    Abstract: An ice processing device and ice processing apparatus are provided. The ice processing device includes a housing and an auger. The housing includes an inlet opening configured to receive ice into an ice processing chamber. The housing includes a first inner wall and a second inner wall, in which the first inner wall forms a raised surface and the second inner wall forms a smooth surface. The housing includes an outlet opening positioned proximate to the second inner wall. The outlet opening is configured to egress ice from the ice processing chamber. The auger includes an auger wall. The auger is positioned within the housing to form the ice processing chamber between the housing and the auger wall. The auger is configured to direct ice to the first inner wall and the second inner wall at the housing. A plurality of members extends from the housing toward the auger wall.

    Abstract: A cooking appliance, as provided herein, may include a cabinet, an induction heating coil, an electric heat-radiation element, and a vertical lift or secondary heating element. The cabinet may define a cooking chamber. The induction heating coil may be mounted within the cabinet below the cooking chamber to direct a magnetic field thereto. The electric heat-radiation element may be mounted within the cabinet above the induction heating coil. The vertical lift may support the electric heat-radiation element within the cooking chamber to adjust a vertical height of the electric heat-radiation element relative to the induction heating coil. The secondary electric heating element may be mounted within the cabinet below the cooking chamber and horizontally spaced apart from the induction heating coil to receive a steam pot.

    Abstract: A system for controlling the operation of an induction cooker includes a controller of the induction cooker and a personal electronic device. The controller may be communicatively coupled to a weight sensor of the induction cooker, and the controller may be configured to determine a weight of a food item within a cookware item that is positioned on the induction cooker. The personal electronic device may be in communication with the controller such that the personal electronic device may receive data indicating the determined weight of the food item. The system and related method for controlling the operation of the induction cooker includes determining, by the controller, the weight of the food item. The system and related method further include automatically adjusting the operation of the induction cooker based, at least in part, on the determined weight of the food item.
