That is, after all the seasoning materials are added, the food materials are stirred to the target crushed state to obtain the finished meat paste. That is, in the process of preparing the food material into the finished meat paste, the seasoning material may be divided into a plurality of portions to be added to the semi-finished meat paste a plurality of times.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the seasoning materials may be added in two times, the first seasoning material (salt, starch, baking soda, ice cubes, etc.) for flavoring or for improving the quality of meat paste is added for the first time, and the food material and the first seasoning material are stirred and mixed, the second seasoning material (shallot, ginger, garlic, pepper, etc.) for adapting to the taste of an individual is added for the second time, and the food material and the second seasoning material are stirred and mixed, and finally the food material is stirred to a target crushed state to obtain the finished meat paste.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the seasoning material can be added all at once, and the food material and the seasoning material are stirred and mixed, and finally the food material is stirred to the target crushed state, so as to obtain the finished meat paste.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned "target mashing state" refers to a final state required when the food material is made into the finished meat paste, the target mashing state may be automatically generated according to a default setting of the system, and the target mashing state may also be personalized generation based on a preset by the user, wherein the generation logic of the target mashing state may be: the execution subject of the above-described determination of the target mashing state may be the user himself or herself, or may be a controller, which is determined based on information such as the type of food material and the specific use of the meat paste.

For the steps 300 to 500 of this embodiment, the following steps are taken as an example to illustrate that the meat paste prepared according to the present invention is used for preparing meat balls: the meat tissue can be crushed in the stirring process of stirring the food material to the first crushed state for the first time, so that proteins such as myosin in the muscle tissue can be fully dissolved out; in the stirring process after the seasoning materials are added, the muscle tissues can be further destroyed through strong mechanical force, so that the protein is changed into sol, finally meat glue paste which is not easy to stick to hands is formed, the seasoning materials and food materials can be fully mixed, for example, the starch, the baking soda and the like can improve the quality of the meat paste, and the scallion, the ginger, the garlic and the like can improve the flavor of the meat paste, so that the flavor and the quality of the meat paste are improved. In conclusion, the meat balls prepared based on the finished meat paste have high elasticity, compact gaps and good taste.

Or controlling a stirring part of the food stirrer to stir the food material to the first stirring state discontinuously for a second set time length according to a second set rotating speed, wherein the second set time length is the sum of the accumulated time lengths of the stirring actions of the stirring part.

Because of the instability and inaccuracy of the food material state, the state of the food material is directly detected, and therefore fine control often cannot be achieved, in this embodiment, the food material can be ensured to be in the first stirring state after being stirred for the first time by controlling the operation rotating speed (for example, the first set rotating speed or the second set rotating speed) and the operation duration (for example, the first set duration or the second set duration) of the stirring component, and in this embodiment, the control over the food material state is converted into the control over the stirring component which can be processed in a quantized manner, so that the quantized control operation is achieved, and the accurate control over the food material state is further achieved.

The intermittent stirring refers to stopping for a period of time after stirring for a period of time, then stirring again for a period of time, and then stopping for a period of time again, and repeating the steps until the sum of the accumulated time lengths of the stirring actions of the stirring parts reaches a second set time length.

It can be understood that in the present embodiment, the controller controls the stirring component to stir in the following two ways: firstly, the stirring part is controlled to continuously stir, so that the processing time of the whole step 100 can be shortened, and the overall efficiency of the control method is improved; secondly, control stirring part and stir intermittently, like this, although prolonged the processing duration of step 100, nevertheless, can avoid eating the material and constantly rising because of single stirring time overlength and temperature to reduce the reproduction of eating the material internal microorganisms, be favorable to the meat ball texture process of later stage more, on the other hand can avoid food mixer to influence its life because of single stirring time overlength, thereby prolonged food mixer's life, reduced the risk that food mixer broke down.

In one embodiment of the present invention, in the step of controlling the stirring part of the food mixer to intermittently stir at the second set rotation speed for the second set period of time: the interval time between every two adjacent stirring actions is not more than 2min, and the accumulated sum of all the interval time is not more than 5min.

Through a plurality of experimental researches, the inventor finds that when the interval duration between the stirring actions meets the requirements of the embodiment, the hardness, elasticity and taste of the meatballs made from the finished meat paste are better.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, before the step of controlling the food mixer to mix the food material to the first crushed state, the method further comprises:

acquiring basic information and a first crushing state of food materials;

and determining a first set rotating speed and a first set time length or determining a second set rotating speed and a second set time length based on the food basic information and the first mincing state.

Therefore, the required operation speed and the operation duration of the stirring component can be determined through the specific food material basic information and the information of the first stirring state, so that the pertinence and individuation control can be realized according to different food material types, and the accurate control of the food material state is further realized.

