Abstract: A food-product handling device includes a sifter unit having a housing defining an open upper side, a mount extending outwardly from the first housing along a first axis, and a lower side opposite the upper side. The sifter unit further has a sifter basket having an interior aligned with and inset within the open upper side. The device further includes a scale assembly having a body defining an upper opening and an opposite lower opening and having an annular weight-sensing unit surrounding the upper opening. The body is positionable on the housing of the sifter unit with the opening in communication with the open upper side of the housing. A hopper is positionable on the weight-sensing unit and defines a lower open end at least partially received within the body when the hopper is positioned on the weight-sensing unit.

Abstract: A food processing container includes a food processing chamber and a cover assembly with a latch mechanism operable between latched and unlatched positions. The latch mechanism includes a first magnetic member disposed therein. An interlock assembly is disposed outside of and adjacent to the food processing chamber and includes a sealed cavity with a plunger member moveable disposed within the sealed cavity. The plunger is operable between at-rest and actuated positions within the sealed cavity and includes upper and lower magnetic members disposed at opposite ends of the plunger member. The plunger member moves to the actuated position as the latch mechanism moves to the latched position due to a repulsion force between the first magnetic member and the upper magnetic member, and further wherein the lower magnetic member moves into the lower portion of the sealed cavity as the latch mechanism moves to the latched position.

Abstract: A sous vide cooking device includes an induction hob having a housing with a cooking surface. One or more heating elements are disposed within the housing adjacent the cooking surface. A motor is disposed in the housing. A cooking vessel assembly with inner and outer vessels is removably supported on the cooking surface. A stirring plate is rotatably received within the inner vessel. A magnetic coupling system includes an upper magnetic coupler disposed on the stirring plate, and a lower magnetic coupler disposed in the housing and operably coupled to the motor. The lower magnetic coupler is configured to rotate the upper magnetic coupler and the stirring plate within the cooking vessel as powered by the motor. A wireless temperature measuring device is coupled to the outer vessel for measuring a water temperature within the cooking vessel assembly.

Abstract: A flow restrictor assembly for a beverage kettle having a valve member that moves with respect to an opening in the interior of the beverage kettle to restrict the flow of liquid from the opening in the beverage kettle. The valve member may be coupled to a handle that enables movement of the valve member into varying positions with respect to the opening to control the flow rate.
