking apparatus to an ambient temperature by a heating unit of the cooking apparatus, detecting the ambient temperature of the cooking chamber, maintaining the ambient temperature of the cooking chamber, maintaining the ambient temperature of the cooking chamber at a predetermined set temperature by controlling the heating unit when the ambient temperature of the cooking chamber reaches the predetermined set temperature, detecting an inner temperature of an inner portion of the cooking object, and controlling the heating unit to heat the cooking chamber to maintain at an appropriate cooking temperature when the inner temperature of the cooking object reaches the appropriate cooking temperature so as to cook the cooking object at the appropriate cooking temperature in the cooking chamber.