The food material basic information refers to information such as composition, type and current state of food materials, and the food material basic information can reflect detailed information of food materials, so that the controller can accurately acquire the operation rotating speed and the operation duration required by the stirring component based on the food material basic information. The mode of acquiring the basic information of the food material by the controller may be that the basic information of the food material is automatically input by a user so that the controller acquires the basic information of the food material, or that the basic information of the food material is acquired by the food material information detecting device and transmitted to the controller. The present invention is not particularly limited herein.

The first stirring state refers to an intermediate state before the food is processed into the target stirring state, and the manner of obtaining the first stirring state is described in detail above and will not be described herein again.

It can be understood that, in this embodiment, when the specific type, the composition and the current state of the food material are different, and the first stirring state that the food material needs to reach is different, the stirring duration and the stirring rotation speed that the food material needs to reach the first stirring state are different, therefore, the stirring duration and the stirring rotation speed are obtained on the basis of the food material basic information and the first stirring state in this embodiment, so that the food material can reach the first stirring state more accurately, and personalized differences are made for different food materials, and the pertinence and the personalization are stronger.

For example, if the controller acquires that the food material includes beef and that the first minced state is a minced meat state, the controller may determine the first set rotation speed and the first set time period (or the second set rotation speed and the second set time period) of the stirring member based on the above information.

In one embodiment of the invention, the first set rotating speed is V1, the first set time length is T1, wherein V1 is more than or equal to 1000r/min and less than or equal to 6000r/min, and T1 is more than 0 and less than or equal to 1min; or the second set rotating speed is V2, the second set time is T2, wherein V2 is more than or equal to 1000r/min and less than or equal to 6000r/min, and T2 is more than 0 and less than or equal to 1min.

The above data are summarized based on the results of a plurality of experimental studies by the inventor, when the stirring speed and the stirring time period of the stirring part are controlled within the above data range, the obtained meat paste has better quality and mouthfeel, and the meat balls prepared by using the meat paste have better hardness, elasticity and mouthfeel.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the step of controlling the food mixer to continue mixing until the food material reaches the target crushing state comprises:

controlling a stirring part of the food stirrer to continuously stir at a third set rotating speed for a third set time period so as to stir the food materials to a target crushing state;

or controlling a stirring component of the food stirrer to intermittently stir for a fourth set time period according to a fourth set rotating speed so as to stir the food material to the target stirring state, wherein the fourth set time period is the sum of the accumulated time periods of the stirring actions of the stirring component.

Because of the instability and inaccuracy of the food material state, the state of the food material is directly detected, and therefore fine control often cannot be achieved, in this embodiment, by controlling the operation rotation speed (for example, the third set rotation speed or the third set rotation speed) and the operation duration (for example, the fourth set duration or the fourth set duration) of the stirring component, it can be ensured that the food material is finally changed into the target stirring state after being stirred, in this embodiment, the control over the food material state is converted into the control over the stirring component which can be processed in a quantized manner, so that the quantized control operation is achieved, and further, the accurate control over the food material state is achieved.

The above-mentioned "intermittently stirring" means that the stirring is stopped for a certain period of time after the stirring is continued for a certain period of time, then the stirring is continued for a certain period of time again, and then the stirring is stopped for a certain period of time again, and the above-mentioned operation is repeated until the sum of the cumulative lengths of time of the stirring actions of the stirring members reaches the fourth set length of time.

It can be understood that in the present embodiment, the controller controls the stirring component to stir in the following two ways: firstly, the stirring component is controlled to continuously stir, so that the processing time of the whole step 300 can be reduced, and the overall efficiency of the control method is improved; and secondly, the stirring part is controlled to stir discontinuously, so that although the processing time of the step 300 is prolonged, on one hand, protein denaturation caused by the temperature rise of the meat paste can be avoided, the capability of the meat paste for binding water is prevented from being weakened, the gel elasticity of the meat paste is ensured, and finally the elasticity of the meat balls is ensured, and on the other hand, the service life of the food stirrer is prevented from being influenced by overlong single stirring time, so that the service life of the food stirrer is prolonged, and the risk of the food stirrer breaking down is reduced.

In one embodiment of the present invention, in the step of controlling the stirring part of the food mixer to intermittently stir at the fourth set rotation speed for a fourth set period of time: the interval time between every two adjacent stirring actions is not more than 2min, and the accumulated sum of all the interval time is not more than 5min.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, before the step of controlling the food mixer to continue mixing until the food material reaches the target crushing state, the method further comprises:

acquiring basic information and a target crushing state of food materials;

and determining a third set rotating speed and a third set time length or determining a fourth set rotating speed and a fourth set time length based on the food basic information, the first stirring state and the target stirring state.

Therefore, the required operation speed and the operation time of the stirring component can be determined through the specific basic information of the food materials and the information of the target crushing state, so that the targeted and personalized control can be realized according to different food material types, and the accurate control of the food material state is further realized.

The above-mentioned basic information and target information of the food material are described in detail above, and are not described herein again.

