Multifunction programmable foodstuff preparation

A system for preparing food, the system comprising:

• a first programmable food preparing device comprising:
• a first container comprising a first cavity defining a first internal volume of the first container;
• a first plurality of plates bounding the first internal volume of the first container and comprising at least one hole configured to receive at least one food ingredient;
• a first plurality of thermoelectric devices coupled to the container and configured to exchange thermal energy with the container;
• a first plurality of thermal conduits coupled to a first side and a second side of each of the plurality of thermoelectric devices;
• and
• a second programmable food preparing device comprising:
• a second container including a second cavity defining a second internal volume of the second container;
• a second plurality of plates bounding the second internal volume of the second container and comprising at least one hole configured to receive at least one food ingredient;
• a second plurality of thermoelectric devices coupled to the container and configured to exchange thermal energy with the container;
• and
• a second plurality of thermal conduits coupled to a third and fourth side of each of the second plurality of thermoelectric devices.

A method for preparing food, the method comprising:

• receiving at least one food ingredient in a container comprising a cavity configured to store a plurality of food ingredients;
• thermally regulating the at least one food ingredient based on a plurality of food preparation operations identified based on a received recipe selection, the regulating using a plurality of thermoelectric devices coupled to the container;
• transferring a heated fluid along a first thermal pathway including a first thermal conduit coupled to a first side of each of the plurality of thermoelectric devices;
• and
• transferring a cooled fluid along a second thermal pathway including a second thermal conduit coupled to a second side of each of the plurality of thermoelectric devices.
