[@jarrodbarkley9061]

Omg, working on the lasagna assembly line looks soul-crushing.

[@anirbanmukherjee5240]

It’s not. I worked in an assembly line and when it’s properly staffed, it doesn’t hurt the soul at all. You do your time, leave, and live your life. It doesn’t define you. What is soup crushing is when shit goes wrong and you have a stupid manager. I was accused of stealing. I did not steal. I left the line because that accusation was soul crushing. Being frisked in front of my friends when nothing was taken (and nothing was found on me) hurt. And here is the kicker - I was accused of stealing an apple. One apple. Not money or parts. One apple in a food processing facility.

80% of them are probably low paid illegal immigrants with not many other options. Pretty typical with workplaces like this tbh.

[@cmonkey63]

The quick freezing process ensures that the ice crystals that form in the food are as small as possible, so that they don't destroy the structure of the food on thawing. Slower freezing allows the formation of larger ice crystals.

I kind of wish my dad would let us go a step or more up on the Cox lineup but maybe better if I don't need to add extra of my own funds though I miss some extra channels such as premium types and even a DVR. I can't recall which other few shows I'd try out on Sci besides "How It's Made" (I think there's also a "How'd They Do That?" but I could be wrong on the title of it and wish I saw more.

[@martinporras2670]

We need a how its made on "how it's made"

[@-COBRA]

"crumbs a classic lasagna toppings" REALLY?

[@ardalla535]

The picture on the box is different than the reality, but Amy's lasagna is actually very good albeit too expensive for what you get. Reading the packaging, one might think this was made by hand in a small village in Tuscany using no machinery whatsoever.

[@itsAurora-zq8cb]

😂😂

[@DanielApathy]

"full-bodied sauce" is a very generous way of putting it..

[@dak85016]

Can’t believe how labor intensive this is. Looks like some of it could be done by machines.

[@rockstardonut777]

But machines break, make mistakes and need to be supervised. It can be done by machines but it's not always cost effective.

[@Iukini]

@@rockstardonut777 people make mistakes too. I guarantee steps have been missed before by people

[@StephenLeet]

Machines don't really "make mistakes" it is simply something a human did not think of that constitutes a machine mistake

[@hopejean1152]

Right? Like I wouldn't want to take their jobs away but there's no way this wouldn't be more efficient with more machinery

[@sooperkula]

It's obviously because machines need things to be standardised and predictable to work well - the sheets of lasagna would be difficult to work with (slippery and uneven - you can see some sheets are broken). Here, there would be no point in having a specialised machine, since you'd still need people to put things in the tray slowing the process down.

[@ashleywoedy9750]

Such a sad looking lasagna….I love making it from scratch 💜

[@kermitken1]

Same!!!!! I grew up eating my mom’s recipe and I think it’s worth the effort to make from scratch, because every component has flavor. I love putting so much cheese as the “crust”

[@mreeeeeegf]

why in the world would you not automate virtually the entire process? You cannot tell me that fitting noodle sheets into a box or spreading crumbs on something is beyond simple engineering

[@JasminUwU]

Enforcing higher minimum wage will push companies to innovate and automate more

[@joshuarodriguez8922]

they might still want to keep the human element in the process

[@JasminUwU]

@@joshuarodriguez8922 that's not how businesses work

[@lucidzfl]

if you watch the ladies putting in the pasta strips - you can see that they are only about 50% of the time full, the rest of the time - theyre having to play puzzle games and put in 2 strips or whatever matches the size of the hole. Plus - picking up wet sheets of pasta requires a very delicate touch. The cost - right now - to visually automate how to piece together broken pasta, and then grip it successfully, lay it down right, all without breaking it, in under 2 seconds, is a HUGE ask of an automation process. But like the person below says - if costs of labor keep rising, someone will figure it out.

[@TheCheat_1337]

@@JasminUwU Wrong. Companies are always trying to make MORE money. They're not stopping investment in automation out of the kindness of their hearts, all companies want to decrease labor costs and increase profits. It has never been the opposite. Increasing minimum wage is a very good stopgap measure to make sure that workers are better compensated in the meantime.

The white sauce is called béchamel sauce its the traditional sauce. It cuts the acid of the dish. Ricotta cheese is its simple substitute.

Thats not bechamel sauce. Bechamel is made with four ingredients only: butter, milk, flour and nutmeg

Calling that thing lasagna is an insult in all front. They make bechamel with rice flour and add cheese, they use mozzarella and not Parmigiano or Grana padano. If you are a factory you can even use parmesan... Even adding pizza crumbs on top is not what we make, thats have another name: pasta gratinata.
