Abstract: Mix-in tools for use with processed food include two wing members defining a helical profile coupled to a central shaft attached to a handle. Inserting the wing members into the processed food and rotating the handle creates a central cavity in the processed for gently mixing in ingredients before additional processing. The wing members also include spatula-like, flat edged sides for cleaning out the processed food from a vessel.

Abstract: A micro puree machine including a drive motor coupled to a drive shaft via at least one gear. The drive motor is arranged to rotate a drive shaft and blade assembly. A position motor is operable to change a position of the drive shaft via rotation of the position. A user interface is arranged to: i) receive a user input to select a first routine associated with processing a first food type, and ii) display a status of the processing of the first food type while the first routine is running. A controller is arranged to: i) receive the user input selecting the first routine and retrieve the configuration data associated with the first routine, ii) control operations of the drive motor based on the configuration data associated with the first routine, and iii) control operations of the position motor based on the configuration data associated with the first routine.
