Disclosed is a cooking appliance including: a main body; a container detachably installed to an upper portion of the main body, and comprising a reservoir for accommodating an object to be processed and a handle portion protruding laterally from the reservoir; and an enclosure detachably installed to the upper portion of the main body to surround the reservoir, wherein the enclosure is formed in a dome shape having an opened lower end and has a handle through hole extending from the opened lower end and formed in a part of a side surface of the enclosure, so that at least a part of the handle penetrates the handle through hole and is exposed to an outside in a state where the enclosure is installed to the main body with the container.

A blender system includes a blender base housing a motor. A container assembly may be selectively and operatively attached to the blender base. The container assembly may include two or more compartments. The motor drives an input spindle of a blade assembly. The blade assembly may blend foodstuff within the two or more compartments.

A chassis and skin of a delivery Autonomous Ground Vehicle include discrete upper and lower thermal management systems. The lower thermal management system is indirect, as is moves air through a closed duct that is in contact with high-heat dissipating components via heat sinks. The upper thermal management system is direct, as it moves air into the interior cavity of the AGV to cool sensors and other electronic equipment.

Methods and devices to enhance cooking are described. A device to enhance cooking includes a shaft. The shaft has one end that is adapted to be outside an object and a second end to be inserted into the object. The shaft includes at least one opening that is coupled to the second end. The at least one opening of the shaft is configured to output at least a portion of the heat that travels through the first end of the shaft into the object to reduce a cooking time of the object.

A product preparation system and method wherein a single-use product container assembly and a multiple motion intelligent driving device are employed to process contents of the container assembly.

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.

The present disclosure provides a vacuum pumping device and a food processor. The vacuum pumping device includes an upper cover; a lower cover configured to cooperated with the upper cover to form a receiving cavity and including a connecting part at a lower portion of the lower cover, a wall of the receiving cavity defining an evacuation hole and an exhaust hole; a mounting support located in the receiving cavity and connected to the upper cover and/or the lower cover; a vacuum pump connected to the mounting support, and including an air inlet communicating with the evacuation hole and an air outlet communicating with the exhaust hole; a control circuit board connected to the mounting support and electrically connected to the vacuum pump; and a power supply device located in the receiving cavity and electrically connected to the control circuit board.

An automated food preparation apparatus configured to provide a completed provision, such as a bagel, optionally toasted, and optionally with a spread. The automated food preparation system includes a food placement and pickup station, a cutting station assembly, a toasting station assembly and a spread applying station assembly. The provision is directed between the station assemblies through a grasping, locating and moving system. The system includes a plurality of food engaging forks that are configured to releasably grasp the food preparation, and, in turn, to locate and move the food preparation therethrough.
