A kitchen appliance is disclosed includes a first electrical component, a second electrical component, and a wireless power receiver system. The wireless power receiver system includes a first receiver antenna configured to couple with a first transmission antenna and receive virtual AC power signals from the first transmission antenna. A second receiver antenna is configured to couple with a second transmission antenna and receive virtual DC power signals from the second transmitter antenna. A first receiver power conditioning system is configured to receive the virtual AC power signals, convert the virtual AC power signals to AC received power signals, and provide the AC received power signals to power the first electrical component. The second receiver power conditioning system configured to receive the virtual DC power signals, convert the virtual DC power signals to DC received power signals, and provide the DC received power signals to power the second electrical component.

A measured powder dispenser has a hopper feeding powder down into a measured dispensing mechanism. The measured dispensing mechanism has an inlet and an outlet and a measuring container operable therebetween. The measuring container is rotatably engaged about a rotation axis generally orthogonal to an inlet axis of the inlet such that an exterior surface thereof moves across the inlet when the measuring container rotates. The measuring container has an interior volume adjustable measurement chamber recessed within the exterior surface such that, in use, at a first rotational position, the measurement chamber aligns with the inlet to accept a measured amount of powder therein from the power container and, when rotated to a second rotational position, the exterior surface seals across the inlet and the measurement chamber aligns with the outlet to dispense the measured amount of powder therefrom.

A metal basin was designed for preparing syrups for use in ‘sugar on snow’ as well as utilize remnants in additional recipes such as coffee or tea. The invention has a geometry that is capable of pouring viscous materials into long, thin strips and filter sediments suspended in a liquid. The invention can be used to the discretion of its operator and is not bound to perform only the tasks specified or in any particular order.
