3D-printed, laser-cooked meat may be the future of cooking - Big Think
That is the long-term vision at Columbia University’s Creative Machines Lab, an engineering group that uses insight from biology to research and develop autonomous systems that “create and are creative.” The engineers have spent years working to digitize and automate the cooking process.
- A recent study explored the efficacy of using lasers to cook 3D-printed chicken.
- The results showed that the laser-cooked chicken shrank less, retained double the moisture, and was even rated as better tasting by two blind taste-testers.
- Software-driven kitchen appliances could someday make it possible to design, print, and cook meals with just the touch of a button.