It can be understood that, in this embodiment, when the specific type and the composition of the food material are different, and the current first crushing state of the food material is different and the target crushing state that the food material needs to reach is different, the stirring duration and the stirring rotation speed that the food material needs to reach the target crushing state from the first crushing state are different, therefore, the stirring duration and the stirring rotation speed are obtained on the basis of the basic information of the food material, the first crushing state and the target crushing state in this embodiment, so that the food material can more accurately reach the target crushing state, and personalized differences are made for different food materials, and the pertinence and the personalization are stronger.

For example, if the controller acquires that the food material includes beef, and that the first mincing state is meat emulsion, and the target mincing state is meat colloid, the controller may determine the third set rotation speed and the third set time period (or the fourth set rotation speed and the fourth set time period) of the stirring member based on the above information.

According to one embodiment of the invention, the third set rotational speed is V3 and the third set time period is T3, wherein V3 is more than or equal to 1000r/min and less than or equal to 6000r/min, and T3 is more than 0 and less than or equal to 2min; or the fourth set rotating speed is V4, the fourth set time is T4, wherein V4 is more than or equal to 1000r/min and less than or equal to 6000r/min, and T4 is more than 0 and less than or equal to 2min.

The above data are summarized based on the results of a plurality of experimental studies by the inventor, and when the stirring speed and the stirring time of the stirring part are controlled within the above data range, the obtained meat paste has better quality and mouthfeel, and the meat balls prepared by using the meat paste have better hardness, elasticity and mouthfeel.

One embodiment of a control method of a food blender according to the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

A user preliminarily cuts 300g of fresh beef shank or fillet into pieces, cleans the fresh beef shank or fillet, puts the fresh beef shank or fillet into a food mixer, closes a cover body, starts the food mixer and carries out first mixing, and the main purpose of the first mixing is to crush the meat pieces or side dish into a minced meat state, wherein the rotating speed of a mixing knife of the food mixer is 3000r/min, the food mixer can continuously mix or discontinuously mix, and when the food mixer continuously mixes, the total continuous mixing time is 40s.

The first stirring is mainly performed at a high speed to break up the meat tissue and sufficiently dissolve out proteins such as myosin in the muscle tissue. It should be noted that the duration of the first agitation is not likely to be too long, which would otherwise result in an increase in the temperature of the meat emulsion, thereby allowing the microorganisms to multiply and adversely affecting the texture of the meat balls at a later stage.

After eating material and smashing to minced meat state, food mixer stops the stirring, and suggestion device reminds the user to add the material of flavouring simultaneously, and the material of flavouring includes: 4g of salt, 30g of ice cubes, 30g of clear water, 10g of fish gravy, 2g of pepper and 10g of starch. When it is determined that the seasoning material is completely added and the cover is closed, the food mixer is continuously started and a second mixing is performed.

Wherein the starch content is between 4% and 15%, and the starch mainly has the functions of improving the adhesiveness, stability and water retention of the meat emulsion product and restricting the flow of fat and water. The addition amount of the salt is 2-5%, and the salt has the function of seasoning and enables the salt-soluble protein to be dissolved out, so that the elasticity and the hardness of the meat balls are improved. The addition amount of the baking soda is within 0.5%, and the main function of the baking soda is tenderization. The function of the ice blocks is to reduce the temperature during the stirring process, thereby preventing the protein in the meat paste from being denatured and ensuring the taste.

The primary purpose of the second mixing is to thoroughly mix the flavoring material with the meat emulsion while breaking the muscle tissue by strong mechanical forces to turn the protein into a sol-like form. The target minced state obtained by the final stirring of the food stirrer is a meat paste state which is not easy to stick. Wherein, in the second stirring process, the rotating speed of the stirring knife of the food stirrer is 3000r/min, and the food stirrer can continuously stir or discontinuously stir.

It can be understood that the second stirring can also achieve the following beneficial effects: when further stirring garrulous edible material, the material of flavouring of mixture, come to realize the effect of beating to the edible material through increasing stirring part and the area of contact of eating the material on the stirring direction for stirring part and edible material striking effect are obvious, and stirring part rotates under certain rotational speed and pulls edible material, make edible material play glue, thereby the off-the-shelf gel elasticity that obtains is good, minced meat emulsification system is more stable, and the burger of eating the material preparation with this target state is rich in elasticity, the space is compact, the taste is better. It will be appreciated that a hammering effect on the foodstuff may also be achieved by controlling the stirring rotational speed of the stirring element.

In the second stirring process, when the food stirrer continuously stirs, the total duration of continuous stirring is 50s; when the food stirring machine is used for stirring intermittently, the food stirring machine is firstly stirred for 30s, then stopped, and then started and continuously stirred for 20s-30s, wherein the interval time between two adjacent stirring actions is not more than 2min, and the accumulated sum of all the interval time needs to be limited within 5min, so that the meat ball effect is good.
