This is not surprising. Cobbled together prototypes and first runs are usually not pretty. It's like the first pancake or waffle, usually not quite right. A machine will certainly be quicker and more consistent once setup correctly.
Perhaps there are artisan niches where a machine cannot do the work, and a human slaves over the minute details, but those are usually luxury items.
- roel_v 10y ago" It's like the first pancake or waffle, usually not quite right" Very much OT, but that's because the pan or iron isn't hot enough. Ever since I started first putting the pan on the fire, then mix my batter while the pan heats up, my first pancake has been as good as every one after that. (sorry to contaminate the discussion with this, but I found it much more satisfying than I would think is normal when I got a process down that stopped me from looking like an amateur pancake maker, which is why I figured I'd share :) )
- tluyben2 10y agoMy first pancakes 'fail' (no-one minds eating them :) not because of that but because I need to get the feel for the batter spoon in my wrist, get a feel for the cooking time and get a feel in my wrist for the pan & flipping motion. I do not bake them that often so that feeling needs to come first. After a few it's there and then I can bake 100s of the same ones. Which I do at (beer) festivals. Also sorry to contaminate the thread.
