This invention proposes a chopping accessory for chopping food ingredients, comprising: a chopping space having a side wall for containing the food ingredients to be chopped, said side wall having an inner surface facing the chopping space (41); the chopping accessory is arranged to cooperate with a rotatable chopping element (30) for chopping food ingredients in the chopping space during operation, the chopping element comprising at least one rotatable chopping knife (32), the chopping knife having a knife tip (35) at its distal end; and wherein the inner surface of the side wall of the chopping space comprises at least one groove for accommodating the knife tip during operation. By virtue of the proposed solution, the gap between the tip of the chopping knife and the inner surface of the side wall can be eliminated, thereby improving the chopping efficiency of the device.

A food mixing machine includes a mixer body including a column and a head extending from the column. A rotatable output member extends downward from the head for receiving a mixer tool. A bowl support is mounted for vertical movement along the column between a lowered position away from the head and a raised position toward the head. A drive assembly is linked to selectively drive the rotatable output member. A user interface, including a touch-screen display, is located on the mixer body. A controller is associated with the user interface, wherein the controller is configured to communicate mixing machine condition information via the touch-screen display.

A countertop cooking appliance is an apparatus that is used to manufacture food, particularly cheeses, with controlled heating, mixing, drainage, and pressure cycles. The apparatus is also configured to accept various cooking patterns for different foods based on different recipes. A perforated drainer is used to hold ingredients for mixing, completed cheese curds, and the finalized cheese product. A processing receptacle is a container that holds the perforated drainer and temporarily stores whey and process byproducts. A byproduct receptacle is a storage unit for whey and other liquid byproducts produced in the cheese development process. A fluid pump applies pressure to fluids collected in the processing receptacle, transferring them to the byproduct receptacle. A linear actuator provides mechanical power to one of several detachable food-interacting heads, which consequently chops, mixes, or otherwise agitates the contents of the perforated container.

An electric mixer can include a motor, an interchangeable paddle assembly, and a mounting plate. The mounting plate attaches to the top of a cooking vessel and includes a pair of clamping plates adapted to span a diameter of various size cooking vessels. The motor is attached to the mounting plate and is operably connected to the paddle assembly providing power to rotate the paddle and stir the contents of the cooking vessel.

A peanut butter mixer system including: a screw-mixer formed as a continuous rod member having sequential looped coils along a length of said continuous rod member and terminating with a cutting edge; wherein said screw-mixer is powered via a motor and a power source as manipulated by a user-operator to re-mix peanut butter in a provided container. The screw-mixer is powered via the motor and power source as manipulated by a user-operator.
