A machine and method for charging culinary cream whippers, by automatically injecting nitrous oxide, which makes it possible to optimise the charging time of culinary whippers and the availability of nitrous oxide for culinary whippers is disclosed, which has: a cabinet, wherein a first compartment is defined with its front portion open, at the base of which a nitrous oxide intake unit is arranged, external to this first compartment. The intake unit in the first compartment connects with a charging spout of the culinary whipper; inside the cabinet, in a second compartment, with a door, are provided at least one high-pressure nitrous oxide cylinder and the corresponding pneumatic, electric and electronic connections; and in the front of the machine is defined a control panel that makes it possible to operate the machine.

Formulation and dispenser systems create dairy based toppings for beverages. The dispensers include a container, valve, and an actuator for the valve. The formulations include a liquid product and a propellant. The liquid product includes a certain percentage of milkfat provided, for example, by heavy cream, skim milk, nonfat dry milk, sweeteners, and an emulsifier. The propellant is nitrous oxide or nitrogen.

A device for continuous heating of fluids, using steam, includes a first tubular circuit, having one inlet and one outlet, in which to fluid or mixture of liquids with gases to be heated is circulated, and a second tubular circuit in which the heating steam is circulated. The first tubular circuit comprises a section that is helically wound around a section of the axial length of a hollow first cylindrical body, closed at both ends. The device further comprises a hollow second hollow cylindrical body in which said first cylindrical body and said helically wound section are coaxially housed. The second cylindrical body is closed at both ends and has radial passageways communicating between the cavity of said first cylindrical body and the cavity of said second cylindrical body. The first cylindrical body, second cylindrical body and radial passageways forming part of said second tubular circuit.

A bulbous or spherically shaped food product container for heating or cooking various food products by means of steam in order to cook multiple sized portions of food products within relatively short cooking times is dis-closed. When steam flows into the food product container, the food product is cooked by the steam. The use of the unique bulb-shaped or spherical food product container enables more than a single or individual food product portion to be cooked within the food product container, and the use of the steam, in conjunction with the bulbous or spherically-shaped food product container, causes the steam and food product to undergo turbulent, rotational, or swirling flow within the bulbous or spherically-configured food product container whereby the food product is greatly dispersed, effectively thinned, and is caused to travel along the internal peripheral surface areas of the bulbous or spherical food product container such that cooking times are dramatically reduced.

A wine decanter includes a control circuit board; and a water pump, an air pump, a power supply and a switch electronically connected with the control circuit board respectively. An inlet end of the water pump is connected to one end of a first connecting pipe, an outlet end of the water pump is connected to one end of a second connecting pipe; an outlet end of the air pump is connected to one end of the gas pipe, and the other end of the gas pipe is connected to any position of the liquid flow path which includes the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe; the red wine drawn by the water pump is mixed with air injected by the air pump in the liquid flow path for decanting.
