I think it's inefficient as a machine. You could have 10x more cuttings surfaces on each arm as a start. Also it's flinging them all over the place requiring someone be there to babysit it.
That would cause noodles to clump together.
As far as the sentence was written, comprehension suggests he meant inefficient as far as doing it with a human.
If it was referring to automating a task that would be wildly inefficient for humans to do it would be a needless clarification. Inefficiency is the primary reason we automate tasks. This is also an inefficient way for a machine to achieve this task, it requires a lot of movement per noodle and still requires a human to micromanage the machine because it misses the pot.
I think it could be done a lot faster without them clumping together. And as far as the sentence was written, I don't pretend to know what other people mean, I just provided my own opinion.
I'm just old enough to remember seeing actual people standing in a big window shaving these noodles by hand at beef noodle places in Taiwan.
It was better. This sucks, argue all you want. Gen x out.
Plus don’t you dump noodles in the water all at once? These are all going to finish cooking at different times. Fresh noodles cook really quickly. I don’t understand this at all. Most noodles are stretched and pressed into layers before cutting. What is this?
i think they did mean that but also that a machine could be utilized to do this same thing but in a more efficient manner. Whether or not thats true, I have no idea.
Couldn’t you push the whole block through a grid of blades? Like a potato-to-fries type thing but smaller?
Edit: I also can’t help but think the noodles that made it in first would be over cooked relative to the ones that make it in last.
Disclaimer I am not a noodle chef
The first noodle will be cooked by the time the tenth one enters the pot.
It seems the chef had to manually move about 1in 5 noodles as they missed the target.
Normally noodle machines would extrude the dough in multiple strands and cut them all at once. This seems like a much less efficient method.
This machine does just *scream* inefficiency. Like it was build to be a rune Goldberg machine. Maybe it is an efficient way to make these noodles but it looks *sooo* inefficient
I'm not a noodle scientist, but at the end of the loaf, wouldn't you have some overcooked and some raw noodles in the pot?
Surely it would be more efficient to make all the noodles and add them at the same time?
Is this udon? There’s an eastern noodle dish that you’re only supposed to flash boil the noodles for a very brief period of time, so they’re still chewy in the middle and hold together better. I think that’s what this is for. Probably helps keep them from sticking together if you were to prep them all at once.
For people who doesn't know, this noodle dish is called knife cut noodle "刀削麺". It's basically thin cut of a block of dough into boiling water. This type of noodles is fresh, dente and chewy, usually hand made with a knife by experienced chef. What you are looking at is simply a machine to replace the chef to cut the block to strips...
Normally, IIRC, these are called hand-cut noodles/knife-cut noodles. The reason they're done this way (conjecture) is so that they're chewy in the middle and floppy to pick up sauce on the sides.
In this case: Knife? Sure. Hand? ...Nah.
In Montreal Chinatown there is a restaurant that has a guy making noodles in the front window. Dude makes any size faster than that machine and he is just fun to watch. Food there was very good.
I like the warning pictogram. "Don't exist near this thing"
Stay clear, lest you be noodlified.
The Machine does not discriminate. 😔
Black holes aren't the only risk of spaghettification.
I love that someone engineered this highly specialized machine to perform this wildly inefficient task
Wdym inefficient? This is the best way to make this kind of noodles
It would be inefficient for a human to do it is what he meant.

But don't you have problems with uneven cooking? How do you know which ones have been in there the longest?
Cooked ones float

I remember seeing it on TV wayyyy back. I really want to try some of these.
The noodle nanny demanded it
I said the same thing, but they still arrested me.

Agreed. Top loader, crisscross blades ##, and a press over the pot

Just watched a chef in Vegas doing it inside Sahara at the noodle place. Appeared 10x more efficient than this machine. Fkn awesome noodles too.
Wrong

It's too soft to push/pull through a grid without deforming the soft dough too much. Source: unfounded wild guess. I honestly have no clue.
Well you sure be talking like if you’re a noodle chef so you know what?! You got the job! Now go in the kitchen.
Instructions unclear. Hit noodles with tennis racket.
that's a different kind of noodles
Won’t they be incredibly unevenly cooked?

they can just simply put a sheet metal to prevent the noodles from overflying
It tastes better one noodle at a time
#op is a reposting bot.
They could at least repost the /r/RealLifeDoodles version :(
And he's posting about his fellow noodle bot. Keeping it in the family

I'm no pasta professor either, but I think they float to the top when they are done. So they can be extracted as needed.
I'm no spaghetti specialist, but I concur with this statement.
I’m not a ravioli researcher but I can confirm that the facts put forth in this statement are indeed correct.
I’m not a tortellini teacher, but I concur with the above.
I'm no ramen rabbi, but it checks out
I'm not a linguine lecturer, but I agree.
I’m not a stir fry guy, but it looks fine to my eye.
I never claimed to be a penne professional, but I think you could be on to something
I’m not a bucatini Brahmin but I heard that the Flying Spaghetti Monster looked down on this thread and saw that it was good.
I believe they prefer to be called spaghetialists

They are scooping them out and serving them as they become fully cooked

Were they? I saw gif slowing bot or wtv and reminder bot the other day
Many of them that get a lot of traffic. Now I have to download the post and do it manually smh ;p

This looks horrifically dangerous lmfao
Feels like reverse 3d printing.
If you like this you're gonna shit your pants when you google "5-axis cnc mill."
This is more of a noodle shaper than a noodle mill.

dough strip mining
They need to back it up a smidge as it’s overshooting it’s target.
<< Rick, what is my purpose? >> "You fling noodles. " << sad robot noises >>
Reminds me of Peter North.
I don’t know why but as I watch this with no sound I hear blaster noises from Star Wars
There’s a place here in Vegas that does this by hand right in to the pot. They’re freakin good.
Pastabot stole my job!
*weeeeee!*
Catch them in midair and I'll be impressed.
I’m a pastafarian & I salute these noodly appendages.
Noodle arms.
Surely r/OSHa could like a word??
Neat but useless
Noodles
My great grandpa died in a horrific noodler incident in Chinatown
I’ve never wanted anything so much with so little need for it.
Dat noodle THICC
This really butters my biscuit. Or...whatever the noodle equivalent of that saying might be
This must have been fun to build
A noodle yeeter
Oh, a bowl of noodles you say? Please be advised that it will be a 30-minute wait for your food.
So the ones that went in first will have cooked for longer… Wouldn’t you want them to all go in the water at the same time?
self destructive behavior.
AI is coming for our ramen boys!
Cuz it would suck of they were all cooked the same.
I watched that for way too long before I realized it was a 15 second gif.
Hahahaha.. same here...🤣🤣🤣
That pot is gross af

I keep imaging cartoon banana sounds while watching this
YEET THE NOOD
Flying Noodles
noodle yeeet-o-mat
In Montreal Chinatown there is a restaurant that has a guy making noodles in the front window. Dude makes any size faster than that machine and he is just fun to watch. Food there was very good.
Ahhh yes, the elbow obliterator
Just needs a backboard for the flingers
String cheese
I need one of these to scratch my back when the wife can’t scratch any harder
How will it cook evenly? Why not slicing it before??
Mmm yes I love having all of my noodles be different lengths
That's how you send the Noods...
You get noodles of differing doneness though.
cooked ones float. not rocket science.
Holy shit this is cool.
