The lower grill unit includes a lower grill plate having a plate body and a flow-diverging stage. The plate body has a central portion that is adapted to be positioned under and aligned with the feed opening, and a surrounding portion that surrounds the central portion. The flow-diverging stage protrudes upwardly from the central portion of the plate body, and has a flow-diverging convex surface that faces the feed opening and that is for diverging flow of a fluid material which flows from the feed opening onto the plate body. The flow-diverging convex surface has a top end positioned higher than the plate body.

Abstract: A cooking device includes a heating unit and an oil discharge roast pan mounted to the heating unit. The oil discharge roast pan includes a pan body, a plurality of oil discharge holes extending through top and bottom surfaces of the pan body, and a plurality of protrusions protruding downwardly from the bottom surface.

Abstract: A cooking device includes a lower heating plate unit, an upper housing member, and at least one positioning mechanism that includes a lower coupling unit fixed to the lower heating plate unit, an upper coupling member fixed to the upper housing member, an actuating member disposed on the upper coupling member, and a pin connected to the upper coupling member. The cooking device further includes an upper heating plate coupled to the upper housing member. Removal of the upper heating plate results in the actuating member being pushed resiliently to have a positioning portion thereof engaging a guiding hole of the lower coupling unit, so that the upper housing member is limited to move to be parallel to and spaced apart from the lower heating plate unit.

Abstract: A coffee brewer for a coffee capsule includes a frame body, a holding mechanism and two reloading mechanisms. The holding mechanism includes a holding seat for holding the coffee capsule. Each of the reloading mechanisms includes a rack member having a wing portion and rotatable between a loading position and an unloading position, a pin member movable by the holding seat to rotate the rack member to the loading position, and a restoring spring resiliently biasing the rack member to rotate toward the unloading position.

Abstract: A bread making method includes providing an automatic bread maker; providing a bread ingredient box and putting bread ingredients into a first accommodating room and packaging; placing an outer wall of the bread ingredient box face down on a hanging rack provided with a sawtooth blade above a baking pan inside the automatic break maker, causing the sawtooth blade to pierce the outer wall of the bread ingredient box and allowing the bread ingredients to drop into a stock bin for temporary storage, controlling covers of the stock bin to open as required, causing at least some of the bread ingredients to drop into the baking pan and adding water; processing the bread ingredients and the water into a working dough by mixing, stirring and kneading, to provide a first dough; resting, fermenting and degassing the first dough; heating and baking the first dough in the baking pan.

Abstract: An automatic bread maker includes a housing; a baking pan disposed inside the housing to mix or heat bread ingredients and disposed with an upwardly facing entrance; and a hanging rack disposed inside the housing that accommodates a bread ingredient box and a stock bin disposed below the hanging rack and above the upwardly facing entrance. The hanging rack is disposed with a sawtooth blade that faces upwardly to pierce the bread ingredient box and the stock bin is disposed with a drop opening that faces the upwardly facing entrance and that has a size that is smaller than that of the entrance so that, when the bread ingredient box is pierced, the bread ingredients drop down into the stock bin, and wherein a driver is further disposed to control opening and closing of a cover of the stock bin to discharge at least a portion of the bread ingredients.

Abstract: A grill device is for cooking a fluidic food material, and includes an upper grill unit and a lower grill unit. The lower grill unit includes a lower grill plate. The upper grill unit removably covers and is operable to uncover the lower grill unit, and includes an upper grill plate that cooperates with the lower grill plate to define a cooking space therebetween, which is adapted to accommodate the fluidic food material when cooking, and that defines an opening, which is in spatial communication with the cooking space and which is adapted to permit the fluidic food material to flow into the cooking space therethrough.

Abstract: A shutoff device includes a guiding unit, a bread carriage connected movably to the guiding unit, a lever unit, and a switch. The bread carriage includes a first carriage body. The lever unit has a contact segment that has a lower portion disposed between first and second portions of the first carriage body, and an upper portion disposed above the lower portion and the first portion of the first carriage body. The lever unit is upwardly movable relative to the bread carriage, with the lower portion being moved toward the first portion of the first carriage body and the upper portion being moved away from the first portion of the first carriage body, thereby converting a contact portion of the switch from a contact position to a shutoff position.

Abstract: A grill device includes a first grill seat and a second grill seat movably connected to the first grill seat such that the second grill seat is movable between a closed position, where the second grill seat overlaps with the first grill seat in an up-and-down direction to define a grill space therebetween for accommodating a food to be grilled, and an opened position. The second grill seat has a fume collecting chamber which is disposed opposite to and in spatial communication with the grill space in the up-and-down direction when the second grill seat is in the closed position so that fumes generated during grilling are dissipated successfully and are spontaneously ventilated and exhausted without the need to provide a power activated impeller, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost and saving energy.

The limiting member is movable relative to the first body between first and second limiting states, where the limiting member is rotatable along with the second body in a circumferential direction of the pivoting axis and is respectively limited by the first and second radial stop surfaces.

Abstract: A grill machine includes a grill mechanism, a temperature control device and a mode switching device. The grill mechanism includes a lower grill unit, and an upper grill unit that is pivotally connected to the lower grill unit and that is pivotable between an open position and a closed position. The temperature control device is switchable between a first heating mode and a second heating mode. The mode switching device includes an actuating unit that is mounted to the lower grill unit . When the upper grill unit is pivoted to the open position, the upper grill unit downwardly presses the actuating unit to switch the temperature control device from the first heating mode to the second heating mode.
