TBH if I was doing any kind of significant volume the first thing I'd invest in would be a Robot Coupe prep machine: https://youtu.be/2dVAAc1ad5U?t=19 https://y

  you’re forgetting time for cleanup, assembly, put everything back, move shit out of the way, precut veg into pieces which fit in the machine.. etc etc. Specialized equipment in a kitchen is all about the time trade offs.

    Robocoupes are easy to clean and setup and take up little space when not in use. An amateur making coleslaw (or whatever) can process 10x the amount of produce then an average pro chef with a knife and cutting board. Yes, some gadgets are not worth the hassle but there is a reason these are in near every professional kitchen.

      Totally agree with you as well. I’m just saying that two minutes vs 20 for coleslaw isn’t quite right. A mandolin can process quite a bit, too. I absolutely loath cutting julienne carrots in a kitchen and the robot croupe is great at that for sure. Potatoes, too. But some things wouldn’t save a lot of time really, like slicing cucumbers which would be faster to do with a knife and cutting board.
