I think it’s awesome you lased a pie! I would love to see more food lased. So far it’s mostly just materials and the occasional non-. Not much food done with it yet. I wonder what a pie would look like with one of those Spirograph patterns on it.
Perhaps one day we’ll see a PopTart with a picture of Snoopy laying on his doghouse or something. (This was a completely random idea btw) Here’s something else I’d like to see: Cup of cappuccino’s foam sprinkled with something in some pattern made with a . Anyone out there have a cappuccino machine and a that can make this happen?
Also, I can’t tell but did you lase the pie first and then bake it? I’m assuming you did it first and then baked it. If I’m right, could you show us what it looked like after, or did you eat it already?
I wonder because of the dark marks on the crust. If that was from the I wonder what it would look like if you turned down the power(?). Would it mark it with burning the marks in? If so, I could imagine the pattern showing up after you put some egg white on the crust and got it to a golden brown. I wonder if it would pop up then due to the depth of the egg white.
You could certainly make a stencil to use with powdered chocolate or whatever–I’ve made a bunch of stencils already. But pictures in my cappuccino is something I’m saving for my Tooli (which I still haven’t started to work with yet).
It’s ok as long as the settings are edited out of the description. We’ll need another thread started in beyond the manual to discuss settings and safety
Pie crust was lased before baking. In my exuberance last night, I did totally forget to throw a light eggwhite wash on top before I threw it into the oven, so the finished product looks a little more anemic, post-bake, than it should have.
Will taste it tonight.
I’m hoping thin fine vector lines will have imparted minimal char and not affect the taste too much, so that it results in being far more decorative than “flavour” affecting.
Sadly, @dan, that picture was post-bake. As I mentioned somewhere else in the reply stream, in my haste to bake it, I forgot to do an egg-wash on top which would have darkened it up a bit (plus, throw in shoddy lighting and a cellphone camera, and you don’t exactly have the full food-porn monty, when it comes to image quality
On the plus side, it was delicious, and the lasering had no affect on taste whatsoever - bu certainly added to the visual appeal!
Natural lard is perfectly fine in Ca.
Trans Fatty Acids (ie fake lard) are banned from restaurants.
Manteca, Ca is so named because of a misspelling on an early railroad map that stuck around and was eventually adopted as the official name.
Manteca means butter/lard in spanish.
