Development Thread: N/A
Manufacturer: Ringovinda Systems
Model: Roto-Rooter autochef
Affiliation: Open market
Size: 1.5m long
Modularity: No
Production: Mass-Produced.
Material: Standard electronic components, polished quadranium for the outer casing
Strengths:
- Can provide meals in much greater volume than organic cooks around the clock
- Can cook a wide array of meals
Weaknesses:
- The quality of the meals produced is not necessarily the best (picky eaters beware)
- Users must reserve a block of time to cook one particular course before cooking another course
- The control computer is prone to overheating if the gasser is used often
- Outside sources of food are necessary when operating the Roto-Rooter for prolonged periods
Description: The Roto-Rooter is equipped with a variety of features, the most important of which is the pair of cybernetic arms equipped with laser cutters and iodized forceps connected to a control computer, which has a database of over 20,000 recipes so that users can cook almost anything they want. It also comes equipped with a gamma flux boiler and a set of cooking tools: a Gourmet Master 500 food processor, an automixer for processing liquid ingredients, an antigrav whisk, a power spatula and so on, so forth. Underneath the cooktop is a food conservator which can store up to 0.41 cubic meter of food in sealed containers, from which the robotic iodized forceps draw the ingredients.
In practice, the quantity of servings that can be served using one such unit is constrained by the capacity of the conservator. For rapid thawing of the ingredients, a gasser rotisserie oven is installed on the side, behind the control panel that allows the user to determine the recipe being cooked, the number of servings as well as the size of said servings. In ideal conditions, a fully-loaded Roto-Rooter could cook a hundred servings in the time it would take an organic chef to cook for six. To ensure the quality of what's being cooked in the Roto-Rooter, a food sampler sensing package would ensure precise adjustments of spices and flavor agents to the users' satisfaction.
