A method includes the step of receiving a first weight value from a sensor associated with a feed mixer. A first rotation speed associated with the first weight value is monitored. A second weight value is received from the sensor associated with the feed mixer and a second rotation speed associated with the second weight value is monitored. A mixing profile is generated based on the first weight value, the second weight value, the first rotation speed, and the second rotation speed. In one embodiment, a first feed ingredient is associated with the first weight value and a second feed ingredient is associated with the second weight value.

A roasting system is provided in a form factor of a countertop roasting device including a blower and a roasting assembly in fluid communication with the blower. The roasting assembly receives air from the blower with a heating element of the roasting assembly producing a heated air stream fed through the roasting assembly. An agitator in the roasting assembly agitates the food product. A food product is received in a container of the roasting assembly, with the heated air stream roasting the food product. The system includes a plurality of sensors and a controller that adjusts operating characteristics of the system based on whether a shell of the food product has cracked during roasting, as determined with the microphone. A waste product from the food product is separated during roasting and collected in a waste collection assembly with a spray bar assisting with smoke suppression.
