  • Publication number: 20190298105
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention discloses an air-frying cooker (100), comprising: a vessel (101); a heating means located above the vessel (101); a food support (102) located in the vessel (101) and having an air-permeable bottom (1021), the partition (104) dividing a space in the vessel into a first chamber (1011) accommodating the food support (102) and a second chamber (1012) located below the first chamber (1011); and a guide member (105) located on a bottom wall (1013) of the vessel (101). The partition (104) at least partially blocks heat transfer from the first chamber (1011) to the second chamber (1012), and guides materials falling from the air-permeable bottom (1021) of the food support (102) into the first chamber (1011) to the second chamber (1012). The air-frying cooker (100) reduces generation of fume during cooking.

  • Publication number: 20170164776
    Abstract: A centrifugal juicer (100) is disclosed that can be configured to control the pulp content in the juice produced by the juicer. To this end, the centrifugal juicer comprises a pulp content selection function that controls the rotation speed of the motor driving the sieve (132) of the centrifugal juicer. The openings (133) in the sieve are dimensioned such that pulp is forced through the openings at certain rotation speeds of the motor.
