1. A kitchen appliance comprising:
a pot defining an interior space with an upwardly opening for depositing ingredients or substances into the pot,
a stirring unit for mixing ingredients or substances deposited into the pot, the stirring unit arranged at least in part within the interior space of the pot and configured to rotate about an axis within the interior space of the pot,
an insert pot arranged in the interior space of the pot so as to define a heat carrier substance interspace within the interior space of the pot between an interior surface of the pot and an exterior surface of the insert pot, the heat carrier substance interspace to receive a heat carrier medium or substance,
a scraper mounted in the insert pot to facilitate relative motion therebetween, the scraper shaped to extend across a diameter of the insert pot when viewed from a top plan view, shaped to complement an inner contour of an interior surface of the insert pot when viewed from a side elevation view, and shaped to define at least one flow-through opening spaced from the interior surface of the insert pot sized to allow contents therein to flow from one side to another side of the scraper upon relative motion between the scraper and the insert pot so that contents of the insert pot are scraped from the interior surface of the insert pot while allowing mixing of the contents at a location spaced from the interior surface of the insert pot, wherein the scraper separates a first portion of the interior of the insert pot from a second portion of the insert pot by at least 75% of an area in a plane along the axis of the insert pot, and
a cover for covering the upwardly opening,
wherein arranging the insert pot in the interior space of the pot includes coupling the insert pot and the cover to prevent wobble of the insert pot during relative motion between the scraper and the insert pot.
