Rotimatic, manufactured by Zimplistic Pte Limited, a multinational consumer robotics startup is an automatic kitchen appliance that uses artificial intelligence to cook flatbreads. It is the world’s first kitchen robot which has a fully integrated solution that measures, mixes, prepares dough, flattens roti’s, cooks, and puffs the roti’s in just 90 seconds.
Design
Rotimatic has a compact footprint. Its intuitive design fits kitchen platforms and blend-in with any modern home. The device is designed with familiar cues to make us feel nostalgic about traditional roti making. It has airtight ingredient storage Containers where we have to fill it with the flour, water and oil to its corresponding containers. Its bold curves are not just for the looks, but also for easy access and simple cleaning. Another design aspect of the device is its user interface which is simple and uncluttered. It requires only manual free operation. The device can be used by all age groups with no user manual.
Working
To make the roti, all you need is flour, oil, and water filled in its corresponding containers. You can select the thickness, softness, and oiliness. Then by pressing the start button, the machine will prepare the dough by dispensing wheat flour, water and oil. It automatically calculates the quantity of each ingredient to prepare a soft dough. Its inbuilt press rolls the rotis to the desired thickness. At last, the roti’s are cooked and puffed with its inbuilt griddle before pushing it out from its outlet. The process is repeated and the rotis are delivered sequentially. When the first roti is pressed in its pressing container, the dough making container starts with the second roti. The rotis are soft and can be made to meet any individual preference as you can control the thickness and roast level of roti. Another plus point of the machine is that the rotis would be cooked flawlessly without any uncooked portion. It also recommends flour brands tested by their food technicians to render best results when makingrotis and puris.
