An apparatus and method of cleaning a food processor including providing a food processor base that includes a rotary power driver having a rotatable shaft. A bowl is mounted on the base. A food processing blade attached to the shaft within the bowl. A cleaning accessory is placed in the bowl above the food processing blade. A cleaning fluid is introduced into the bowl, and the food processing blade with the rotatable shaft agitate the cleaning fluid in conjunction with the cleaning accessory.

Beverage maker

A method of cleaning a food processor includes:

A beverage-making machine includes: a housing; a fluid reservoir mounted to the housing; a first pump fluidly connected with the water reservoir; a heating unit comprising a conduit having an upper end and a lower end, the lower end of the conduit fluidly connected with the first pump, the conduit configured and arranged to rise monotonically from lower end to upper end; and a brew station having a brew basket with an inlet fluidly connected with the upper end of the conduit and an outlet, and further having a receptacle platform positioned to receive fluid from the outlet.

A stand mixer includes: a lower assembly comprising a base and a lower support arm extending upwardly from the base; an upper assembly comprising a generally horizontal head positioned above the base and an upper support arm extending downwardly from the head, the lower and upper support arm assemblies forming a generally vertical support arm, the head configured to provide a mounting location for a beater; and a head-raising mechanism that moves the head relative to the base between raised and lowered positions, the head remaining generally horizontal in the raised position.

Stand mixer with mechanism to lift head

A stand mixer includes: a base, the base including a bowl lift framework having first lift features; a support arm attached to the base and extending upwardly therefrom; a head attached to an upper end of the support arm and extending generally horizontally therefrom above the base; and a bowl assembly comprising a bowl and a skirt mounted to the bowl, the skirt including second lift features. The first lift features interact with the second lift features such that, when the bowl assembly is rotated relative to the bowl lift framework, the bowl assembly changes elevation relative to the base between raised and lowered positions.

A blender includes: a base unit, the base unit including a vent in fluid communication with external air; a motor mounted within the base unit and configured to drive blender blades; a cooling fan mounted in the base unit to draw air though the vent and past the motor into a reservoir; and a conduit formed within the base unit that provides an exit path for air drawn past an exit port at the rear of the base unit. A central baffle is located within the reservoir that divides the exit path into two lateral substreams that flow past opposite side edges of the central baffle, and two lateral baffles are located within the reservoir downstream of the central baffle. Each lateral baffle directs a respective substream inwardly such that the sub streams combine into a single stream that exits the exit port.
