Automatic vegetable cutting machine, automatic dough mixing machine, automatic dishwasher, ......Walking into the cooking class of a brigade of the 77th Group Army, there is no longer the fiery cooking scene of the symphony of pots and pans in the past, but instead the cooks operate various intelligent equipment in an orderly manner, and put the ingredients prepared in advance in turn according to the process. After a while, one after another delicacies quickly came out of the pot and were served on the dining tables of officers and soldiers.
With the accelerated development of the modernization of the army, more and more fields have begun to apply advanced technology, from one pot and one shovel to intelligent kitchen equipment, the 'smart kitchen' created this time has effectively improved the intensive and efficient logistics support capability. According to the leaders of the brigade, the "smart kitchen" has made the original cumbersome operation mode move towards cleaning automation, cutting and matching mechanization, cooking intelligence, and cleaning automation, greatly reducing labor costs, and effectively ensuring that officers and soldiers "eat good taste, eat good nutrition, and eat combat effectiveness."
One. At 10 o'clock in the morning not long ago, Zhao Yonghai, a cook in a battalion after completing the warehousing of the dishes, walked into the neat operation room, took out the washed potatoes from the automatic vegetable washing machine, turned around and stuffed them into the automatic vegetable cutting machine, and the shredded potatoes of matchstick size and uniform thickness soon entered the hot oil boiling cauldron. What used to take nearly half an hour to make, but now more than 200 servings of "hot and sour shredded potatoes" can be made in just 10 minutes.
That's the convenience of the 'smart kitchen'! Zhao Yonghai said happily. While speaking, the four cauldrons in the operation room served the dishes at the same time, the three steamers in the pasta processing room were unpacked at the same time, and six dishes, one soup and two staple foods were served to the table of the officers and men in turn.
The application of "smart kitchen" should also start from the brigade's exploration of intensive and efficient support. In the early stage, the brigade has been implementing the practice of each battalion providing its own meals, and the daily task of providing food security is very arduous, and the manpower is also very tight.
Now that intelligent kitchens have entered ordinary people's homes, our cooking classes can also be introduced! Yang Zeng, a cadre of a battalion of the brigade, suggested a "cooking reform." He immediately convened the camp staff to discuss feasible solutions, and during the discussion, he learned that there are "kitchen robots" on the market that can solve the current problem of high pressure on food security. After investigating and understanding its performance, Yang Zeng took the plan and found the brigade leader to report. The brigade leaders recognized it very much and asked Yang Zeng's battalion to carry out a pilot project, which could be promoted throughout the brigade if the effect was good.
After discussion, Yang Zeng and the cooks decided to renovate the kitchen in accordance with the concept of "processing and production technology, integration of raw and cooked out", and purchased a number of "kitchen robots" on the market for pilot work.
The newly introduced 'kitchen robot' is highly intelligent and easy to operate, which can also allow us to 'free our hands' and free up more time and energy to devote to improving the quality of dishes and improving food." Li Jibai, a cooking staff member of the brigade, said that now the use of automatic cleaning machines, steamed bread machines, stir-fry machines and other intelligent cooking equipment has made the kitchen realize cleaning automation, process informatization, and standardized food production is more efficient. Stir-frying, washing, and chopping vegetables, he and his comrades-in-arms only need to stand aside to adjust the program to operate the equipment, which not only saves time and effort, but also is accurate and convenient.
Walking into the neat and tidy kitchen of a battalion of the brigade, the "five areas" of food material storage, food processing, cooking and production, eating and drinking, and tableware cleaning, as well as the "four lines" of livestock and poultry, aquatic products, fruits and vegetables, and staple foods, helped them realize the single-line operation of food with different attributes from storage to processing. With the blessing of technology, the kitchen is in order, and the catering service is more high-quality and efficient.
Two. Soon after the "smart kitchen" was put into use, although the food guarantee was efficient and convenient, at the same time, the problem of "difficult to reconcile the meals of officers and soldiers" made Gong Xingguo, the secretary of a certain battalion, muttered in his heart: "No matter how advanced and high-end the kitchen is, it will ultimately serve the officers and soldiers. ”
The dish is a good dish, and the taste is good, but it can be eaten for a long time and it is greasy" "Eating well is not equal to big fish and meat, I like to eat pasta, and the number of times it can be provided is too small" ......After several investigations, Gong Xingguo realized the problem - although the food was good, some of them were not in line with the appetite of the officers and soldiers. So, how to find out what officers and soldiers want to eat in a timely manner? In soliciting opinions, a suggestion to "enter recipes into mini programs so that officers and soldiers can achieve 'online ordering'" was "liked" by many officers and soldiers.
