Technology advances by leaps and bounds in our society and that is obvious. In the culinary world it is also like that and every day there are more facilities for Cooks. There are already several examples of machines that have crept into restaurant kitchens to aid in daily services but the latest innovation It is the never seen. The robot that we are going to talk about today is not that it helps us, but that it is directly capable of cooking only one paella. Can you believe it? We will tell you.
The revolution in the hospitality sector
A paella cooked by a robot? Oddly enough, it is. The revolution in the culinary world is coming and human intervention is no longer needed to create a typical Spanish dish. This incredible pioneering machine was born thanks to the union of the company be robot 5 (br5), which creates robotic arms, and mimcook, which has paella pans with electric fire control and it has been a surprise in the catering sector.
How do you make a paella cooked by a robot?
To make this very traditional recipe, the first step is for the robotic arm to introduce the ingredients into the paellero. Then he removes them and flattens the rice. At that moment, the paellero itself stores the data of a chef when preparing a recipe, so it puts the fire at the correct temperature at all times and also controls the fair cooking time, one of the most difficult steps. Finally, you just have to wait for it to be done and it is ready to serve.
It is assumed that the original recipe for this traditional dish should not include chorizo, sausages or other ingredients of this style that many people use in their elaborations. Therefore, by being able to select the ingredients you want, you can use the usual basics. These are olive oil, salt, water, chicken, rabbit, tomato, sweet paprika, saffron string, round rice, green bean «bajoqueta», white bean «tavella» and garrofón.

This initiative was recently presented at the H&T Hospitality Innovation Show, In Malaga. And, it allows people to dedicate themselves to developing their creativity to innovate with surprising recipes. In this way they save time when carrying out the usual tedious and repetitive steps. Although this can and has already created a great dilemma among kitchen lovers who also like to make the dishes step by step. As are the fans of Valencian paella. Therefore, we do not know how successful this robot will be when push comes to shove.
Anyway, this great robotic arm not only knows how to cook paella, but, as he has stated Enrique Lillo, Brobot5 engineer, to the British media of The Guardian: “It is a multifunction robot: right now it cooks rice because it is connected to a Mimcook, but you can connect it to a deep fryer to fry potatoes, or you can place a grill so that it can cook hamburgers, or an oven to who can cook pizza or croissants ”.
For this reason, it is very likely that large venues in the HORECA sector (Hotels, Restaurants and Cafes) that need to cook quickly and at the same time make delicious dishes end up obtaining this robot, since many inventions that came out, at first were not successful, but later they were necessary in society. Of course, the investment to obtain this paella cooked by a robot is important.
Also, with the pandemic, this culinary robot is a great solution so that food is not handled by many people and does not run the risk of being cut or burned. In addition, you can repeat the dish as many times as necessary that it will always come out the same, without going over, without burning and one hundred percent perfect.
What is clear is that technology will continue its course and each time it will surprise us with new inventions. Although some are sure that they will not be able to replace humans or fully incorporate themselves into our lives. How can it happen (or not) with this robot. What do you think? Do you think a paella cooked by a robot is it a good idea and will it work?
