A kitchen appliance has a control arrangement arranged to receive sound commands and to operate the appliance in response to the sound commands; a microphone arranged to receive sound comprising a sound command and to provide the sound to the control arrangement; and at least one acoustic filter configured to suppress from the sound provided to the control arrangement background noise created by operation of the kitchen appliance.

A food chilling apparatus for rapidly decreasing the temperature of liquid and semiliquid cooked foods. The food chilling apparatus having a stand portion, a base portion, and a pot portion. The stand portion having a motor, an attachment portion, and a vertical structural member. The base portion having a baseplate, an output shaft, and a cradle, wherein the pot portion is removably attached to the cradle. The food chilling apparatus further comprising a paddle.

The food breading device is configured for use with a target foodstuff and a coating foodstuff. The coating foodstuff has a bulk solid phase. The food breading device coats the coating foodstuff on the target foodstuff. The food breading device includes a containment shell, a paddle structure, and a timing device. The timing device attaches to the containment shell. The paddle structure mounts in the containment shell. The target foodstuff is placed inside the containment shell. The paddle structure is a rotating structure. The paddle structure rotates such that the paddle structure changes the position of the target foodstuff within the containment shell. The rotation of the paddle structure further releases the coating foodstuff onto the target foodstuff.
