A food processing system has a wheel-shaped assembly having a stationary sub-assembly and a movable sub-assembly. The movable sub-assembly has three or more arms extending away from the stationary sub-assembly; three or more connecting rods; three or more pivoters; three or more rotators; and three or more food processing devices. The three or more food processing devices comprise a plurality of cooking chambers and a plurality of blenders. The three or more arms are rotatable about a first direction. A horizontal diameter of each connecting rod stays in a respective horizontal position parallel to a second direction perpendicular to the first direction during rotation of the respective arm about the first direction.

An automatic cooking machine includes: a first rotating shaft; a first motor for driving the first rotating shaft to rotate; a moving arm having: a first magnetic element, arranged on one of surfaces of the moving arm; and a blocking element having: a blocking plate; a tail portion; a connecting portion, positioned between the blocking plate and the tail portion; and a second magnetic element, arranged on one of surfaces of the connecting portion; wherein when the blocking element approaches the moving arm, the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element magnetically attract each other, causing the blocking element to detachably attach on the moving arm.

An electrical food preparation appliance includes a working container enclosing a tool rotated by a motor, a device for heating the contents of the working container and a removable lid that covers the working container, the lid having an opening for inserting ingredients into the working container, at least one steam exhaust orifice, and a removable measuring cap accommodated into said opening for inserting ingredients. The measuring cap can occupy at least two stable positions in the opening of the lid and in that the motion of the measuring cap from one stable position to the other makes it possible to vary the passage cross-section of the steam exhaust orifice.

An apparatus, including a food processor having a housing having a first section and second section, which second section is elongate in shape and houses at least a portion of a rotating member; a food processing attachment connected or attached to an end portion of the second section; and a plate capable of serving as a cover or lid for a cooking pot capable of being heated by a heating source. The plate has an opening for receiving the second section which is capable of being slideably moveable in and through the opening in a bi-directional manner to raise or lower a position of the food processing attachment, or to move the food processing attachment up or down, inside the cooking pot by a movement of the second section vertically up or down through the opening during a cooking or food processing operation in the cooking pot.
