Method for dispensing a recipe includes measuring characterization data for components of a recipe. A signal representing an instruction to dispense the recipe is received at a processor operably coupled to a dispenser. In response to receiving the signal representing the instruction to dispense, an instruction set is generated based on the recipe and the characterization data. The instruction set is executed, to cause a series of delivery events of the components. Prior to each individual delivery event comprising the instruction set, a deviation, from their predetermined setpoints, is detected in a temperature and/or a pressure of the microfluidic dispenser. In response to detecting the deviation in temperature and/or pressure, the processor automatically causes an adjustment to one or more instructions from the instruction set based on the detected variation such that the amount of each component delivered more closely conforms to the amount specified in the recipe.

Disclosed is a cooking appliance including: a main body; a container detachably installed to an upper portion of the main body, and comprising a reservoir for accommodating an object to be processed and a handle portion protruding laterally from the reservoir; and an enclosure detachably installed to the upper portion of the main body to surround the reservoir, wherein the enclosure is formed in a dome shape having an opened lower end and has a handle through hole extending from the opened lower end and formed in a part of a side surface of the enclosure, so that at least a part of the handle penetrates the handle through hole and is exposed to an outside in a state where the enclosure is installed to the main body with the container.

A detachable capsule-breaching head for a beverage-mixing device. The capsule-breaching head comprises a capsule 48-container body having a first body part which is telescopically movable on an actuation axis A relative to a second body part. The capsule-breaching head further has at least one capsule-receiving chamber in the first body part and a capsule-breaching element at the second body part movable relative to the capsule-receiving chamber on the actuation axis A. A discharge guide element guides a powder released from a capsule, an openable closure element sealingly closes the discharge guide element, and a removable access cover closes an access opening of the capsule-receiving chamber.

Provided is a blending system, including a blending container for use with an immersion blender. The blending container may include curved or domed bottom surface that extends into a cavity of the container and that is configured to engage with the bell of the immersion blender. The blending container may prevent one or more of: splashing of foodstuff during the blending process, suction of the immersion blender to a bottom of the container during use, or cavitation of the foodstuff. The containers may direct foodstuff within the container or towards the immersion blender to prevent splashing and facilitate mixing of foodstuff. The blending container may further include an annular shoulder that tapers inwardly from a sidewall of the container to an open end.

A blender system includes a blender base housing a motor. A container assembly may be selectively and operatively attached to the blender base. The container assembly may include two or more compartments. The motor drives an input spindle of a blade assembly. The blade assembly may blend foodstuff within the two or more compartments.

The invention relates to a household appliance (100), in particular a kitchen appliance (100) for preparing food, comprising a processing device (110) for at least partially automatically carrying out a household activity, in particular for processing ingredients, wherein the processing device (110) is controlled by a control unit (102). Further, the household appliance (100) comprises a position device (120) for detecting position information (200) of a user (1) operating the household appliance (100), the position information (200) being transmitted to the control unit (102). Furthermore, the household appliance (100) has a display (130) which is adapted to reproduce image information (140) determined by the control unit (102), wherein the image information (140) reproduced by the display (130) generates an impression of depth at the user (1) and is dependent on at least the position information (200) of the user (1). Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for operating a household appliance (100).

A stirring wand is configured for selective engagement with a mixing device. The stirring wand comprises a substantially vertical portion having an upper end and a lower end, a first tapered surface that includes a first pitch angle proximate the upper end of the substantially vertical portion and a second pitch angle proximate the lower end of the substantially vertical portion, a substantially horizontal portion having a base and a distal tip, and a second tapered surface extending from the base to the distal tip. The second tapered surface includes a third pitch angle proximate the base and a fourth pitch angle proximate the tip.

A mixing tool lock fixes a mixing tool in a container of a kitchen appliance, such as a stand mixer for kneading, mixing or grinding ingredients. The locking device includes a tool holder in which the mixing tool is rotatably mounted, and a fixing device for the tool holder. The tool holder also has a releasing device for releasing the mixing tool from the container. The locking device can be attached to the lower outside of a container having a bottom opening on the lower outside. The size of the opening corresponds at least to the diameter of the casing of the mixing tool so that the tool-side components of the mixing tool can be passed completely through the bottom opening from the outside. A kitchen appliance includes a drive, a housing that accommodates the drive, at least one mixing tool, and a container having the locking device.

A blender container and puck assembly is generally described. The puck assembly may include a retainer nut that affix a blade assembly to the blender container. The puck assembly is not directly fastened to the container. The puck assembly may include an identification tag that interacts with a transponder.
