The present invention relates to an automatic cooking system with a cooking tool, further comprising an ingredient storage and feeding apparatus and an ingredient conveying and dispensing apparatus; wherein, the ingredient storage and feeding apparatus comprises a plurality of storage units with inlets and outlets, a plurality of ingredient boxes are provided between the inlets and outlets; the ingredient conveying and dispensing apparatus is provided with a work position, which is located on one side of the cooking tool; and the ingredient conveying and dispensing apparatus transports the ingredient boxes to the work position and then rotates so that the ingredient boxes are turned over to pour the required ingredients into the cooking tool. The present invention provides an innovative automatic cooking system, which realizes the integration of the classified storage and transportation of ingredients, and a single ingredient is used as a storage unit, and ingredients can be automatically transported from different storage units to the pot according to the order of adding the ingredients to the dishes, so that one cooking machine can cook more different dishes, thereby avoiding the change of the taste due to pre-mixing of multiple ingredients, and reducing the labor demand.

A method of washing induction cookware having a cookware content, using induction heating and a water jet, and comprising a washing process having the steps of: heating the cookware during a washing cycle; washing the cookware in the washing cycle with a cold-water jet; drying the cookware after the washing cycle; heat sanitization of the cookware; and steam sanitization of the cookware, whereby the washing process is analyzed by a vision system, the washing process is controlled and adjusted by a controller having parameters varying between each of the cookware content; whereby the parameters are derived from an interfaced cooking apparatus and from a manual input and whereby the vision system serves to regulate a water pressure, a water flow, a heating temperature, and time durations between each of the cookware content, with each of the cookware content having a cooking base, a food contact surface, recipe ingredients cooked, a cooking temperature, and a cooking duration.

A dishwasher and method for treating dishes according to a cycle of operation, wherein the dishwasher can include a tub at least partially defining a treating chamber, a dish rack movably received within the treating chamber and a spray system fluidly connected to the water supply. The dish rack is configured for receiving dishes or utensils for treatment during the cycle of operation. The spray system can include a set of sprayers located within the treating chamber that are configured to selectively emit spray from the water supply onto dishes or utensils on the dish rack.

An article washing device for countertop cleaning of nursing bottles includes a plurality of walls, which are engaged to and positioned in a housing to define a refill reservoir for holding water, a wash compartment, a drain basin positioned under and in fluidic communication with the wash compartment, a heated compartment, and a chamber within the heated compartment. A tray is selectively insertable through a slot in the housing so that the tray is in fluidic communication with the chamber. The tray holds detergent selectively delivers an effective amount of the detergent to the chamber to generate a cleaning solution. A plurality of spray arms is positioned in the wash compartment. An article is positionable over a respective spray arm. A heater selectively heats the cleaning solution and a pump selectively pumps the cleaning solution and water through the respective spray arm to clean and to rinse the article, respectively.

A vessel rinsing apparatus including a mounting base, a fluid discharge member including a plurality of nozzles, a valve member operably coupled to the fluid discharge member and configured to control water flow through the nozzles, and an escutcheon supported by the mounting base.

A method and a dishwasher utilize a dock detection system to determine when a connector of a spray device is docked to a docking port provided on a manifold of the dishwasher. A dock detector is coupled to the docking port and is electrically coupled to a controller of the dishwasher through electrical conductors that extend along the manifold, thereby enabling a dishwasher controller to detect when spray devices are coupled to the manifold, e.g., to optimize a wash cycle to use a particular spray device docked to the docking port.

A household dishwasher includes a washing compartment and a spray device arranged inside the washing compartment and configured to spray washing liquor and/or clean water within the washing container. The spray device includes a cage and a rotary element which is mounted in the cage for rotation about an axis of rotation. The rotary element includes a bearing surface which is radially distanced from the axis of rotation and extending around the axis of rotation for enabling the rotary element to be mounted rotatably in the cage.
