Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for mixing food are disclosed. In an embodiment, a mixing device includes a housing including a cavity configured to hold an item and at least one cord attached to the housing. The at least one cord is configured to cause the housing to rotate when the at least one cord is pulled in a direction away from the housing. In another embodiment, a method of mixing includes placing an item inside of a housing, rotating the housing in a first direction to create tension, and releasing the tension so that the housing rotates in a second direction and mixes the item.
Claims13
A mixing device, comprising:
- a housing, wherein the housing is comprised of two housing halves wherein each housing half possesses a rigid exterior and an elastomer lined interior and when each housing half is securely attached to each other provides a cavity having the profile of an egg and wherein the elastomer lined interior of each housing half has at least one elastomer projection for cushioning and supporting an egg in the cavity;
- and at least one cord attached to the housing, wherein the at least one cord is configured to cause the housing to rotate when the at least one cord is pulled in a direction away from the housing.
A mixing device, comprising:
- a first side including a first outer shell and a first cord attached to the first outer shell;
- a second side including a second outer shell and a second cord attached to the second outer shell;
- and an attachment mechanism for attaching the first outer shell to the second outer shell, wherein the first outer shell and the second outer shell are configured to rotate when the first cord and the second cord are pulled in opposite directions away from the first outer shell and the second outer shell, wherein the first outer shell and second outer shell become securely attached to each other and thereby provide a cavity having the profile of an egg and possess at least one elastomer projection for cushioning and supporting an egg in the cavity.
