A food processing machine includes a head extending over a bowl receiving location, the head including an output shaft driven in a planetary manner. A food processing assembly is mounted below the head and includes a drive assembly for converting planetary motion of the output shaft to a rotational motion of a food processing tool drive shaft about a stationary shaft axis. The food processing assembly includes a food processing tool that can be removed.

A mixing appliance assembly includes a housing, which includes a motor and shaft operably coupled with the motor and extending outwardly from the housing. A top handle is operably coupled with a top end of the housing and includes a pulse button and a continuous run switch. A side port is disposed in the housing and configured to receive a port connecting member and includes an interlocking feature. An interlock switch is disposed inside the side port. A switch engagement member is configured to engage the interlock switch such that the continuous run switch can be depressed. A bowl clamp is engageable with the side port and configured to removably secure the housing to a bowl and includes the switch engagement member. A side handle is engageable with the side port and is configured to be removably coupled with the housing and aid a user in handling the mixing appliance.

There is disclosed a food processing assembly. The assembly includes: a lid for a container, wherein the lid is adapted to receive a drive for driving a tool within the container; and a wiper for wiping an inner wall of the container.

A compact cold press grinder that fits within a user's hand that includes a cold press grinder and a container that holds consumables, such as fruits, vegetables, seeds, aquatic plants, and/or other nutritious consumable. The cold press grinder crushes and grinds the consumables to a liquid paste or juice using friction forces, shear forces and pressure (e.g. hydraulic press). The cold press grinder includes a housing that is removably attachable to the container. The cold press grinder may include an input for receiving the consumables within the container and a plurality of nip roller pairs that grind the consumables. The cold press grinder has one output to output the consumable as is or the liquid paste or the juice prepared by the cold press grinder and does not include an output to output consumable waste products.

Blending devices can be used to blend material in a container such as a reusable container or a disposable liner, such as a paper or plastic cup. In some instances, a reusable container can be coupled to an adapter that includes a blade assembly to blend a food product. The food product can be blended directly within the container when the container is coupled to the adapter. In further instances, the reusable container can selectively couple a liner or multiple different sizes of liners to the adapter. The food product can be blended within the liner without any of the food product coming into contact with an interior of the container.

An apparatus, including a food processor having a housing having a first section and second section, which second section is elongate in shape and houses at least a portion of a rotating member; a food processing attachment connected or attached to an end portion of the second section; and a plate capable of serving as a cover or lid for a cooking pot capable of being heated by a heating source. The plate has an opening for receiving the second section which is capable of being slideably moveable in and through the opening in a bi-directional manner to raise or lower a position of the food processing attachment, or to move the food processing attachment up or down, inside the cooking pot by a movement of the second section vertically up or down through the opening during a cooking or food processing operation in the cooking pot.

An apparatus, including a cooking pot; and a food processor including a housing having a first section and second section, a food processing attachment, and a plate. The first section houses an electric motor. The second section is elongate in shape and houses a portion of a rotating member. The second section has a first end portion, connected or attached to the first section, and a second end portion. The food processing attachment contains a food processing element connected or attached to the second end portion of the second section. The rotating member is mechanically connected or coupled to the food processing attachment. The plate is sized to be placed on, or attached to, a top of the cooking pot. The plate contains an opening for receiving the second section which is capable of being slideably moved in and through the opening in the plate in both directions.

A stirring device applicable to containers is disclosed, which includes a power module, a control module and a driver module. The power module provides power for this whole device, the driver module is equipped with an output shaft, and the output shaft is connected to a stirring rod extending into an interior of the container. The control module has specific forward and reverse rotations program scheme, its specific operation mode is that, the stirring rod is controlled to rotate in one direction for a number of seconds or revolutions, and then followed by in an opposite direction for a number of seconds or revolutions, and such cycle is repeated again and again. A mixer adopting above technical solutions can well meet requirements of churning such as stable, low noise, fast, uniform, and non-foaming.

There is disclosed an insert and sieve for use with a food processor having a processing tool, the insert comprising a disc having at least one aperture for the passage of food previously processed by the processing tool and, wherein in the disc is configured to be locatable in a sieve and be removable therefrom. Other aspects are included herein.
