Auto-Kitchen	comment	In some science-fiction works the job of food service is relegated to automated slots in the wall or machines. They may be Matter Replicators or simply a dispenser of stored food like a vending machine. Usually comes in one of two varieties: "any food imaginable" or "artificial food only".

Auto-Kitchen / int_1462da4	comment	In Come Back Mrs. Noah, a "nutrition pill" is inserted into a robot chicken, which after much clucking produces a string of eggs. There's also the dispenser that squirts out raspberry jam at unpredictable intervals, forcing Mrs. Noah to run back and forth trying to catch it.

A few minutes later a food container emerges along with a squeeze-tube of illicit moonshine; Paris surreptitiously drops a tenner into the slot in payment for the booze before it closes.

Auto-Kitchen / int_25dc04aa	comment	Norby, the Mixed-Up Robot: Space Academy (and even apartments on Manhattan's 5th avenue) are equipped with computers/robots that perform most of the duties for cooking. It leads to problems for Jeff that he's so bad at learning Martian Colony Swahili that when he programmed a sleep-learning device, it accidentally hooked into the kitchen computer and downloaded classified information from Space Command and translated them into Martian while downloading the recipes into his head (without any help at translate, so the only reason he knows they're recipes is that he's eaten Martian cooking before). Admiral Yobo, in charge of the Space Academy, won't be able to get a decent meal until this can be fixed.

You have to be careful what you say, as edible animals like chickens are provided while still raw, intact and living (werk), unless you specify how you want them prepared (Nanny Ogg's ham sandwiches) and even then, it will still produce far too much.

Auto-Kitchen / int_2e2efbf9	comment	Doc Brown's machine seen in the opening credits of Back to the Future is a somewhat Rube Goldberg-esque device that comes on at 7:54, activates the coffee machine, turns on the TV, pops down the toaster, and opens a can of dog food into Einstein's dish. It's essentially a spoof of the trope, since the point is to show that Doc has been gone for a few days and had forgotten to turn it off. In Back to the Future Part III he's built a more steampunky version in 1885 that makes bacon and eggs.

Individual food items are behind little glass windows in the walls — just open a window and take the item. In the Twilightcycle 2000 adventure, one of the Player Characters' items of equipment is the Port-O-Vat. Just put in any kind of organic material and the Port-O-Vat will process it into a bizarre food combination, such as Proto-Algae a la king. In the XP edition supplement The Underplex, just put a cupful of organic ingredients (mushrooms, tree bark, cockroaches), water and an enzyme cocktail into the QuikFun Enzyme Kit's hopper and let it autostir. In a few minutes you'll have delicious Hot Fun!

In fact, when Arthur tells it to make real tea ("The taste of dried-up leaves boiled in water"), it essentially hijacks the circuits of the rest of the ship and freezes it for several hours (in the midst of an attack) before it finishes with what Arthur describes as "the best tea [he's] ever tasted".

By Series 10 of the revival, there's apparently a macaroon dispenser also, suggesting multiple specialized devices of this trope.

Auto-Kitchen / int_ddf1c07d	comment	Onabe from Doraemon: Nobita and the Robot Kingdom is a robot oven who cooks up a delicious meal by eating the ingredients first. Introduced in Chapek's kitchen, Onabe swallows a large pile of vegetables and voila, instant salad. Applies only for the manga, though; in the anime adaptation, Onabe's a generic robot cook.

Auto-Kitchen / int_e5c5bc22	comment	GURPS Steam-Tech includes in its "Mechanical Men" section a steam-powered sushi chef. Horror stories that they can be reprogrammed to use their knives for other purposes are common but unsubstantiated.

Auto-Kitchen / int_f16ee232	comment	The Caves of Steel: People in the megacities of Earth are fed in section kitchens, large halls where food and cutlery appear from a slot in their table. However, it's made clear that this is not an automatic process; there's a large staff working behind the scenes, and the protagonist annoys them by using his police permit to order a meal instead of his ration tag (too many people using special permits causes auditing problems).

Auto-Kitchen / int_f9603330	comment	Gamma World module GW1, "Legion of Gold": Each underground shelter has a food and beverage dispenser set into the wall. It is button-operated, with a 50% chance of spewing out a greenish paste that is deadly poisonous. Inside the underwater SAMURAI facility is a kitchen area with a large machine. If properly activated, it can process seaweed into edible food with a variety of flavors, temperatures, textures and colors.
