WIRED tried 3D-printed steaks that you can’t buy anywhere yet. But reducing food to a technological problem leaves a bitter taste, and delivers all the joy of licking a catering catalog.
Source: So You Can 3D Print a Steak Now—but Why on Earth Would You?
reminder: invest in the slurry and delivery; give the machines to restaueants, like pop machines. get the delivery network running.
not a great review. early times, i usppose. but will the industry be able to get over failing like this early on?
“These 3D-printed meats were technically food, I’ll give them that. The filet steak even had a texture that was passably meaty (at least for the initial bite), but they had all the joy of licking a catering catalog. There was little in the way of depth, savoriness, or surprise. At best they were a passable platform for something that might impart real pleasure, but they didn’t suggest to me that 3D printing was any kind of breakthrough for plant-based meat.”
