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.
Rachael L@sidereal YEP. we use a mortar and pestle for many tasks that often are suggested to use a food processor or other electric gadget. But cleaning those gadgets take so long and cleaning a m&p takes hardly any time at all.
Adam Jacobs 🇺🇦@r343l @sidereal There's definitely a balance to be struck. If you're dealing with small quantities of food, the food processor is often not the quickest way.
Though having a dishwasher-safe food processor bowl tips the balance in favour of smaller quantities. But still it's never likely to be good for tiny quantities.
And chopping onions is pretty quick with a knife anyway. I hate to think how many onions I would need to chop to want to use the FP for that.
