The present application relates to a food processing apparatus and to a method of processing food using a food processing apparatus. Blenders and other food processors are typically used to chop, blend, mix, or pulverize food, crush ice, mix liquids, and blend liquid and solid food together using blades or other processing tools. Typically, the processing tools are rotated at various speeds within a container. A food processing apparatus in accordance with the current application includes a container including at least one rotatable, sharp blade, a drive unit having a drive coupler to rotate the at least one blade, and a controller to control the drive unit. The apparatus also includes at least one non-transitory memory storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by the controller, cause the controller, in response to a first user input, to sequentially: activate the drive unit for three seconds or less to rotate the drive coupler as a first pulse; pause the drive unit for at least one second; activate the drive unit for at least five seconds to rotate the drive coupler as a first blending segment; pause the drive unit for at least one second; and activate the drive unit for at least five seconds to rotate the drive coupler as a second blending segment. A total time period of all activations of the drive unit that are at least five seconds for blending segments is at least twenty seconds. The stored sequences address various challenging aspects of blending solid foods and/or ice. |
