    摘要: The present invention relates to an apparatus (10) for simultaneously cooking white rice and a whole grain product. It is described to receive (110) by an input unit a user preference relating to cooked white rice. It is described to contain (120) in a first container a whole grain product and contain in the first container a fluid for cooking the whole grain product. A first heater is configured to heat the first container. It is described to contain (130) in a second container white rice and contain in the second container a fluid for cooking the white rice. A second heater is configured to heat the second container. The first container is positioned adjacent to the second container. A dispenser is in fluid communication with the first container and in fluid communication with the second container. It is described to cook (140) under the control of a processing unit the whole grain rice and the white rice over a total cooking period according to the user preference. The total cooking period comprises a first cooking period during which at least some of the fluid in the first container is dispensed to the second container. It is described to control (150) by the processing unit the first and second heaters such that a temperature in the first container during the first cooking period is greater than a temperature in the second container at the same time point.

    摘要: A domestic food processing apparatus is for rotary food processing, in which a food temperature is controlled to be in the range 50.0 to 75.0 degrees Celsius during or immediately after processing. Food such as fruit or vegetables may be processed, for example blended or juiced. The heating process is used to deactivate ascorbate oxidase so that it does not break down vitamin C after the fruit or vegetables have been blended or juiced. The temperature is high enough to provide deactivation of the ascorbate oxidase but not so high as to destroy the vitamin C by overheating. An ultrasound system (28, 30) is used to generate heat and also turbulence thus giving a combined stirring and heating effect, and the stirring effect partially destroys ascorbate oxidase activity through mechanical processes in addition to the temperature dependent effects.
