A kitchen appliance in the form of a multi-purpose frying pan includes a base, a cover with a hot air system, an inner pot, a stirrer and a stirrer drive device. The inner pot can be removed from the base. A pot cavity is formed between the lid cover and the inner pot and the stirrer is located in the pot cavity, and the stirrer drive device is installed in the pan. Covered and on the outside of the hot air system, the stirrer drive device drives the stirrer to rotate. The stirrer drive device is disposed on the lid to prevent water or oil from polluting the motor during the cleaning of the cookware. The stirrer drive device is arranged on the outside of the hot air system to effectively prevent the drive device from blocking the transmission of hot air from the hot air system to the inner pot.

A system and method for a process to prepare consumable food and/or drink products by means of precise heating and stirring for a set period of time. The system utilizes a variable rotation rate magnetic stirring process, a variable temperature heating process, and a timing process in order to prepare consumables. The magnetic stirrer provides agitation to a fluid medium and facilitates homogenous distribution of heat produced by the heating element throughout the fluid. This even distribution of heat creates an improved consumable preparation. The system is suitable for home use.

Systems and methods for shaping food items are provided. The systems and methods can shape the food items into taco shapes. A system can include a basket, a tool, and an insert. The basket includes troughs and a handle. The tool includes guides that receive patties made of, for example, potatoes, meat, and/or other food items. The insert includes wedges sized and shaped to fit through the guides and into the troughs of the basket. The tool is assembled with the basket in use, and frozen patties are placed in the guides. The insert is assembled with the tool such that the wedges contact the patties. The assembly is placed in hot oil to cook the patties. As the patties cook and soften, the insert moves downward relative to the tool and basket, and the wedges urge the patties into the troughs and into a taco shape.
