why is automation removing the joy and creativity of cooking instead of the dishes, which is what the person is left to do.
How much joy and creativity do think there was in these places before?
When I was a cook, even if I was just making something simple, I could still find creative satisfaction in a variety of ways. How you sprinkle on the garnish, plating, using a little more of this, a little less of that. Food to a chef is like art designed to be destroyed, so with the temporary nature of the medium, it really allows you to be creative. You’re not hung up on making it perfect, because it’s just about to be eaten, so it let’s you be more free with your design choices. It can be fun creating art while you’re supposed to be working.
but if my job was suddenly just washing up after a machine… well. That will get old real quick.
More than there was before the cooks got put on dishwashing and floor mopping.
Imagine being able to automate a cook but science still hasnt come far enough for some kind of dish washing machine and a robotic vaccum cleaner, weird huh
What do you think a dishwasher is
More work to prep dishes for washing than actual help
Have you ever used a dishwasher?
Yes, and I’ve been disgusted by pieces of food perma-sticked to otherwise clinically clean mugs.
Are you using a European or American dishwasher?
Onto the mugs? I’ve never seen that happen to mugs, plates sure. Either way you can now get a sponge and clean that one problem mug rather than everything. Saves you so much time.
You know that is usually remedies by just not putting plates with half a meal still left on them into the dishwasher.
… you don’t need to prep your dishes before putting it in the dishwasher.