It is necessary to be 'wise' not only in the kitchen for cooking, but also in meeting the practical needs of officers and men. With the help of his comrades-in-arms, Gong Xingguo did a questionnaire survey on the eating habits of the officers and soldiers, and grasped the eating habits of the officers and soldiers in a timely manner according to the bar-shaped statistical table of the small program, "Breakfast should be light and not too spicy; Lunch should not be too greasy and affect digestion; Reduce the proportion of meat for dinner to avoid overfilling. ”
When you open the applet, you can see that there are more than 200 kinds of dishes and staple food names included in it. Officers and soldiers can use their spare time to enter the mini program by scanning ***, freely choose the type of meal they like to eat, the cooking method from the recipes with rich varieties and complete tastes, and put forward opinions and suggestions. The cooking squad summarizes the opinions and suggestions of officers and soldiers through the background, makes recipes reasonably, and prepares relevant ingredients and ingredients accordingly.
We flexibly serve the dishes at each meal according to the preferences of the officers and men, and while ensuring that everyone is well fed, we must also eat healthy. Gong Xingguo said that they turned their attention to hospitals and sports schools, and made a special trip to visit the doctors of the resident hospital to ask in detail about scientific diet, diet health and other related knowledge. They also went to a sports school near the station to learn from their experience in adjusting their meals according to the intensity of students' training.
The "smart kitchen" integrates the military camp "Meituan", allowing the cooks to continuously improve the quality of dishes, and also promoting the transformation of all aspects of logistics support from "manual" to "intelligent". After a period of "tossing", the new recipes integrated into the "smart kitchen" not only take into account the color, aroma and taste of the dishes, so that the officers and soldiers can eat happily, but also accurately match the required nutrition according to everyone's training data.
Three. Nowadays, the intensive and efficient 'smart kitchen' has 'freed up' a lot of time for us, and in the future, while doing a good job in the cooking position, the military training performance will also be among the best! Zhang Zhiqiang, a soldier of a battalion's cooking squad, said that with the use of a batch of intelligent cooking equipment, the pressure on officers and soldiers to provide daily food has been reduced, the time for serving food has been significantly shortened, and hundreds of people can be efficiently ensured to eat. They can also devote more time to improving the quality of dishes and participating in field cooking support research.
Our cooking materials were damaged by the 'enemy', and our superiors ordered our squad to deliver the meals to the predetermined area within 60 minutes......Not long ago, a drill quietly started in the hinterland of Sichuan and Chongqing, and with the issuance of the "special situation", the cooking personnel who had just finished the armed training quickly took out their tools and "dug the stove and buried the pot" on the spot to carry out field support training. I saw that the cooks had an orderly division of labor and worked closely together, and delivered the steaming "four dishes, one soup and one staple food" to the comrades-in-arms on the front line of the exercise 15 minutes in advance.
With the 'Smart Kitchen', we will have more time and energy to devote to improving our professional skills. On the training ground, the cooks not only interspersed basic training courses such as organizing 3-kilometer cross-country arming, battlefield rescue and map use, but also organized coherent training in professional subjects such as fast food making and hot food delivery.
After a busy day's training, Li Wucong, a cook, said: "Now that there is more time for training, we must make full use of it, and the first identity of a cook is always that of a combatant, not only to 'get into the kitchen', but also to 'go to the battlefield'." ”
An Zhiwan, the leader of the cooking squad of a certain battalion, still remembers the situation during a field support -- the troop maneuver time was suddenly advanced, although he and his comrades in the squad had already prepared, but the deployment and withdrawal of cooking utensils were laborious, resulting in the meals not being delivered in time, and the comrades-in-arms on the front line of the exercise and training did not even finish a mouthful of hot food before they nervously threw themselves into the subsequent training links.
The failure of this mission boils down to the lack of ability to deal with emergencies! Now, with the "smart kitchen", An Zhiwan is more able to formulate a training plan for field cooking cabins and field supply units. The training was carried out in accordance with the "four fast" process of "rapid loading and unloading, rapid deployment, rapid cooking, and rapid marking" in the field cooking cabins, and explored the support mode of "the car moves without stopping, and the car stops to start eating"; they "packed the meals into boxes" in advance and adopted such methods as sending the incubators directly to the resting places, and summed up the field support concept of "people waiting for food" to "waiting for rice waiting for people" to ensure that officers and men can eat steaming meals at any time during the exercise.
According to the leaders of the brigade, in addition to doing a good job in static and fixed-point food support in peacetime, they also focused on the actual situation of training and preparing for war, and in accordance with the new training method of "task traction, centralized training, and on-the-job training," they carried out targeted training in close attention to the needs of field cooking support, and made great efforts to promote the transformation of food support means into a "war-fighting" type. The brigade also regularly conducts food appraisal activities and opinion collection activities, with the aim of establishing a work orientation of "mastering new technologies without losing basic skills."
At the end of 2023, Duan Yuxuan, a cook in a battalion of the brigade, not only has strong cooking ability, but also has excellent military training results, and was rated as an outstanding individual with "four haves" at the end of the year. He said with deep emotion: "This is also thanks to the construction of the unit's 'smart kitchen' and the empowerment of science and technology, which helps us become the vanguard of cooking 'to win'." ”
