A liquid nitrogen dispenser is an apparatus that safely dispenses liquid nitrogen. The apparatus allows a user to create frozen food within a kitchen setting. The apparatus includes an anodized cover, an anodized mount, an anodized mount, a dispensing tube, a primary flow valve, a phase separator, an inlet, and an outlet. The anodized cover and the anodized mount house the primary flow valve. The dispensing tube defines a path for liquid nitrogen from the primary flow valve to the phase separator. The dispensing tube also positions and mounts the phase separator. The primary flow valve controls the flow liquid nitrogen. The phase separator provides better control of the liquid nitrogen dispensed from apparatus. The inlet and the outlet allow the primary flow valve to connect to a liquid nitrogen tank and to the phase separator, respectively, while housed within the anodized cover and the anodized mount.

The present disclosure relates generally to a beverage nucleator system that can initiate ice crystal nucleation by application of a directed flow of pressurized gas to the exterior of the fluid container containing a supercooled beverage. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a beverage nucleator system for a supercooled beverage container which may include a frame having a beverage container aperture for receiving a beverage container therein and a gas outlet positioned within the beverage container aperture for directing a flow of pressurized gas at a beverage container received therein.

Systems and methods of producing a frozen food product include dosing ingredients with a liquefied gas while mixing the ingredients using self-cleaning interlocking beaters. A system can include a container mount rotatable in a clockwise and counterclockwise direction, a coolant dosing system configured to provide coolant to ingredients in a container coupled to the container mount, at least one beater to mix ingredients in the container, and a controller to control the rotation of the container mount and the beaters, the controller performing a mixing process that includes rotating the beaters and the container mount in opposite directions for a first time period, rotating the beaters and the container mount in the same directions for a second time period, and rotating the beaters and the container mount in opposite directions for a third time period.
