New 3D printer lets home cooks print their dinner
Fox News ^ | December 11, 2013

Here’s an appliance to help you make perfect pizza every time, and we mean every time.

The same technology being used to make guns, toys and even diamond rings, is being applied to homemade food.

Barcelona-based 3D printing startup Natural Machines is releasing the Foodini, a 3D printer that allows cooks to create perfectly formed meals, reports the BBC.

Users can combine up to six ingredients to at a time, and with a push of a button, the food comes out of the nozzle in a preprogrammed pattern. Think evenly made pizzas, burgers, and ravioli. And it’s designed so the ordinary home cook can use it.

The Foodini, which looks a bit like a miniature oven, can also perform other useful food prep tasks, like decorate cakes.

However, it can only print in one material at a time, so you'll have to switch different ingredients as you print. And it can only combine ingredients and not actually cook them...

I see we’re all on the same page.

None of them ever ordered a coke. Makes me worry for the future. At least we know Quark has root beer.

Are we going to wind up with intelligent robots that can print their own human inventors?

Will a future white hut be able to cut back to, say, only half a dozen chefs? or less?

Pizza out of a nozzle - what an appetizing concept.

If pigs have wings, it'll be a mess:

"If seven maids with seven mops
Swept it for half a year.
Do you suppose," the Walrus said,
"That they could get it clear?"
"I doubt it," said the Carpenter,
And shed a bitter tear.

. . .

No, a Jarrett, a toadie, a musselle, and several shczarks will probably stay for the feast.

Get back in your shell, oyster . . . /sarc
