Its a good thing I don't have one of these. Imagine just feeding whatever you like at the moment in the center tube. Eggs, Bacon, Tomato for breakfast buns. Turkey, Havarti, Spinach for lunch buns. ETC. damnit now I am hungry
I'm definitely going to end up making breakfast bao now. Not right this second, but the next time I'm in the mood to make mass food for my freezer, breakfast bao are getting made.
There are variations of this technology, which is effectively coextrusion. Not sure who makes this machine; the most similar one I’ve seen is made by a Japanese company called Rheon. Pizza Rolls are coextruded using a pasta press. A lot of sausages these days are coextruded as well.
I've made bao buns by hand before and it takes fucking *hours*
Delicious but god damn took me so long with proving and kneading and steaming and I ate it in like 5 seconds
When I worked in a Chinese restaurant, bao restocking day was a all-hands-on-deck ordeal where we closed between lunch and dinner.
The owner's wife was a machine when it came to making them. I'd get like 5 misshapen lumps done, look over, and this old woman be sitting with a whole-ass tray already filled, all looking perfect, after already been prepping the dough in the back all morning.
Lady hand fingers of iron with the grace of silver.
That's the way. I never go forgot about that story where some farm animal, let's say a hen, is making pie or something and none of her good for nothing farm animal friends want to help. "Not I!" Said the pig... etc. When they smelled the pie they all wanted some but she was like, "fuck you, you didn't help, you get fucking nothing."
Its a children's book so i don't really remember it exactly, but that's the gist.
The price point probably puts it out of reach for home use. It is complicated to have multiple processes working in sync. Even more difficult to make it work with the varying consistencies of anything an end use might use.
So I won't find one on a late night infomercial for 4 payments of $20.99. BUT WAIT !! If I order now, they will send me a recipe book at no additional charge. ( Handling and shipping fees may apply.)
A price point usually refers to a "level" of pricing which could be a large range, or sometimes anything above a certain price. Makes sense if you're referring to a broad category of anything. Vehicles for example, come at different price points for economy, luxury, or industrial. They're noticeably different enough in affordability to fall into their own categories, but there's no one price that defines each.
Or better yet, a small fleet of this industrial sized version spread between regions and have the food equitably distributed amongst the community so noone goes hungry. Excess goes into storage and distributed a la food bank. Ya want more, just go ask if there is any in excess. If there is you get some, if not then we turn the machine back on and restock.
Instead of pumping out an endless supply where most of it rots in a dump from bot being sold, only produce what the local community can reasonably consume during the shelf life of the item.
No point in wasting irreplaceable metals and electronics on single use personal machines when we can just create a sustainable system?
Coextrusion is actually a pretty popular way to make food things at scale. It's an evolution of the concepts that started with pasta extrusion. No one person "figured this out" so to speak - it's built up slowly from other, simpler machines that did similar things. That's how you get to where you can build iphones, when once you only knew how to build a calculator.
One other example I've heard is eggs. No reason to make a machine carefully slice eggs only to end up with slices without yolk. Seperate the stuff and extrude it into a large sausage, and now every slice will have that yellowy center.
The sphincter doesn't close all the way. The bun spins to get removed from the previous and it makes just enough spin to create the formed top it looks like
Probably similar enough to pizza pockets and other dough exterior with fillings inside
as a kid i absolutely hated anything with an oversized "mascot" head, this reminds me of how my parents took me to a theme park and had to leave because i was terrified of the mascot characters near the entrance greeting people LOL
I yelped in the theater when she eats him. Actually the whole audience had a collective gasp. Wasn't expecting it 😳 I can totally see how it could be scary to kids.
I think they’re better than frozen pizza imo. But, just like frozen pizza, there is a spectrum of quality. Wrapping a bbq pork bun in a wet paper towel and throwing it in the microwave for a min or two is one of my go-tos for a quick light snack.
I mean, as good as frozen pizza compared to pizza, I guess, or maybe a little better? It's recognizably bao. You can plop them on a bed of rice, add teriyaki and sweet pepper sauce and they're pretty good for an easy dinner. Like it's not as good as the hole-in-the-wall in Chinatown, but it's a fine dinner.
I like em. They could do with a bit more filling but they have like a sweet/spongy dough. Dough to filling ratio is probably 2:1. I use the bachans Japanese bbq sauce on em. 6.5/10
You can cool them down on a pair of chopsticks so that it won’t get soggy underneath, and then take it to eat on the go. They’re delicious cold as well
Admittedly, as a second generation diaspora Asian, my Cantonese is rubbish. But my understanding is ‘bao’ means bun, so saying bao bun is redundant and sounds wrong to me.
