I've always thought a kitchen would benefit from a powerful overhead
stirrer, like the ones we use in the lab. It would be extremely easy to
incorporate one into a hood vent - just put the motor up inside the
hood, out of the way, with an attachment where you could clip on the rod
and paddle as you needed it. With an electric motor and various paddle
sizes, it would easily be powerful enough to stir a large pot of stew or
chili, and could work with different size pots and types of food.


If you ever watch a television show called "Monster House" on
the Discovery Channel, they did a race car themed house where
the kitchen had a series of overhead pull-downs like those found
in automotive workshops. One of the pull-downs was an air powered
drill with a whisk attachment. Sounds similar to what you are
describing.
