Published Thursday, January 25, This internet-connected solution to producing bread is fun to use as well as fast. A more down-to-earth description would be that Rotimatic is a breadmaker for flatbreads. Rotimatic really is robot roti maker electricity with tech: Making roti is quicker but a much more complex process than baking a loaf. Rotimatic instead pulls in ingredients from three receptacles on the top — flour, water and oil — kneads them, rolls out the flatbread and then cooks it.
And, incredibly, once the machine is up to temperature, it can churn one out every 90 seconds. Rotimatic is big and heavy. The machine itself, unpacked, weighs 20kg and takes up a lot of worktop space. It seems huge but, with a footprint of 40 x 40cm, it only takes up 50 per cent more worktop space than our Cuisinart breadmaker.
But it feels big. So as well as the machine and all its containers, there are cleaning brushes, a quick start guide and a more detailed instruction manual. This lets the machine automatically download new firmware and allows for remote diagnostics. The app offers a decent instruction manual too, if you prefer screen to paper. Ultimately the app will also feature Rotimatic recipes.
But it would be robot roti maker electricity if the machine and app made more use of the connectivity. The other containers are for vegetable oil and water. The workings are in two sections. Ingredients are mixed and kneaded on the right, then rolled out and baked on the left. The machine takes 6 minutes to come up to temperature. It is great to watch. See the dough whizz around through the square window in an homage to Blue Peter, then a robotic arm kicks it into the middle of the machine where it is rolled flat, then the disc of dough is pushed forward and cooked.
The machine even multitasks: Each bread is pushed out onto the open door at the front, like pages from a printer. However, we did fine-tune the settings to get our perfect bread: Rotimatic sent some other recipes that require you to add dried ingredients — such as ground spices, spinach powder and onion powder — to the flour container.
But a growing library of recipes would be good. The display is excellent at guiding you through cooking, cleaning and even errors. Robot roti maker electricity had a couple of problems with the flour feed tube getting blocked but the display used words and even a diagram to tell us how to fix the problem quickly and simply: The screen even alerted us when we completely forgot to put the kneading container in after washing it — this would have been a messy mistake.
After use, you must leave the machine plugged in so its cooling fans work. This can take 25 minutes. You can leave Rotimatic loaded with ingredients.
The oil and water can sit in their containers and get topped up when necessary. But the lower half does require cleaning. The kneading container needs to be removed daily and its two parts washed by hand robot roti maker electricity dishwasher. The kneading tray under it and the inside of the oven robot roti maker electricity need cleaning after use too. The Rotimatic comes with two 'magic' cleaning brushes, a long 'magic stick' for cleaning inside the oven part, and three foam cylinders that look like Nerf Gun bullets for cleaning the robot roti maker electricity and water feed tubes.
Or ultimately a money-saver if you get through vast quantities of shop-bought rotis. The company is currently beta testing a Rotimatic pizza base recipe. Next in line are millet flour, tortilla, gluten free, robot roti maker electricity chickpea flour. These can be added to machines automatically thanks to the Wi-Fi connection and will serve to broaden its appeal. Remote activation is in the pipeline too. If you eat a lot of rotis and can spare the worktop space and the money go buy.
