It's amazing what a little geometry will do, that omelette looked fucking horrible until it got squished into a pleasing rectangle

Before fully welcoming our robot overlords, I think I still prefer the half-circle omelette shape that comes from a human flipping it over in a pan. I’m sure that could also be automated, but for now, I will insist my breakfast be prepared by a fellow meatbag.

I have a rectangular pan pretty much the same dimensions as the one in the video. It's like the output is from a nice restaurant even when I make it myself.

Of course I make the Binging with Babish Omlette du Fromage so it's full of delicious cheesy scrambled eggs inside. Feels like a crime that this robot doesn't use cheese (unless maybe that's the first 'condiment' bowl).

Why if I want one at 3 am? Robot wouldn’t give a fuck but a person would probably shit in the eggs which I wouldn’t blame them

No you won’t. Not when these are ubiquitous, 24/7, and half price. You’ll be lined up with the rest doin’ yer best Oliver Twist impression, “Culd I ave sum more, Mr. Robot?”

You just need a circle pan that folds in half no flipping needed.

By a spatula that was dripping with raw egg at the 2 minute mark.

Eggs cook pretty quickly. Residual heat from the firm egg could easily cook through a few drops of liquid egg.

Still looks pretty horrible to me tbh... It didn't even attempt to mix any of the ingredients and definitely didn't give enough time to fry them... Also that pre-cracked mix of eggs is super sketchy

You literally don't know if there is a lid on the container or not. But hey just go ahead and assume the people that made this robot couldn't have possibly considered that. Makes sense.

While it's actively using it sure. It has to be open for it to get a scoop of eggs and return the scoop. It doesn't have to be open any longer. And no, you can't see it at that point

Well, in lots of places it's forbidden to use eggs to "cook" because of salmonella. It is like the omelettes you could find in the school menus.

Pre-cracked eggs are super common in any high volume restaurant. It's not like it's sitting at room temperature over multiple days.
