The spatula at home is really going to work?Church robot squeezed away the master

The Yangtze River Daily Da Wuhan Client July 25th (Reporter Shi Qiang) Pour the washed and cut ingredients into the smart cooking machine. The chef Wei Shouliang no longer holds a spatula, but opens the controller's operating menu. The machine starts to automatically stir -fry ingredients. A few minutes later, a pot of fragrant dishes were made, and Wei Shouliang could install it.

On July 15th, a artificial intelligence stir -fried machine introduced by the Jiyue Center of the Jiyue Center of the Ji Nian Yueyue Center, Jianghan District, Wuhan City attracted the attention of netizens. Whether robots will replace the chefs and become a topic of curiosity. Recently, a reporter from the Yangtze River Daily visited and found that the robots of cooking robots have been applied from catering companies to residents' families.

Use a machine to restore the chef operation

The Jiyue Center was established at the end of June this year. It is one of the 11 community pension service centers opened by Wuhan Jiannian Pension Service Co., Ltd. There is an independent kitchen in the center. Two chefs are responsible for cooking meals. In addition to the elderly who are supplied to the elderly in the elderly center, they also radiate 3 kilometers around, and create a 15 -minute pension circle by distributing the food delivery service.

At 9 am every day, the chef starts to prepare for lunch. The menu is different every day. On July 20th, the three -way dish of lunch is beer duck, green pepper shredded and garlic empty grain dishes.

After washing and cutting the raw materials and completing the pre -processing of simmered water and oil, Wei Shouliang was deployed different seasonings based on the formula. The proportion of salt, sugar, monosodium glutamate, cooking wine, etc., was detailed to the two digits behind the decimal point. According to the weight ratio of the ingredients, the chef ensures the same taste of the dishes per fried.

The reporter saw at the scene that the shape of the smart vegetable scrambler was like a tilted drum. Various ingredients and seasonings were automatically rotated and fired under the control of the computer program to ensure that the heating was uniform.

Five or six minutes later, Wei Shouliang pressed the "dishes" option on the control panel. The drum was automatically put down and poured the completed dishes into the pot. The dishes fried by the smart cooking machine are also bright in color, fragrant, and not inferior to chef's craftsmanship.

Guo Wei, the head of Wuhan Jianian Catering Department, told reporters that the three dishes that day were only some dishes developed by the company. At present, there are more than 30 standardized dishes.

Taking green pepper pork as an example, the main ingredients are used and the proportion is specified. The production process of each dish also has strict requirements. For example, the fried link needs to be frying for 30 seconds under the oil temperature of 170 degrees Celsius; the seasoning should be put after frying for 5 minutes, and the temperature of the machine must be kept at 95 degrees Celsius.

"This is to use procedures to achieve the repetition of chef skills." Guo Wei explained that the company carried out a large amount of data collection and analysis of the manual speculation process of the chef, found the best value, forms a program menu, and used the machine to automatically perfectly restore the chef's best chef. Good operation.

"As long as the process strictly follows the process, no matter who operates, the dishes they make are the same. A person who can't cook, can also make the chef's craftsmanship for poke a few times." Guo Wei said.

In the Wuhan Branch of Shenzhen Zhigu Tian Kitchen Technology Co., Ltd., one of the stir -fried robots has text, pictures and sound prompts throughout the process. The operator only needs to operate in accordance with the preset step. Another new product even saves the auxiliary personnel, and the ingredients and seasonings can be automatically put in the process of processing.

Yang Cheng is the company's sales manager. Yang Cheng introduced that the company developed by the company can be customized according to customer needs. The company and nutritional experts jointly developed the recipes in line with the taste of the elderly. There are cooking methods such as burning, stew, stewing, cooking, and shabby to ensure that the dishes are soft and glutinous, while retaining the original umami taste and nutrition of the food.

Yang Cheng said that after the production process of various dishes is standardized, the operator training that does not understand cooking can replace the chef for an hour. He revealed that the company developed by the company can store up to 2000 dishes to make the production process.

Chefs will become less and less in the future

The original intention of Wuhan Jianian Pension Service Co., Ltd. to introduce cooking robots is to hope for the elderly for standardized, nutrition, and hygiene. The company will also build four such independent kitchens this year, and introduce more smart kitchenware such as cooking robots.

"In terms of cost, a cooking robot can be replaced by at least one chef." Guo Wei counted a account: a machine 80,000 yuan. If you calculate it at 5 years, the annual equipment cost is 16,000 yuan. Now ask a chef to pay at a monthly salary of no less than 8,000 yuan. It also needs various expenditures such as accommodation, welfare and other expenses and personnel management costs.

