siderealNormal people hearing about a robot that makes burgers: “Wow! So futuristic!”
People who have worked in restaurants: “Who’s gonna clean it”
Occam’s Razor for Kitchen Gadgets: If it doesn’t save cleanup time, it probably doesn’t save time overall.
A food processor chops onions much faster than a kitchen knife, but I can clean a dozen kitchen knives in the time it takes to break down and deep clean a food processor.
And the part that takes the longest is peelin em, anyway.
LR@sidereal i'm with you on the burger maker but this is where you're leaning too far out the window. peeling onions is fast with one cut and then just removing one full layer. a small onion chopper / mixer with separable motor/blade is quickly rinsed and deferred to the dishwashing machine. and it doesn't just chop one thing at a time. add two garlic cloves (crush before peel), a spoonful of vinegar and a teaspoon of sugar, and it does three jobs at once.
in summer, i use it to make iced latte.