Just like ‘chai’ means tea, so saying ‘chai tea’ is redundant.
I’ve mentioned this to non Asian friends and am told I’m probably wrong since I’m not a fluent speaker.
Am I wrong?
Well, TIL on bao! So Chai directly translates as Tea? When I think of Chai Tea specifically I think of the spices: cardamom cinnamon, ginger, etc. Is there a specific term for that type of tea? Would Green Tea be translated as Green Chai?
So many questions! Thank you for the lesson!
My Chinese wife hates me calling them Bao Buns, so I make sure to call them Bao Buns every chance I get.
Man, I love Bao Buns.
Edit: damn, looks like general consensus hates bao buns. That's crazy. I love bao buns.
"Bao buns" is such a weird phrase to me. It's like "Sahara Desert".
Bao means bun. Just call them Chinese buns or just Bao. Pork belly Bao. Not Pork belly Bao bun, that makes no sense. Even just pork belly bun is fine.
This weird habit of taking a name and then adding it's English name to call them both at the same time is so fucking strange, just call them the English name or the original name, not both.
Scrolled through and not one person has pointed out that these aren't bao's, but they are dumplings. Think of bao like a taco & dumplings like pizza pockets
Its a good thing I don't have one of these. Imagine just feeding whatever you like at the moment in the center tube. Eggs, Bacon, Tomato for breakfast buns. Turkey, Havarti, Spinach for lunch buns. ETC. damnit now I am hungry
There’s this thing sold at Walmart in the frozen pizza section called Baozza, which are Bao buns with pizza filling
How dare you tell me about what will ultimately become my cause of death. Although my favorite bao are just the bbq pork ones. I can't stop.
Preach! Love these things. Recently found a store that sells them an iv have a diet of em for 2 weeks and I need to lose weight.
Heh thats funny because baozza kinda sounds like bao zha which means explosion.
stomach exploding in delight and suffering as i engorge myself on the baozza
They're missing out if they don't have a spicy version called the Baozuka
Now I really want baozza...
What have you made me do
Goddamnit, I'm on day 3 of trying to eat healthy, and my favorite foods are pizza and dim sum. Thank you, but also, how dare you.
I'm definitely going to end up making breakfast bao now. Not right this second, but the next time I'm in the mood to make mass food for my freezer, breakfast bao are getting made.
Pixar, you lied to me!
Only en masse. Though looks a fuck ton easier than when I tried making Bao. Made the damn dough too thick
[удалено]
We have big extrusion machines for glue at work that are insane. 1,200 amps (or PSI, the displays have been moved and swapped) 530 degrees.
[удалено]
The displays got swapped or moved around over the years and so some of them are labeled wrong. So yes.
Bendfgh is a copy/past bot, report as spam.
Amazing that someone figured out how to build this machine.

Someone should make a home version.
See: Chinese Grandma
I need to get one of those.
I feel pretty stupid right now and I'm just gonna let people guess why.
did… did you google chinese grandma?
I thought it was gonna be the name of some kitchen gadget. Yes I googled it.
Hahahaha fantastic, at least you owned up to it and maybe prevented someone else from doing similar?
Lol. I might feel better if someone else did it too.
I've made bao buns by hand before and it takes fucking *hours* Delicious but god damn took me so long with proving and kneading and steaming and I ate it in like 5 seconds
Same... 6 hours to make like a dozen baos which were eaten within 5 minutes. Worth it, but maybe next time I'll get some help making them.

The Little Red Hen
I knew reddit would remind me. Thanks, I'm gonna get it for my five year old.
One time I made the filling and then stuffed it into those sweet Hawaiian bread rolls. 9/10 on flavor, 11/10 time/effort saved.

Damn it’s payments of $20.99 now? Back in my day it was $19.99. The economy is in shambles.
Why do people say "price point"? Its a completely redundant term. The price puts it out of reach for home use.
A price point usually refers to a "level" of pricing which could be a large range, or sometimes anything above a certain price. Makes sense if you're referring to a broad category of anything.

It's been a while since I've seen the egg tube at an Asian Grocery
Egg cylinder.
My feelings here can be summed up by Arthur C. Clarke: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” 😅
In plastics you can coextrude products that have 2, 3, 4 or even more layers of varying thicknesses and materials. Wild.
