NOSH, a Bengaluru-based company, has launched a cutting-edge cooking robot designed to cater to the needs of Indian households. Priced at ₹73,000, this cooking robot aims to simplify the cooking process by automating key tasks without compromising the authenticity of traditional Indian dishes. Equipped with a dedicated pan, stirrer, and exhaust filter, the robot ensures efficient cooking with minimal user intervention. It also features a dual-compartment container for water and oil, an eight-slot spice tray for commonly used Indian spices, and a five-compartment ingredient tray for prepped vegetables and grains.

The robot integrates with a companion app, allowing users to explore recipes, plan menus, and customize preferences. By following the app's guidance and loading the necessary ingredients, users can command the robot to begin cooking, making it an ideal solution for busy families who want to enjoy home-cooked meals without much effort.

How did X users react to the product?
Reactions from X users were mixed. While some saw the potential in the cooking robot, others voiced concerns. A few users appreciated the convenience but raised practical issues, such as the robot’s lack of real-time seasoning adjustments, which many home cooks consider crucial. One user commented, "When we cook, we taste and add spices as needed. Here it is blind."

The ₹73,000 price tag was another point of contention, with users suggesting that a price below ₹50,000 would make the robot more accessible. Others pointed out that while the robot simplifies many cooking tasks, it lacks a chopping feature, which they considered a significant part of the cooking process.

Concerns over hygiene, particularly regarding the possibility of fungal or bacterial growth in the compartments, were also highlighted. Some users recommended region-specific models, such as a simpler version for South Indian dishes like sambar and rasam, priced below ₹25,000, to make the technology more affordable and tailored to local culinary needs.
