A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11944108B2) discloses a kitchen appliance designed to facilitate efficient mixing and scraping of ingredients during cooking processes. The appliance includes a pot with a stirring unit and an insert pot that creates an interspace for a heat carrier substance. A scraper mounted in the insert pot allows for relative motion to scrape and mix contents effectively. The scraper divides the insert pot into two halves, with at least one flow-through opening for optimal blending. A cover is provided to prevent wobbling during operation, ensuring stability and consistent performance.

The method outlined in the patent involves using the kitchen appliance for preparing chocolate, where the scraper enhances the stirring of melted chocolate mass by dividing the insert pot into equally sized halves. The scraper's design, bisected by a central vertical axis, increases the effectiveness of mixing. The appliance's configuration allows for heating the scraper to ensure the contents in the insert pot are adequately heated during the cooking process. Coupling the insert pot and cover prevents instability, maintaining a steady environment for efficient mixing and scraping. Overall, the patent highlights a novel kitchen appliance that streamlines the cooking process by optimizing stirring and scraping functionalities for improved culinary outcomes.
