Why a robotic kitchen should become an essential part of a modern home?
Moley Robotics is a time-saving cooking technology that prepares meals from scratch using only fresh ingredients, ensuring every dish is cooked just before serving. This eliminates the need for reheating or relying on ultra-processed foods, delivering fresh, consistent, and high-quality meals every time, without human errors.
The Moley recipe library offers a wide variety of dishes to suit every preference, including global cuisines such as Italian, Asian, and Indian. It also features wellness-focused options for low-calorie, weight management, and sugar control diets, as well as vegan and vegetarian meals to meet diverse dietary needs. A healthy diet prepared using Moley can significantly improve health outcomes, reducing the risk of cancer by 6%, diabetes by 48%, and kidney disease by 61%, while increasing life expectancy by up to 11 years.
The Moley cooking system is built for durability, with industrial-grade components rated for a minimum lifetime of 35,000 hours. Developed in collaboration with the renowned Italian kitchen brand Minotti, Moley combines cutting-edge AI technology with premium materials like natural stone, veneer panels, Patagonia marble, and glossy finishes.
Moley goes beyond functionality to provide entertainment and education. It can impress guests with its innovative cooking capabilities and serve as a learning tool for discovering new recipes and exploring diverse cuisines.
Additionally, Moley represents significant financial savings. A family of four (two adults and two children) can save up to £43,000 annually by switching from restaurant meals and delivery services to fresh, home-cooked food. For instance, while the average cost of pasta Bolognese in a restaurant is £18, the same dish prepared at home costs just £5. Moreover, home-cooked meals are healthier, offering 30% more protein, 50% more fiber, 67.71% less sodium, and 50% less saturated fat compared to restaurant or delivery options. -
What is the difference between getting a meal prepared by a Moley Kitchen and ordering a meal from a delivery service?
A study from the University of Toronto found that people who cook more often, rather than relying on take-out, tend to have an overall healthier diet. Restaurant meals typically contain higher levels of sodium, saturated fat, total fat, and calories than home-cooked meals. In fact, home-cooked meals provide 30% more protein, 50% more fiber, 67.71% less sodium, and 50% less saturated fat compared to restaurant or delivery options.
Meals prepared by a Moley Kitchen combine the fresh, high-quality ingredients, and personalisation of home cooking with the convenience of automation. The Robotic Kitchen Assistant uses fresh ingredients selected by you to prepare meals with the highest consistency, tailored to your preferred recipes and dietary needs—avoiding ultra-processed or reheated food.
In contrast, meals from a delivery service are pre-cooked and may not always align with your taste preferences, freshness standards, or dietary requirements. With Moley, you have full control over ingredients, portion sizes, and preparation methods, offering a healthier and more personalised dining experience—all from the comfort of your own home. -
Do the ingredients need to be prepared by the user before starting a recipe?
The robotic cooking system is designed to handle the entire cooking process using fresh ingredients while maintaining a high level of consistency. It manages various cooking tasks and sequences based on the specific recipe.
A brief preparation of ingredients, such as slicing or dicing, is required from the user beforehand. For added convenience, ingredients can also be pre-ordered in their ready-to-cook form, such as pre-diced onions or sliced vegetables. -
How many portions can the kitchen cook?
The kitchen can prepare recipes adjustable for 1 to 6 portions. For selected recipes, it can accommodate up to 10 portions, depending on the specific dish.
-
Can I see the calories and nutritional information of each recipe?
Nutritional information, as well as calories and allergens information is shown for each available recipe.
Recipes can be filtered by their nutritional or allergen information as well as for specific dietary requirements such as vegetarian, low salt, etc. and for different cuisines, meal types etc. -
Where can I see allergen information?
Allergen information is displayed for each recipe before cooking begins. This allows you to review potential allergens for each dish. Detailed ingredient information is provided to help accommodate dietary preferences or restrictions.
-
Can recipes be altered or amended to one’s liking?
Yes, the ingredient and recipe information serves as a guide. Users can adjust the quantities of ingredients, such as spices, to suit their personal preferences. However, for the best results and to stay closer to the intended dish, we recommend following the original recipe with minimal adjustments.
Safety & accessibility
-
What types of errors can happen, and how does the kitchen deal with this?
Each robotic operation is tested numerous times by our engineers until it is ensured that they work flawlessly and achieve the required outcome in terms of safety. The Robotic Kitchen Assistant is programmed to prepare and cook according to pre-programmed recipes. It is important that the correct ingredients, in the correct quantity and correctly prepared are placed in the designated receptacles for the robot’s use. The quality and freshness of ingredients, their preparation and the quantities employed need to be controlled by the user to his taste. For any errors or questions, our technical support team is available 24/7 to assist you.
-
What if my pet jumps on the table?
You should always keep an eye on the kitchen while it is in robotic operation. Pets and children shall never be left unattended while the robotic kitchen is in operation. If the pet has jumped onto the kitchen, the user should immediately press the emergency stop button, to avoid any risk.
