3D Food Printing & Cooking with Lasers!

The Spoon Podcast

When you think of the kitchen of the future, do you envision a 3D food printer instantly whipping up a dinner or a snack?

While the crazy idea might not happen tomorrow, if life follows the path of science fiction (as it often does), there's a good chance a food printer will be sitting on our kitchen counter in 10 or 20 years.

If we're going to get there, this week's guest 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!

Enjoy this week's podcast and we'll see you next week!
