A product preparation system and method for processing a container including a cup body and a cup closure assembly configured for removable operative engagement with the cup body, the cup closure assembly including a hinged spout cover and a user-removable multi-function restricting portion integrally formed as part of the cup closure assembly and detachable therefrom, the user-removable multi-function restricting portion being operative, when integrally attached to the cup closure assembly to prevent normal user opening of the hinged spout cover.

Single-use food preparation container assemblies, systems and methods

A single-use product preparation container assembly including a cup body and a cup closure assembly configured for removable operative engagement with the cup body, the cup closure assembly including a mechanically externally rotatably drivable rotary product engagement assembly for engaging an at least partially liquefiable product located within the cup body and a liquid retaining chamber configured to receive liquid leaked from the cup body via the mechanically externally rotatably drivable rotary product engagement assembly and including a vent allowing egress of air from the liquid retaining chamber.

A product preparation system and method wherein a single-use product container assembly, including a cup body and a cup closure, the cup closure including a rotatable blade, and a container processor including a container support and an electric motor including a drive shaft are employed to process contents of the container assembly.

A product preparation system and method wherein a single-use product container assembly and a multiple motion intelligent driving device are employed to process contents of the container assembly.

Single-use food preparation container assembly, system and method

There is disclosed a heater unit () for conductively heating a removable heat exchanger unit () via a heat transfer surface of the heat exchanger unit, the heater unit comprising: a body portion () for receiving the heat exchanger unit (); a flexible heating element () which, in use, makes thermal contact with the heat transfer surface of the heat exchanger unit; a compressible portion () disposed on the distal side of the flexible heating element () relative to the heat exchanger unit () when received; and a biasing arrangement () operable, in use, to distribute a transverse compression force across the arrangement formed from the compressible portion (), the heating element () and the heat exchanger unit (), whereby the compression force causes the heating element () to be urged towards the heat transfer surface of the heat exchanger unit () and the compressible portion, in conjunction with the compression force, causes the heating element () to conform more closely to the shape of the heat transfer surface.
