Abstract: A device for making popcorn. A heating element and a fan are contained within a base housing. The base housing includes an agitator and convection unit unit having a bottom and a side portion located above the heating element and fan. The side portion includes louvers configured to allow heated air provided by operation of the heating element and fan to circulate around the agitator and convection unit and cause corn kernels added to the agitator and convection unit to be heated so as to form popcorn. A bowl surrounds the base housing such that the base housing, agitator and convection unit and bowl have a common axis. A canopy is removably mated to the base housing and is configured so that when popcorn is expelled from the agitator and convection unit, it strikes a bottom surface of the canopy and is guided into the bowl.

Abstract: A single or multi-level stirrer and dispenser having a base with a motor and preferably at least two beverage infusers, a first one placed on top of the base and the second placed on top of the first infuser, with any subsequent infusers stacked top of a lower infuser. Each infuser includes a receiving spindle affixed to its bottom. A stirrer with an axle and at least one blade extending from the axle is insertable into the receiving spindle so that the axle rotates within the receiving spindle. Each infuser includes a cover and a discharge valve for dispensing a beverage within the infuser. A lid is removably attached to top of the last infuser. The motor includes a rotor which is removably coupled to the axle in the first infuser, and each axle in each of the infusers is removably coupled to the axle in an adjacent infuser.

Abstract: A waterfall apparatus for viscous food products including a collection bowl. An auger tube extends perpendicular to the bottom surface of the collection bowl. Inside the auger tube is an auger having a spiral flight protruding along the length of the auger. The auger is coupled to a motor which operates to rotate the auger. The spiral flight supports a viscous food product such as melted chocolate received from the collection bowl as the auger rotates, moving the melted chocolate upwardly from the collection bowl to the top end of the auger tube onto a spillway at the top of the waterfall apparatus. The melted chocolate flows from the top end of the auger tube onto the spillway and flows downwardly to the collection bowl, coating one side of one or more removable decorative pattern plate. The spillway is configured to ensure an even flow of chocolate over the entire width of the removable decorative pattern plate.

Abstract: A grilling apparatus for bacon or other thinly sliced meat. The apparatus includes a base with sidewalls extending from opposite ends of the base. A pair of doors are coupled to opposite sides of the base and movable from an open position to a closed position. A pair of grill plates are removably connected to a corresponding one of the doors. A heating element extends from the base between the side walls. A removable grill is placed over the heating element between the said side walls. When the doors are in the closed position, the grill and the grill plates form an enclosed space, so that when power is supplied to the heating element, heat generated by the heating element is provided by convection to the grill and the grill plates.
