RoboChef

RoboChef makes automated cooking robots: induction-heated machines that stir-fry, pan-fry, braise and boil to a programmed recipe, so the same dish comes out the same way on every shift. Commercial Kitchen Appliances carries the RoboChef range for restaurants, canteens, food courts and central production kitchens.

What a cooking robot does

A cooking robot follows a recipe precisely: heat, stirring speed, timing and, on some models, the dosing of sauces and seasoning. That removes the variation between a good shift and a bad one, and frees skilled staff for work a machine cannot do. Once a cycle starts, it runs unattended.

The RoboChef range

MSS400PRO

The MSS400PRO has four pots, each taking up to 600 g per dish and cooking to a maximum of 300°C, turning out four dishes per three-minute cycle from an 1100 mm wide footprint. It ships with pre-set menus, takes custom programming, carries a cloud management backend and has an IPX5-rated body for wash-down. It is a 415 V three-phase installation.

MSS2K and MSS2KPRO

The MSS2K uses 3D electromagnetic induction to heat a 400 x 400 mm uncoated alloy pot to over 300°C in around 26 seconds, with pre-set menus, custom programming and cloud updates, at 8.7 kW on a 415 V three-phase supply. The MSS2KPRO is built around a single 2 kg batch for sauces, curries, rice dishes and bulk components, reaches 300°C, supports over 300 dishes through a 10-inch touch screen and runs at 12 kW on three-phase.

MSS7K

The MSS7K cooks up to 7 kg a batch and around 80 kg an hour, adding its own sauces and seasonings from 11 liquid nozzles and 4 dry-seasoning trays. Induction takes the pot past 300°C in about 10 seconds, with 11 power levels and 5 stirring speeds. It runs on a 415 V three-phase 15 kW supply.

Choosing a RoboChef

Choose by how your menu is served. Four small pots suit dishes plated individually to order; a single large pot suits batch cooking for a canteen, buffet or central kitchen. Every RoboChef model here needs a three-phase supply and an electrician, and like any cooking appliance it needs extraction above it.

• Batch size. 600 g per pot on the MSS400PRO, 2 kg on the MSS2KPRO, up to 7 kg on the MSS7K.
• Power. All models need a 415 V three-phase supply.
• Menus. Check the pre-set menus and programming options against your dishes.
• Ventilation. Plan extraction with your fit-out contractor.
