Cooking food is still a chore.

If you are willing to provide fresh ingredients then the device already exists. It's called a god damn salad bowl.

I think the OP is a perfect candidate for soylent green.

I figured out the answer after reading Lola's post:

You need to invent a time machine, go back in time when women actually still appreciated their men (some may still today but the % is lower then 20) and when you could easily make enough to support your family with a single good job.

Then your meal is ready when you get home from work. "Honey I'm home" and bam, the dinner table is set and the food is either ready or will be in 5-10 mins.

But seriously, what you want won't happen until we can make robots that do this. Which won't be too much longer, mind you - the "Robot Chef" will just cost a bit. You can get on your blackberry/computer when you leave work, and program what you want your robot to cook that night and even tell it when to start so that its ready as soon as you get home

Do you really believe that robots will ever be able to do what I do as a Chef? Wow. Maybe you think robots will be able to create good music and art too. Or perhaps, you're one of the folks who are happy living and working in their cubes as long as it's newer/higher tech/different color than their neighbors cube.

Hmm..can people purchase these "time women"?

Do they have a button you can push?

 

[HannibalX]

They have many buttons, most of them are dangerous to push however! :evil:

The ability to be inspired by and share in the love of creating new art/music/food that transcends the mere combining of previous works.

Okay, so you refuse to buy the food yourself. Thus, you're asking for someone to construct a food delivery system that is fully automated. Why would anyone do this? Very few people would benefit from such a device, so no one in their right mind will implement it.

You want the food to be hot + delicious within 10 minutes. This is possible, but not with an automated system that will have to keep the food frozen for health reasons. You can cook hot + delicious food in a microwave if you're using fresh ingredients.

You're just too damn needy 😛

No, no. I will provide the device with fresh ingredients. I just want to feed the ingredients to the machine, press a button, and have a hot and delicious meal, in 5-10 minutes @ maximum.

Hire a chef.

Well we can agree to disagree. I don't attribute love or inspirations as characteristics bound solely to humans - mostly because I don't have any evidence to prove that they are. These characteristics on a base level are simply situational reactions that could be made by anything with a certain level of thinking ability.

Salads are not hot, and their deliciousness is debatable.

Hire a chef.

Chefs are not automated and require sleeping and feeding themselves. What happens when it's 3AM, and I want a full course meal, in the span of 5-10 minutes? A tired, angry chef will not produce hot and delicious meals.

I don't think the robot is going to be winning stars in Zagat's, but I'm sure we can/will figure out how to replicate your average Applebee's and TGI Friday's fare, which I'm sure is more than enough to satisfy. The line cooks there aren't exactly culinary school graduates.

Either way it's not fast enough. OP will be waiting a long time for their replicator. People are satiated by the garbage they can get now. There's no market for this when people actually choke down the processed crap I see at the grocery store.

You're willing to take the time to drive to the store to buy fresh ingredients, but you think it takes too much time to cook something? Ask your mommy to make you a bunch of dinners and freeze them so you can microwave a dinner when you're hungry. Maybe she'll buy you a freezer and keep it stocked for you.

Make it yourself, you lazy douchebag. Do you have your mommy come over every day to clean up after you, too?

this was 60 years ago, btw allow me to introduce you to the microwave.

Microwaved food only meets 1 of the criteria. Microwaved food is hot, but it's deliciousness is debatable. :disgust:

I hope this particular food revolution never happens - cooking is fun and there is no substitute for properly cooked food.

What you need is an Advantium oven. Love mine. It's an oven that cooks with 1500 watts of lightbulb power, PLUS also a microwave. You can have a tasty quail dinner with roast veggies in under 10 minutes.

But what if there were a substitute for properly cooked food.

Screw cooking, I just want a hot, tasty meal.

Any food worth cooking, takes time. I love cooking, and when I make thanksgiving dinner, I start at 5am and the birds out at 1(ish), I usually make the stuffing the night before. Cooking is cathardic, when done well, you really have a sense of accomplishment. I try to keep my grandmother in mind when I cook, she was 5' 0", and ALWAYS had a huge meal waiting for my family (minimum of 5 people), from appetizers to home made lemon meringue pie. no place I've ever tried it comes close to hers. She's been gone close to 20 years now, but I can still smell the roast cooking and start to salivate, I hope food is never instantaneous. It won't be worth eating.
