Self-stirring cooking device

A self-stirring cooking device for stirring the contents of a container having a rimmed opening, and a bottom inner surface, the device comprising:

• (a) a motor assembly;
• (b) connection mechanism for attaching the motor assembly to the container, the motor assembly extending from one side of the container over a portion of the opening of the container, the motor assembly capable of producing rotational motion;
• (c) a vertical shaft having an upper end, the vertical shaft having at least one blade attached axially therefrom for stirring the contents of the container, the upper end of the vertical shaft being in rotational communication with the motor assembly;
• and
• (d) a projection extending from the bottom inner surface of the container, one of the vertical shaft and the at least one blade being rotatably connected to the projection;
• wherein one of the vertical shaft and the at least one blade includes a tab having a hole therein, the tab being capable of being placed onto the projection.

A self-stirring cooking device for stirring the contents of a container having a rimmed opening and a handle, and a bottom inner surface, the device comprising:

• (a) a motor assembly;
• (b) connection mechanism for attaching the motor assembly to the container, the motor assembly extending from one side of the container over a portion of the opening of the container, the motor assembly capable of producing rotational motion;
• (c) a vertical shaft having an upper end, the vertical shaft having at least one blade attached axially therefrom for stirring the contents of the container, the upper end of the vertical shaft being in rotational communication with the motor assembly;
• and
• (d) a projection extending from the bottom inner surface of the container, one of the vertical shalt and the at least one blade being rotatably connected to the projection;
• wherein the connection mechanism includes a bracket being removably attached to the handle of the container.
