An induction heating cooker includes a housing, an inner pot including a bottom part that includes a first area and a second area, and an inner pot storage part disposed in the housing. The inner pot storage stores the inner pot in a manner that the inner pot can be set or removed. Also, a first heating coil is below the inner pot storage part, arranged in a position facing the first area of the inner pot, that heats the inner pot by induction. Also, a second heating coil is below the inner pot storage part, arranged in a position facing the second area of the inner pot, that heats the inner pot by induction. A driving unit in the housing supplies high frequency currents to the first heating coil and the second heating coil, and a controller controls the driving unit.

A cooking appliance includes a base including an upper surface having a cooktop, and a lid separable from the base, and including a heater assembly disposed therein. The cooking appliance further includes a control unit configured to operate at least one of the cooktop in the base or the heater assembly in the lid.

A removable container for a product to be cooked for use in a PEF cooking appliance has a treatment chamber including at least two PEF electrodes between which a product to be cooked can be introduced and to which PEF signals pulsed with alternating polarity can be applied. Further provided are a sensor and a sensor circuit which includes an energy supply device configured without battery and DC-isolated from the PEF cooking appliance, an evaluation circuit connected to the sensor and the energy supply device, and a data transmission device connected to the evaluation circuit and the energy supply device. The data transmission device is configured to transmit data received from the evaluation circuit to the PEF cooking appliance in a non-electrical manner.

An electromagnetic cooking device and method of controlling the same is provided herein. The cooking device has a cavity in which popcorn is placed and a plurality of RF feeds configured to introduce electromagnetic radiation into the cavity for popping the popcorn. A controller is provided and is configured to: analyze forward and backward power at the plurality of RF feeds to calculate efficiency; determine and monitor a coefficient of variation of the efficiency; detect a popping state of the popcorn based on changes in the coefficient of variation; and adjust a power level of the electromagnetic radiation in response to detection of the popping state.

A device including a housing (12) sealingly enclosing an interior space (14), the housing including (12) a screen (20) having an internal surface (11) subject to air pressure in the interior space (14). Electronic components (22) disposed in the interior space and connected to the screen (20) to operate the device. A power cord (13) having one end terminating within the internal space (14) and another end connectable to an external power source. The power cord (13) has metallic conductors, and at least one air path to vent the interior space (14) to ambient air pressure.

An apparatus for agitating liquid foodstuff, comprising a whisk that includes a magnetic rotor of a brushless electromotor assembly, and a main body including a liquid foodstuff container in which the whisk is receivable such that it is rotatable around a rotation axis thereof, and a stator of the electromotor assembly. The stator is configured to electromagnetically drive the rotor in rotation, and includes at least one magnetic sensor configured to provide a signal that reflects positional changes of the magnetic rotor relative to the magnetic sensor. The main body also includes a controller configured to detect an initial, manually effected rotational movement of the whisk around its rotation axis from the signal of the magnetic sensor, and, once such initial movement of the whisk is detected, to operate the apparatus independent of said initial, movement.

An electric kitchen appliance has a pot for receiving food to be processed using the electric kitchen appliance. An ultrasound transmitter and an ultrasound receiver are provided in order to determine the fill level of the food in the pot. The ultrasound transmitter and the ultrasound receiver are attached to the upper edge of the pot such that an ultrasound signal can be transmitted onto the surface of the food by the ultrasound transmitter, and an ultrasound signal reflected by the surface of the food can be received by the ultrasound receiver. In this manner, an electric kitchen appliance is provided which allows the fill state of the food in the pot to be determined in a simple and reliable manner.

Systems and methods are provided for facilitating food preparation. The method includes opening, using an electronic device, a digital application, creating a user profile with the digital application, selecting, using a graphical user interface, one or more grocery stores to be designated grocery stores, selecting, using the graphical user interface, a recipe for preparation by a user, displaying, using the graphical user interface, a list of one or more ingredients required for preparation of the recipe, selecting, using the graphical user interface in conjunction with the digital application, one or more items in the list of the one or more ingredients required for preparation of the recipe, ordering, using the digital application, any items selected from the one or more items in the list of the one or more ingredients required for preparation of the recipe, and displaying, to the user, using the graphical user interface, the recipe.

The electric cooking appliance comprises a cooking vat; a lid (6) comprising a lid body (7) and an inner lid (8) comprising a fixed closure portion (12) attached to the lid body (7) and a movable closure portion (13) that can be moved relative to the fixed closure portion (12) between a raised configuration in which the fixed closure portion (12) and the movable closure portion (13) close the cooking vat, and a lowered configuration in which the fixed closure portion (12) and the movable closure portion (13) define an air vent passage (14) to the outside of the cooking volume (5) and an air intake passage (15) to the inside of the cooking volume (5); a fan (24) configured to generate an airflow; and a heating device (25) configured to heat the airflow generated by the fan (24) and located near the air intake passage (25) when the lid (6) occupies the closed position.

A cooking appliance includes an appliance cover, appliance body and inner lid, the appliance cover arranged above the appliance body in a closable and openable manner, the appliance body having a heating structure. The appliance cover includes a cover body that includes a venting passage providing communication between the cooking appliance and the outside, the inner lid detachably mounted to the cover body; a baking assembly arranged below the cover body, the inner lid located below the baking assembly when mounted to the cover body; a venting cap detachably mounted at any one end of the two ends of the venting passage, wherein the venting cap is assembled at a bottom end of the venting passage when the inner lid is dismounted, and the venting cap is assembled at a top end of the venting passage after the inner lid is mounted.