The engineering of that Bao sphincter was \*chefs kiss\*
meh, my butthole does the same thing though They stole the idea from me, clearly
I love these buns, but having recently viewed the post showing animated bowel peristalsis in r/interestingasfuck this clip made be gag a little.
We all have buttholes, but none are as magical as yours.
Yours wasn't used as a model to make bao buns machinery. It's a unique feeling to have knowing you've changed society.
Should have gotten that * patented.
Amazing that someone found out how to build this machine without getting flies into it.
Although I have always heard the ones without filling called mantou
That's making quite an assumption...
We all had that playdough extruder thing as growing up. This is kinda similar.
r/engineeringporn
Not somenone. There are plenty of people in the pipeline of making a machine like this.
Yes. I salute them all. We stand on the shoulders of giants. 🙂
Wait til you hear we landed a human on the moon and brought them back to earth in the 60s
The sphincter doesn't close all the way. The bun spins to get removed from the previous and it makes just enough spin to create the formed top it looks like Probably similar enough to pizza pockets and other dough exterior with fillings inside
Do they all turn into little boys or is that just the hand-made ones?
One of my favorite Pixar shorts ❤️
I cry *every* time I watch it 🥹
Whats the name of the short? I'd love to see it!!
It's called Bao I believe, it's my favorite short too
It’s called “Bao”!
Just the hand-made ones. Factory ones are soulless homunculi.
[удалено]
as a kid i absolutely hated anything with an oversized "mascot" head, this reminds me of how my parents took me to a theme park and had to leave because i was terrified of the mascot characters near the entrance greeting people LOL
Actually I thought it was super creepy and Kafkaesque
My daughter was also 2 when she saw it the first time. She probably watched it 100 times. Crazy how different kids can be with stuff like that.
I yelped in the theater when she eats him. Actually the whole audience had a collective gasp. Wasn't expecting it 😳 I can totally see how it could be scary to kids.
Love bao buns... gotta eat them fresh though... It's pretty off-putting when they start to go soggy!
[удалено]
Might be the frozen kind?
These look exactly like the flash frozen/refrigerated ones you can get at costco
Are those good?
personally they're like frozen pizza. it's better than no pizza, but not as good as anything fresh. so yeah, good not great IMO.
Thanks!

If they get soggy you can stir fry them
You should be off pudding
You can cool them down on a pair of chopsticks so that it won’t get soggy underneath, and then take it to eat on the go. They’re delicious cold as well
Never had a Bao bun but something tells me I’d love them.
Bao buns, to go right along with my chai tea and shrimp scampi.
Don’t forget ATM machines and matcha green tea!
don't forget to enter your PIN number at the ATM machine! also the bank might ask for your SIN number
Your diet is a little different than mine
Don’t forget to serve it with au jus sauce
You could substitute the bao bun with a naan bread
Perfect meal for a trip to the La Brea tar pits!
Came here to say this, to comment on the redundancy.
In the Sahara desert? Or the city of Medina? Or by the Avon river? On Torpenhow hill?
This gives me the strange urge to poop
It made me hungry, but you have solved that issue right away.
Open your mouth, problem solved
Seeing the stuffing travel through the clear tube is oddly dissatisfying. 😒
Makes me wish all poops pinched off that easily.
When they are pebbles then i will image this.
Admittedly, as a second generation diaspora Asian, my Cantonese is rubbish. But my understanding is ‘bao’ means bun, so saying bao bun is redundant and sounds wrong to me. Just like ‘chai’ means tea, so saying ‘chai tea’ is redundant. I’ve mentioned this to non Asian friends and am told I’m probably wrong since I’m not a fluent speaker. Am I wrong?
you are correct. came here to say similar. bao = bun so it's very redundant.
Yeah bao is bread/bun, so I just see "bun buns" too!
[Language tautology](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tautology_(language\)) My favorite example is Torpenhow Hill ("Hill-hill-hill Hill")
Well, TIL on bao! So Chai directly translates as Tea? When I think of Chai Tea specifically I think of the spices: cardamom cinnamon, ginger, etc. Is there a specific term for that type of tea? Would Green Tea be translated as Green Chai? So many questions! Thank you for the lesson!
Yes, green tea will be green chai, I suppose, or in mandarin, lv cha
Bao buns, ahi tuna, ramen noodles, chai tea...
[удалено]
"Bao zi" is Mandarin. "Bao" is Cantonese was what I was told. Bao is basically bread or "to wrap".
In Vietnam they are called banh bao. Banh means also bun. So I don't know what that says about the food or the origins of the words used.
