Abstract: Disclosed is a kitchen machine that can be operated with a plurality of different food-processing modules. The kitchen machine is configured to identify each of the plurality of food-processing modules. The kitchen machine may comprise a first connector configured to be electrically connected to a second connector of a food-processing module, a processor electrically connected to the first connector and configured, when the first connector is electrically connected to the second connector, to initiate, during a first time interval, a sending of a plurality of first output signals via the first connector to the second connector, initiate, during a second time interval after the first time interval, a receiving of a plurality of first input signals from the second connector via the first connector, and identify the food-processing module based on the plurality of first input signals.

Abstract: A candle conversion device is provided that can allow for complete melting and conversion of candle wax to produce a new wax object or candle. The device can include a thermal sleeve couplable with a candle support having a candle engagement member and a drainage passage, which can direct melted wax toward a wax mold having an inner wax cavity with a shape profile to which the melted wax conforms, the thermal sleeve and the candle support configured to conduct and/or radiate thermal energy received from the candle flame between portions of the device and candle.
