Abstract: A lid for a bowl of a food processor for processing a relatively large size or large volume of foodstuff including a top lid wall and a feed tube extending from the top lid wall along a feed axis. The feed tube including an inner feed surface defining a feed cavity and a mouth for accessing the feed cavity. A feed tube lid is movably secured to the mouth of the feed tube. A food pusher is movably mounted to the feed tube lid. The food pusher and feed tube lid cover the mouth of the feed tube when the feed tube lid and food pusher are in a working position. The food pusher is movable relative to the feed tube in first and second directions in the working position. The first direction is generally parallel to the feed axis and the second direction is generally perpendicular to the feed axis.

Abstract: A toaster for heating foodstuffs includes a chassis having a cavity therein and having at least one chassis opening for accessing the cavity. A door is movable with respect to the chassis between a closed position in which the door substantially covers the chassis opening, and an open position in which the cavity is accessible through the chassis opening. A carriage with at least one slot movable between a first position disposed completely within the cavity and a second position extending at least partially from the cavity through the chassis opening. The toaster has a heating configuration in which the carriage is in the first position and the door is in the closed position to confine the foodstuff being heated and create a generally enclosed chamber within the cavity in which heat and moisture loss is controlled.

Abstract: A brew basket for a hot beverage maker has a funnel-shape with a relatively wide top end and relatively narrow bottom end. A stepped support ring is integral in and defines a ledge around a circumference of the brew basket. A filter pod is supported on its periphery by the support ring during brewing. An adaptor can be integrally attached to the brew basket to give a user an option to place a second filter pod in the brew basket to yield more or stronger brewed beverage.

Abstract: A combination bowl and internal rotatable tray is for a food processor having a base housing. The bowl, having an inner surface area, is removably secured to the base housing. A lid, having an inner surface area, is removably securable to the bowl to create a processing chamber between the inner surface areas of the bowl and lid in an assembled position. The tray, disposed within the processing chamber, is rotatable with respect to at least one of the lid and the bowl. The tray has a peripheral wall, a base wall, and a plurality of interior walls. The interior walls extend from the peripheral wall to create a plurality of cavities. At least a portion of the tray is accessible by a user through at least one of the lid and the bowl in order to manually rotate the tray with respect to the bowl and the lid.

Abstract: A food processor for processing foodstuffs comprises a base housing, a motor, a drive shaft, a tool, a bowl, a lid and a tray. The tool is rotatably securable to the drive shaft and rotatable by the motor. The bowl is removably securable to the base housing and includes an inner surface area. The lid has an inner surface area. The lid is removably securable to the bowl to create a processing chamber between the inner surface areas of the bowl and lid in an assembled position. The tray is removably securable within the processing chamber and is manually rotatable relative to the bowl and lid, independently of the drive shaft and tool, in the assembled position.
