This could be amazing. Wondering what the cost and durability of it is.
Probably burns out your eyes if you look at it under bright sunlight.

And once it becomes even a little dirty from any dust in the air, it becomes useless and you need to run the AC again.

Mix this and vantablack and you get the world’s greyest paint.
It was a tough call whether to post this here, in the What Could Possibly Go Wrong thread, or over in Things you Should Never Ingest. Decided on here largely because it involves lasering chickens, which is undeniably awesome (unless you’re the chicken).

The pureed chicken reminds me of the Matrix food slop.

Not in the mood for chicken paste. Call me when I can cook my tendies with my Arctic Laser.

Ever wonder why Tasty Wheat tastes like Tasty Wheat?

Do you know what it really reminds me of? Tasty Wheat. Did you ever eat Tasty Wheat?

Lol.
The digital pimp hard at work :)
To make sure the 3D-printed chicken still appealed to the human palate, the team served samples of both 3D-printed laser cooked and conventionally cooked chicken to two taste testers. It’s not a significant sample size, but both taste testers preferred the laser-cooked chicken over the conventionally cooked chicken, mostly because it was less dry and rubbery and had a more pleasing texture.
If you normally cook food so it’s dry and rubbery, I humbly suggest YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG.

I didn’t know you could even do that with chicken LOL.
Overcooked chicken breast is pretty awful. Personally, I like to sous vide chicken breast, because it’s impossible to screw it up. That would be a far better baseline for that experiment. Well, either that, or find someone in the lab who actually knows how to cook.

You’ve never had my mother-in-law’s cooking.

Or, in the 60s, my mother. Luckily we had grandma to set things right.

Exactly, the US fixation on breast meat over all others is bizarre. The thigh and drumstick are vastly superior in every way except heft. Which, now that I think about it, explains everything.

100% agree. I too never understood the fascination with white meat. The few times I get Kentucky Fried Chicken it’s annoying because they won’t let you get just dark meat in their larger family meals. Its some dark and then their dried out oversized breast pieces.
We are a step closer to Jurassic Park.
