Abstract: An appliance includes a base unit having a sidewall surrounding an interior cavity. A shaft assembly includes a first portion extending outwardly from the sidewall of the base unit. The shaft assembly further includes a second portion positioned within the interior cavity. A weighted member is operably coupled to the second portion of the shaft assembly for rotation therewith. The weighted member outwardly extends from the shaft assembly. A knob is positioned on the first portion of the shaft assembly for rotation therewith. The weighted member increases the rotational inertia of the knob assembly as operably coupled thereto through the shaft assembly.

Abstract: A mixing bowl assembly includes a bowl. A lid is removably coupled to the bowl and includes an outer circumferential frame and an inner circumferential lip. The lid defines a depressed support surface. A planar wooden trivet has a perimeter rim configured to engage the depressed support surface of the lid. A dome is removably coupled to the perimeter rim of the planar wooden trivet proximate the outer circumferential frame of the lid.

Abstract: An ice cream making assembly includes a mixing bowl having an outer housing and an inner liner defining a wall cavity therebetween. The mixing bowl further includes a radiator fin unit received within a portion of the wall cavity and a phase-change medium filling a further portion of the wall cavity surrounding at least a portion of the radiator fin unit. The radiator fin unit defines an outer chamfer extending generally along an outer cross-sectional profile of the wall cavity and a tapered inner profile extending along inner cross-sectional profile of the wall cavity and in at least partial contact with the inner liner. The assembly further includes a dasher including first and second mixing arms extending outwardly from an anchor end of the axle and upwardly and outwardly to generally follow an angled inner profile of the food-product receiving cavity defined by the liner.

Abstract: A mixing bowl for a stand mixer includes a body defining an interior and an exterior. The body has first and second mounting flanges extending outwardly from opposite sides of the exterior and defining respective cavities open at least on bottom sides of the mounting flanges. The mixing bowl further includes first and second inserts fixedly received in the respective cavities of the first and second mounting flanges. The inserts define respective pin holes for receiving mounting pins of a bowl-lift mechanism of the stand mixer, the first and second pin holes being located relative to each other at a first tolerance and relative to the respective first and second flanges at a second tolerance lower than the first tolerance.
