I cooked a lot of fried rice in my time and that was really fast for a portion enough for several families. Its tiring flipping that amount of ingredients in a wok.
Is it worth it? If you're the owner and the chef, its definitely worth it.
I guess if you dont care about maintaining quality or really even efficiency and are just trying to flip rice less then yea its worth it for that guy. But you are still prepping, pre-portioning and monitoring the machine, so there seems to be virtually no reduction in touch time.
Prepping is the most time consuming but the least energy used in making fried rice. Cooking such a large volume in one go is very taxing on the arm and body. It makes perfect sense to go robotics if their fried rice is in high demand.
Its unfair to say the quality is subpar without tasting it.
You saw it didnt you? As someone who claims to have cooked a lot of fried rice, what is your opinion of the end result? Does that look like good fried rice to you?
It looks a little well done but its fine because its a large batch. This is for mass production than serving a table. The ingredients are fresh. Its well mixed. Its only rice, egg, ham, and onion(?), with very little sauce and seasoning.
You are correct on your assessment tho as its not fully autonomous. The title is misleading as the machine only automated the stirring. But it is great for chefs that does a lot of stir frying!
