Mass Food Production Unit......Just cannot imagine!

 

The kitchen - a three-storey building - uses Gravity Flow Mechanism developed.

Each kitchen has the capacity to cook between 50,000 to 100,000 mid-day meals per day.

Costing approximately 9 crores to set up, they are built with funds from public donations.

The kitchen - from the inside - consisting of rice cauldrons.

Each cooks up to 110kg of rice in 20 minutes.

Sambar cauldrons cook 1200 litres of sambar in two hours.

 

It is washed thoroughly on the 2nd floor  

 

Rice pours down into steam heated cauldrons for cooking.

The entire cooking process takes place on the 1st floor

Super heated steam is used to cook food instead of flame.

When cooking is finished, it is loaded into trolleys

Cooked rice is sent down the chute to the ground floor
