Abstract: A method of varying speed and direction of motor operating intervals in a food processing device to achieve real time load adaptation comprising a motor (512), control circuit (501), motor drive circuit (511), and voltage and current sense circuits (510) to control said motor based on ingredient and desired function input from a user input device (509) and known motor and ingredient load profile data stored in non-volatile memory (504). An analog to digital converter (502) is used to read motor load data using voltage and current sense circuits (510) to index said motor and ingredient load profile data enabling said control circuit (501) to alter speed and direction of motor (512) operation to provide consistency in results of final mixture irregardless of variations of initial ingredient quantity and viscosity.
