A food spinner as an attachment for an electric hand blender comprises an outer bowl, an inner perforated basket and a two-part lid. The lid assembly has a recess for receiving a gearbox assembly, comprising a gearbox and a coupling that are driven by a hand blender. The gearbox element is configured to transfer, and possibly reduce, the rotational speed of the hand blender's motor to the coupling, which in turn transfers this speed to the drive plate of the lid. When in place and rotatably engaged, the drive plate transmits rotations from the driver unit to the perforated basket which may then spin food.

A combined rice-washing device of a cooking robot, the combined rice-washing device comprising a fixing pipe, a driving sleeve, a driving assembly, a telescopic assembly, a water feeding/discharge assembly and a control assembly, wherein the telescopic assembly comprises a telescopic pipe slidably connected to the driving sleeve, a lead screw nut connected to the inner wall of the telescopic pipe, and a hollow lead screw mating with the lead screw nut; a guided sliding portion is provided between the telescopic pipe and the driving sleeve, and an end of the telescopic pipe is connected to a rice washing and stirring assembly; and the hollow lead screw is provided with a sealing groove, and a sealing member that abuts against the telescopic pipe is arranged in the sealing groove. Accordingly, a rice washing process using the combined rice-washing device is further provided.

Provided is a residual toxicant detection system and a residual toxicant detection method, the residual toxicant detection method including: allowing an aqueous solution containing a residual toxicant to flow into a detection portion including a cavity; providing at a side of the cavity a light containing a specific wavelength range to react with the residual toxicant; receiving the light that passes through the cavity on another side of the cavity, thereby generating a sensing signal; and calculating an amount of change in absorbance of the aqueous solution according to the sensing signal, wherein when the amount of change in absorbance is less than a threshold value, a detection count is accumulated, and when the accumulated detection count is greater than a predetermined value, a detection result is generated. Therefore, whether or not the residual toxicant on the object is cleaned can be determined easily and accurately.

Various embodiments relate to a manual centrifuge food processing device. An example device includes a bowl and a spindle extending from an inner surface of the bowl. A mesh basket is removably coupled to the bowl and is structured to receive a food product. The mesh basket defines a hub structured to receive the spindle so as to facilitate rotation of the mesh basket relative to the bowl about the spindle. A lid is removably coupled to the bowl. The lid includes a drive mechanism structured to rotate the mesh basket in response to a manual input so as to drive liquid from the food product due to centrifugal force. Each of the bowl and the mesh basket is formed of metal.