"Now our two chefs add a cooking machine, and the meal efficiency is far more efficient than the original 5 chefs." Guo Wei introduced that this small dishes can make 100 to 150 dishes at a time. Get far beyond artificial.

"From the perspective of the future development trend, the kitchen does not need a chef in the future." Yang Cheng said, "Smart kitchen is the development trend. After being equipped with a large number of smart kitchen utensils, there are only a few operators in the kitchen to perform according to the procedure according to the program. Simple operations and some other auxiliary work. "Here, the main work of the chef has changed from cooking to auxiliary affairs such as washing, cutting vegetables, and adding seasonings.

Yang Cheng believes that the emergence of smart kitchenware such as cooking robots has its own market needs. Like other manufacturing and service industries that mainly focus on physical labor, the problem of labor supply has become more and more serious in recent years, and the level of intelligence and automation in the catering industry is extremely urgent. More than ten years ago, fried robots had appeared in the market, but at that time, the design was relatively simple and the function was single. It mainly solved the problem of manpower replacement. It was applied to the central kitchen and processed the raw materials into prefabricated materials, similar to a mixer.

Nowadays, with the advancement of technology, the intelligent level of the robotic robots is greatly improved, and the image is described as "a memory pot", and the chef's "irreplaceable" status has gradually challenged. Yang Cheng found in the daily contact with customers that the chefs replaced by cooking robots are ordinary chefs, not all chefs.

"The so -called ordinary chefs, simply referring to chefs who only make ordinary dishes." Yang Cheng believes that these dishes are not complicated, and they can be completed with stir -fried robots. Artificial processing, more cost -effective.

"After the standardization of Chinese food is achieved, there will be fewer and fewer chefs in the kitchen in the future, and chefs will increase in large quantities." Zhangyou, a 48 -year -old catering owner, believes that a large number of smart devices such as cooking robots are used in catering companies. Also market needs. After using the cooking robot, the production efficiency of a chef is several times that of a chef, but the salary is much less, which is conducive to the reduction of costs and efficiency.

Some dishes cannot be rely on machine

In the opinion of Cai Honglin, the director of the clinical nutrition department of the Associated Nutrition of the Associated Hospital of Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, as long as the dishes are not excessive cooking and processing, there is no difference in nutritional ingredients by the cooking robots and chefs. However, there will be some differences in the taste of the dishes and the taste of some dishes.

The advantage of cooking robots is that the limit of the original chef at limited time, fixed place, and providing services to limited diners, enabling everyone to eat cooked food and taste the deliciousness in different regions. The chef's personalized cooking skills can not only inherit these skills by copying and writing as a program, but also meet the development needs of catering customers.

In the next restaurant in Zhangyou's name, two robots were introduced more than a month ago. At present, the robots of cooking can make more than 30 home -cooked dishes. Zhangyou hopes to expand online fast food and takeaway business. At noon on July 21, the reporter saw at the scene that the dishes processed by the machine include fish flavor shredded pork, fried loofah, tomatoes and fried eggs. Many people have a good taste while eating on the spot.

Zhangyou admits that the robots of fried dishes also have their own shortcomings. For example, not all types of dishes can be made. For some of the more complicated boutique dishes, it will be powerless. At present, it is most suitable for the dishes that can be completed at one time. The saying of "cooking robot replacement chefs" is inappropriate. Chefs and machines "have their own strengths."

Guo Wei also found a similar problem: the robot of cooking dishes cannot complete the steamed and boiled vegetables, and some ingredients cannot be simmered and oily. Because of the limited degree of intelligence of machines, it is necessary to add seasonings.

Some citizens also encountered similar problems. Dai Yun, who lives in Hanyang, recently spent more than 10,000 yuan to start a home cooking robot. The overall user experience is not bad, especially without oil fume to make her very satisfied. But when making dried dried meat shredded dishes, the dried son was disturbed. Although the family responsible for cooking does not need to stir -fry, they must stay aside and add seasonings and accessories according to the machine prompts. "It is said that it is only semi -automatic."

"It is impossible to completely replace the artificial equipment." Wuhan Catering expert Wan Jiemin believes that intelligent kitchenware can liberate the chef from the labor of some rough processing or the production of popular dishes to improve cooking efficiency.

"In the future, there are only two roads to go." Zhang You believes that insufficient chefs have transformed into chefs and are responsible for operating various smart kitchenware in the kitchen; chefs with strong ability enter the central kitchen to engage in scientific research and are responsible for developing new dishes for new dishes.