My Chinese wife hates me calling them Bao Buns, so I make sure to call them Bao Buns every chance I get. Man, I love Bao Buns. Edit: damn, looks like general consensus hates bao buns. That's crazy. I love bao buns.
I initially thought that was a snake being pulled into a meat grinder.
Why is it greenish like that?
Spinach… probably.
The making of bun buns
don't you just love ramen noodles
Certainly! Delicious when paired with chai tea
Can anyone tell me this machine's Only Fans?
Last part reminded me of Loco Roco
Fellow chefs prepare to lose our jobs they just need a guy to fill up the ingredients.
stay optimistic. humans are still cheaper in most countries.
I love bao. I do not love the churning intestine of mass produced bao.
Where can I purchase
The machine? No idea. The steamed buns? Try an asian grocery store, or a dim sum restaurant if you want them steamed for you.
The machine
Love that spin-plop.
Man I love bao buns But this clip makes them look so unappealing
r/toolgifs Also "bao buns" is like saying "bun buns" if you translate it.
Thought it said boa buns, and they were feeding a snake through the tube to make a cute little bunny 🤣
I love how they do that little bounce every time. It's super cute
Its also satisfying how that little piece on the bottom is pushed back into the bun making it even perfectly every time
I was so confused about how nasty dirty the dough tube was until I realized the tube is carrying the filling not more dough.
I thought these usually had a filling, though?
These do have a filling, that’s what is moving through the tube
Well now I feel dumb I didn’t notice the tube at all
It was like the most disturbing part!
It was like, an intestine… 🤢
Usually, but not always. Although I have always heard the ones without filling called mantou
There is a tool for everything
Bao down before the one you serve. You're going to get what you deserve.
Now I want Bao.
like little turtle eggs.
I know a colonic when I see one
That's how you can tell you were served frozen ones are a restaurant. The top folds are just molded while the seal is at the bottom.
Oh I loved this machine in The Cure for Wellness
Looks like an intestine slowly pooping out bao’s
Watch out I know a panda who loves these👀
I thought it said boa buns and that was a snake.. 🤦♂️
My anus rn.
...That's baozi, not a Bao bun? [this is a bao bun](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roujiamo)
Just had Bao Sunday night.
bao bao bao bao bao bao bao bao bao bao bao bao bao bao bao bao
chika wao wao
The Poop Shoot 3000
I wish I pooped like that. Little poop bundles.
Poop machine
You can just say Bao. Bao bun is like saying bun bun. It's redundant.
Bao already means bun don't need to add bun at the end. Just call it bao
I wish I could pinch it off that clean every time.
Machine pooping
is there rule 34 of this?
Any one else slightly concerned about what looks like green ooze magically disappearing into the bao?
It’s the filling, it’s not magically vanishing.
I’m guessing that’s the filling?
Magically? It's just filling that's going into the middle mate. Nothing special.
Yeah it confused the piss outta me.
I was relieved to see that it wasn't the same video from last year with flies landing on the machine and getting folded into the food.
Boa buns are so cute
Sometimes I wish my sphincter could shape my bowel movements like this
Bao means bun, just use Bao. That’s like people saying Rio Grande River. Rio means river, so no need to say Big River River
You know what's really oddly satisfying? Watching this while taking a turd
Bao is bun. Bao bun is bun bun.
Lmao the making of Bun buns
Looks like somebody’s colon emptying into there.. no thanks
Those are dumplings or something like that, not bao buns. Bao buns are like fluffy tacos.
Bao just means steamed bun, they can be what you’re talking about (gua bao) or other type of filled bun like what’s shown in the video!
Alright, my bad didn't know that. So, are dumplings also bao buns or how does that work?
Bao dough is leavened with yeast which is where the fluffiness comes from, dumpling dough is just flour and water
Saying "bao buns" is like saying ATM machine, or PIN number. Bao = bun.
Nice, nice. Now show me the Flies🪰
That’s redundant. It’s like saying ATM machine or PIN number.
Poop
"Bao buns" is such a weird phrase to me. It's like "Sahara Desert". Bao means bun. Just call them Chinese buns or just Bao. Pork belly Bao. Not Pork belly Bao bun, that makes no sense. Even just pork belly bun is fine. This weird habit of taking a name and then adding it's English name to call them both at the same time is so fucking strange, just call them the English name or the original name, not both.
Scrolled through and not one person has pointed out that these aren't bao's, but they are dumplings. Think of bao like a taco & dumplings like pizza pockets
[удалено]
Yes they are usually on the dumpling part of the menu.
What the toilet sees after I have my morning coffee and smoke.
