Abstract: An apparatus for use with an induction heating element is disclosed. The apparatus includes a ferromagnetic base to convert magnetic energy from the induction heating element into thermal energy, an induction coil to convert magnetic energy from said induction heating element into electrical energy, a waterproof housing containing an electronic circuit conductively coupled to the induction coil; and a motor controlled by said electronic circuit using the electrical energy; and an agitator driven by the motor. Also disclosed is a system that includes the induction heating element, an apparatus, and a method of heating and stirring a food product in a diamagnetic container using the apparatus on the induction heating element.

Abstract: Food support for use in an air-based flyer, comprising an air-permeable bottom for supporting food to be prepared and a mounting structure for detachably mounting the food support in a food preparation chamber of the air-based flyer, such that hot air that in use is circulated in the food preparation chamber can flow through the air-permeable bottom. The air-permeable bottom comprises a peripheral zone having an average air-permeability that is lower than the average air-permeability of the remainder of the bottom. The invention further relates to an air-based flyer equipped with such a food support.
