A method for operating an appliance, such as a stand mixer, is provided. In one example implementation, the method can include operating a motor of the appliance in a first direction. The method can further include detecting, by a feedback system of the appliance, a first trigger condition. The method can further include, responsive to detecting the first trigger condition, operating the motor of the appliance in a second direction that is different than the first direction.

A method for operating an appliance, such as a stand mixer appliance, is provided. In one example implementation, the method can include operating a motor of the stand mixer appliance in order to rotate a mixer shaft of the stand mixer appliance. The method can further include determining, via a controller of the stand mixer appliance, a difference between an operating parameter and an operating parameter threshold. The method can further include implementing, via the controller of the stand mixer appliance, a field-weakening operation to increase a speed of the motor based at least in part on the difference.

A method for translating cooking time and temperatures for prepackaged food products. The sous-vide program allows users to cook to a food manufacturer recommended doneness based on the size, shape and fat content of the food. The program also lets user adjust setting if the users modified the food product like cut it in half. The program can be located on the sous vide cooking device or on person computing device.

A system and apparatus for translating cooking time and temperatures from arrays of pictures of foods cooked to different degrees of doneness or other type of result. The system enables users to select a desired doneness from pictures of food and optionally add additional modifiers it based on the size, weight, shape, and fat content of the meat with additional pictures indexed to different modification parameters. The system enables users to adjust a setting if the user has modified the food he or she intends to cook, such as by cutting in half, or if the food was frozen, allowing additional cook time and parameter modifications. A program of instructions pertaining to the system can be located on a sous vide cooking device or on a device external to the a sous vide device, such as on a personal computing device.

A multifunction cooking range with sous-vides functionality. Cooking ranges are found in every home and in every restaurant; with the addition of a high precision temperature controller attached to the heating elements, a fluidic temperature control device, the range can also be configured to enable sous-vide cooking. By using a pot filled with fluid located on a burner, the user would immerse a fluidic temperature control device in the pot while using the burner with a heating element that is modulated by the controller and temperature sensor.

A transmission apparatus includes a DC motor, a level one transmission assembly, a level two transmission assembly, a level three transmission assembly, and a level four transmission assembly. The DC motor is connected to the level one transmission assembly, to drive the level one transmission assembly to act; the level one transmission assembly drives the level two transmission assembly to act; the level two transmission assembly drives the level three transmission assembly to act; the level three transmission assembly outputs kinetic energy and transforms a vertical motion into a horizontal motion through the level four transmission assembly. The transmission apparatus can output kinetic energy in many directions through a motor. One machine is endowed with a variety of machine functions. An output shaft of DC motor is directly connected to tapered gear, to make the structure more compact. A cook machine with the transmission apparatus is also provided.

The present disclosure provides an ice cream maker. The ice cream maker including: a cutter configured for mixing and cutting food materials; a driving structure for converting electrical energy into kinetic energy; a lifting member driven by the driving structure to move in a longitudinal direction of the lifting member; and a receiving cavity configured for accommodating the driving structure and the lifting member, and formed by an upper housing and a lower housing; wherein the cutter is detachably connected to the upper housing; the upper housing is driven by the lifting member to move in the longitudinal direction so as to vary a distance in the longitudinal direction between a top end of the upper housing and a bottom end of the lower housing.

A food processing device may be capable of blending foodstuff. The device may include an immersion blender having a shaft enclosed within a shaft housing, the shaft may be in operable connection with a first rotatable blade; a gearbox in operable connection with the immersion blender; a coupling unit having a wall and a slidable member; and a driver. The immersion blender may be configured to rotate the first rotatable blade. The coupling unit may be configured to connect the gearbox to the driver. The food processing device may further include a food processing container with a second rotatable blade. The immersion blender may be configured to rotate said second rotatable blade.

A food processing device capable of chopping foodstuff can be used indoors and suitable to be used outdoors. The device may include a food processing container with a base, a wall, and a removable lid with an opening and a pass-through aperture, the base having a cylindrical protrusion and a pin extending therefrom; a food processing tool with a shaft and a plurality of blades, the food processing tool is configured to be connected to the pin extending from the base; a connector; a coupling unit having a wall and a slidable member; and a driver The connector may be configured to connect the food processing tool to the coupling unit. The coupling unit may be configured to connect the connector to the driver.

The invention relates to a hand-held electrically driven domestic appliance and to a corresponding method for controlling the hand-held electrically driven domestic appliance. The domestic appliance includes an electric motor for driving the domestic appliance; a control unit for controlling the motor; a first actuation element for outputting a first control signal to the control unit in order to select a motor control mode; and a second actuation element for outputting a second control signal to the control unit. The control unit is designed to select a motor actuation mode from the specified motor actuation modes on the basis of the first control signal, and the control unit is designed to determine a motor actuation signal to be output to the motor on the basis of the selected motor actuation mode and the second control signal.
