Patent number: 11864692Abstract: One example food preparation appliance includes a base having a motor and an adaptor, a weight sensor coupled to the adaptor, and a communication component. The adaptor is configured to support a food preparation accessory. The weight sensor is configured to detect a weight applied to the adaptor. The communication component is configured to transmit data associated with a weight detected by the weight sensor. An example remote communication device includes a display device, a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor. The remote communication device is configured to display a first instruction on the display device, the first instruction including a first target weight of a first substance; receive a measurement from a food preparation appliance indicative of a weight applied to an adaptor of the food preparation appliance; and display a second instruction when the weight is substantially equal to the first target weight.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2022Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Spectrum Brands, Inc.Inventors: Rolando Antonio Cavazos Jimenez, Joseph V. Krebs, James Stuart Saunders, Emily Van Haren

Patent number: 10492645Abstract: The invention described herein is directed to an inline spiral cutting food processor that includes a motor that rotates an upper positioned disc with a blade assembly by means of a belt or gear assembly or mechanism. The entrance and exit chute are fixed and positioned in-line with the axis of rotation of the blade supporting disc member. The entrance chute is positioned above the cutting disc, and the exit opening (or chute) is below. During operation a food item is pushed down the entrance chute as the blade rotates and cuts it. Cut food falls down through the opening or exit chute into a storage container or jar. The food cutting assembly is configured to generate spiral or helical food from vegetables.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2017Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: Spectrum Brands, Inc.Inventors: James Stuart Saunders, Joseph Valdon Krebs, Rolando Antonio Cavazos Jimenez

Patent number: 10413109Abstract: In a food preparation appliance and method for preparing food, an outer bowl has a bottom and a peripheral sidewall. An inner bowl is disposed at least in part within the outer bowl in spaced relationship therewith such that a gap is defined between the inner and outer bowls. The inner bowl has an interior space in which food is contained. A steam generator is in fluid communication with the gap between the inner bowl and the outer bowl, and is operable to deliver steam into the gap between the inner bowl and the outer bowl. The inner bowl and the outer bowl are configured relative to each other to define a tortuous flow path for steam to flow from the gap between the inner and outer bowls into the interior space of the inner bowl.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2014Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: Spectrum Brands, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Valdon Krebs, Rolando Antonio Cavazos, Anida C.
