Note, that the lasers that can generate this kind of heat are by no means "harmless" and generally carry several warning labels.</p><p>Lasers would also focus the majority of their energy on the surface of the food being cooked, and would provide no significant radiant heat to the inside of the food until the outside has been burnt through.</p><p>Also the design itself is impractical. That rack would never support the weight of a large Thanksgiving turkey, also there is no mecahnism to keep it from sliding off the metal racking. If it did slide off I don't see any mechanism to turn off the "lasers" and keeping them from burning (assuming they were the dangerous kind) anything that happens to be in their way now that the food is not stopping them.</p><p>This is another "pretty" (but) useless design concept. <br></p>whackoTue, 09 Jun 2009 15:56:13 -0000http://www.ohgizmo.com/2009/06/08/could-a-laser-oven-be-in-our-future-pew-pew/#comment-10661386<p>Crossing "harmless" lasers does nothing. <br>This wouldn't work.</p>whackoTue, 09 Jun 2009 14:43:26 -0000
