Abstract: A dicer assembly for a food processor appliance includes a blade unit that has a driven hub, a first arm that extends from the driven hub, and a second arm that extends from the driven hub opposite the first arm. A first blade is connected to and extends along the first arm. A first trolley extends from the first arm opposite the driven hub and a second trolley extends from the second arm opposite the driven hub. An outer ring defines a guide rail slidably coupled with the first trolley and the second trolley.

Abstract: A countertop appliance comprises interchangeable containers including a first container and a second container each having a base. The first container includes a first magnet coupled to the base of the first container at a first distance and the second container includes a second magnet coupled to the base of the second container at a second distance. A housing includes a motor and an attachment portion. The interchangeable containers are selectively and operably coupled to the attachment portion of the housing. An analog magnetic sensor is disposed proximate the attachment portion of the housing. The analog magnetic sensor is configured to detect the first magnet at the first distance and the second magnet at the second distance. A controller communicatively coupled with the analog magnetic sensor is configured to identify one of the interchangeable containers based on the detected distance of one of the first magnet and the second magnet.

Abstract: A food processing appliance includes a base configured to selectively receive a plurality of vessel types. At least one of the plurality of vessel types includes a first magnetic key that includes at least one magnet disposed in a first arrangement of magnets along at least two axes. A magnetic compass assembly that is located on the base is configured to detect a reading that includes a presence and location of magnets on the at least two axes. The food processing appliance also includes a processor and a memory. The memory includes instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive the reading from the magnetic compass assembly and identify the at least one vessel type from the plurality of vessel types based on the first arrangement of the at least one magnet.

Abstract: A food processing appliance includes a base and a heating component operably connected to the base and configured to selectively receive a vessel and generate heat above a temperature threshold. At least one latch includes a locked position that secures the heating component to the vessel and an unlocked position that permits removal of the heating component from the vessel. A temperature dependent catch assembly is configured to retain the at least one latch in the locked position above the temperature threshold and release the at least one latch below the temperature threshold.

Abstract: An appliance for heating a food product includes a housing having an interior defining a heating cavity, a lid enclosing an upper opening of the heating cavity, a water supply including a portion directed through the lid for introducing water to the heating cavity, a heating element adjacent a lower portion of the heating cavity, and a steamer basket receivable within the heating cavity. The steamer basket defines a body with a perforated lower wall positionable above the lower portion of the heating cavity such that the food product is suspended above the lower portion of the heating cavity during heating of water therein and such that steam generated by heating water within the lower portion of the heating cavity permeates the food product for heating thereof.
