So let's strategize for a
couple of minutes. With restaurants out of
style because of the virus pandemic, and remote working pushing city dwellers to
suburban areas, Americans have spent a lot of time at home this year
- forcing them to prepare their meals.
Come to find out, meal
prepping takes a lot of time, and can eat up an entire evening. To simplify the
process, many people ordered meal kits from Blue Apron or Hello Fresh during
the pandemic to save time and avoid supermarkets - but a meal kit still takes
at least 30 minutes to prep.
In today's age of automation
and artificial intelligence, there's got to be a better way. One company offers
the world's first-ever "robotic kitchen" for consumers that does all
the cooking for you.
Adios restaurants or cooking
for yourself or even hiring a private chef, that is, because the Moley Robotic Kitchen can whip up at
least 5,000 recipes at the press of a button.
"Not only does the robot cook complete meals, it tells you when ingredients need replacing, suggests dishes based on the items you have in stock, learns what you like and even cleans up surfaces after itself," London-based robotics company Moley wrote on its website.
Moley gives a household the
peace of mind with "routine cooking, plan and adapt your menu according to
different diets and lifestyles, enjoy international cuisine anytime, control
calories and get cooking tips and recipes from chefs around the world,"
the website continued.
Now the robotic chef isn't
cheap. It costs a little more than the 2020 McLaren 720S supercar, around
$330k.
According to The Guadian,
Moley Kitchen already has 1,205 "qualified sales inquiries" from
people interested in buying one.
Over time, automated kitchen
prices are expected to become more affordable.
"What you are looking at
here is the world's first consumer robotic kitchen," founder Mark Oleynik
said as he launched the robot kitchen at the Gulf information technology
exhibition in Dubai. "Like all breakthrough technologies – cars,
televisions and computers – it will appeal to enthusiasts, professionals and
early adopters, and is priced accordingly.
"We anticipate that our
pricing will be reduced significantly over time with production volume,
efficiencies and economies of scale."
So why ever return to a restaurant when you can have a
robotic chef whip up 5,000 recipes at the press of a button?
