An oven comprises a cooking cavity, a stirring member extending, in use, into foodstuff contained in a vessel disposed in the cooking cavity as well as drive means to provide, in use, relative movement between the stirring member and the vessel. The oven comprises a displacement device to move the stirring member from outside the cooking cavity through an opening in a wall bounding the cooking cavity into the cooking cavity as well as, in use, into the vessel disposed in the cooking cavity.

To prevent turbulence on a surface of a plating solution as much as possible and suppress spattering and splashing of the plating solution even when the plating solution is stirred. Provided is a wave absorbing member that is attachable to a paddle moveable in a horizontal direction to stir liquid. The wave absorbing member includes a thin plate shaped body portion configured to move on a liquid surface when moving in the horizontal direction and a front end portion designed to be tapered toward an end from the body portion.

Provided is a mixing apparatus. The mixing apparatus comprises a housing defining a primary chamber, an inlet for receiving material into the mixing apparatus, as well as an outlet for discharging material from the mixing apparatus. The housing provides within the primary chamber a plurality of rotating shafts, each rotating shaft having a plurality of flailing fixtures associated therewith.

Device (10) for measuring the level (L) of fluid (F) inside a tank (11) for containing said fluid (F), comprising at least one mobile level blade (12) positioned, during use, inside the tank (11) and at least one sensor (14) configured to detect at least one position of said level blade (12) and positioned, during use, outside the tank (11), wherein said level blade (12) is configured to interact with said sensor (14) in order to determine the level (L) of fluid (F) in the tank (11) in relation to a threshold level (LI), in correspondence with which said sensor (14) is preferably positioned.
