Close your eyes and imagine the kitchen of the future. Not 100 years into the future, more like 10 or 20.
Does that kitchen you’re envisioning include a 3D food printer whipping up a dinner or a snack? And if so, are those printed creations being cooked with lasers?
While the crazy idea might not happen tomorrow, if life follows the example of science fiction (as it often does), there’s a chance a 3D food printer with laser-powered cooking will be sitting on our kitchen counter in a decade or two.
If we’re going to get there, this week’s guest on The Spoon Podcast, Jonathan Blutinger, might have something to do with it. Jonathan is a 3D food and software-defined cooking researcher who is trying to envision what this future world of cooking looks like.
In the podcast, we talk about:
- How Jonathan got started exploring future cooking technologies
- What is laser cooking and how does it pair with 3D food printing
- How the current state of the 3D food printing ecosystem compares to other industries like digital music
- The difference between printing sweet vs savory products
- Will consumers ever accept the idea of 3D printed food
- And lots more!
