Jun 9 2009Will Future Ovens Cook With Lasers? (Yes)
Electrolux just ran another one of their harebrained design competitions and this laser-powered oven created by Ludovic Peperstaete was one of the featured designs. It cooks with pews!
Instead of heating elements or an open flame, food is cooked via 3 harmless lasers that are targeted by the cook. And while a single laser supposedly isn't strong enough to cook food, we all know that crossing two lasers can cook anything from a Thanksgiving turkey to the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.
I, for one, welcome our pew pew oven overlords. Now, bake me a cake! What do you mean, "there's already a bun in the oven"? I thought we did it in the broiler. WELL THEY'RE TOO CLOSE TOGETHER -- HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW?!
Could A Laser Oven Be In Our Future? Pew Pew! [ohgizmo]
Thanks to Damian, who cooks his meals the old fashioned way: by leaving it to a woman.

I clicked the geekologie link on the dr who post and this new post popped up leading me to believe that when you die you want to be cremated by lasers.

@4 sadly you're no better then the douches that failed in front of you
I love lasers (especially 125mW ones) but I think I'll stick with conventional cooking. IF the meat Jeff Goldblum ate after transporting it before he was the fly didn't taste funny I'd reconsider, but that wasn't the case & look what happened to him later on

Because everthing is better with lasers!
12. Pew³ - June 9, 2009 2:21 PM
I've been cooking with lazers for quite a while now.
Lazer beams from my eyes. Although it can be hazardous when craving popcorn while watching a movie. I've burned out a few TV sets that way.
Pew Pew Pew!!!!

19. naas - June 9, 2009 2:31 PM
@15 you should consider a 'better education for a better world' since spelling isn't your strong point
We're also happy here insulting each other when we're not being good mentors, so thanks for the invite but we'll praise geekologie right here

30. Daisy - June 9, 2009 2:51 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back down where Max was standing behind BA as he told Hannibal that he wasn't flying in no airplane, and max stuck him with a sedative injection, and then they got him on the plane as he slept.

There a similar device being advertised on television. This one uses laser technology. This does not sound very safe.

34. Ollie Williams - June 9, 2009 3:32 PM
Is it just me, or when looking at this, I immediately think of the oven in Back to the Future II where they put the little pizza in, and it comes out regular sized. God damn you future, where are you on that one? Get your act together.
35. /Eyeroll - June 9, 2009 3:52 PM
@Nick Bacon - The sad thing is you are using your real name on forums and surprisingly expect that others here do the same. Naas > You
@ ALL of you Mybrute fagtards... nobody cares. Play a real game... hell play a card game. Play with yourself... but quit linking your trash in forums. damn... little shits

"And while a single laser supposedly isn't strong enough to cook food, we all know that crossing two lasers can cook anything from a Thanksgiving turkey to the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man."
Uh yeah, we all knew that... crossing two lasers can cook anything.
I mean I totally did, I don't know about you guys.

Give me the old fashioned way of cooking.Fire made from wood.My girls like to cut the wood in the forest and carry it on the shoulders all the way home!

@41
Again, the easiest way to tell someone is imposterizing me is when they post racist comments. Just ask McGloin. Wait.....CHRIS SALVADOR is McGloin! McGloin likes faggy bike lights! I knew it.

Naas is a great name, very strong. It's the name of one of our all-time greatest rugby heroes. Get some respect if you don't want a PK upside your ignorant head.
