Abstract: A door synchronizing assembly is provided having two doors for closing an opening to an enclosure, such as an oven cavity. Each door has a hinged outer edge at which the corresponding door pivots relative to the housing of the enclosure and a fixation point. A central linkage is provided adjacent a surface of the housing of the enclosure. The central linkage translates substantially in a direction perpendicular to a plane of the opening of the enclosure. As such, the central linkage translates towards and away from the door opening. First and second rigid elongated elements are provided, each of which link the central linkage with the fixation point of a corresponding door of the two doors. Movement of one of the two doors causes a translation of the central linkage which in turn generates a corresponding movement of the second of the two doors.

Abstract: A brush is provided for cleaning a blade and mesh basket of a juicer. The brush may have a brush body having a horizontal base component and a first outer brushing surface angled relative to the horizontal base component. The horizontal base component extends laterally from the first outer brushing surface, and a groove is provided in an upper surface of the brush body, the groove arranged perpendicular to the horizontal base component. The groove is located at a transition between the horizontal base component and the first outer brushing surface. Bristles extend from the first outer brushing surface. Also provided is a juicer with a removable brush for use in a cleaning process and a method for cleaning a juicer using a removable brush.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for cold brewing beverages are provided. The apparatus comprises a container and at least one insert arranged in the container. The insert may either be a filter for holding brewing material or a receptacle for holding cooling material. A liquid like water filled in the container is pumped through a conduit into the insert and is then returned to the container, from where it may be pumped again to the insert. Thus a cycle for brewing and cooling a beverage is provided, depending on whether the insert is a filter for holding brewing material or a receptacle for holding cooling material, thereby considerably reducing the time required to produce a cold-brewed beverage.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present disclosure provides a beverage brewing system, including: a brewing chamber configured to hold a brewing fluid; a brew material filter within the brewing chamber; a vacuum source and a vent valve each coupled to the brewing chamber, the vacuum source and the vent valve being configured to be actuated consecutively; and a drain valve coupled to the brewing chamber.

Abstract: A cooker comprising: an enclosure; a grill plate configured to be situated in the enclosure when the cooker is in a grill configuration; the grill plate being provided with one or more openings; an air fry basket configured to be situated in the enclosure when the cooker is in an air fry configuration; and an air flow generator configured to generate an air flow within the enclosure.

Abstract: An air fryer comprises: an air fryer basket; and an air fryer basket accessory. The fryer basket accessory comprises: a first plate configured to be supported by the air fryer basket; and a second plate rotatably connected to the first plate, the second plate configured to be supported by the air fryer basket.

Abstract: A cooker including: an inner pot; a cooling system coupled to the inner pot for cooling the inner pot; a heating system coupled to the inner pot for heating the pot; and a processor configured to control the cooling system and the heating system according to a programmed sequence.
