Laser Engraved HotDogs ???? Or Food ???

[Jesse Anderson]

So i was very board today and put a HotDog in my laser engraver. Why u ask ??? Well why not I say !!!!... I engraved a font across the length of the Hotdog that Oscar Mayer.

Any one else try to engrave and food item's ??? I know that i did a few things for a bakery down the road. They brought over some sort of prepared Hardened Sugar Icing in a sheet. And had me vector cut some letters out. It looked pretty good. The ends were kind of Browned and blackened. But he said he can paint them. He comes back every now and then and has me cut something out.... For Cake decorations...

Any one ever tried to raster or vector food products.

I did the tops off chocolate candies in a Hershey's assorted box once. Put the biohazard symbol on a few. They turned out pretty good. I also once saw a YouTube video that was entirely animated with laser engraved toast. Took something like 200 loaves of expired bread. That was pretty cool.

At some point when considering this common sense should kick in.

Hot dogs and icing in South Dakota. Chocolate candy in Idaho. I don't even want to think about what you guys might be zapping in Montana.

[Joe Pelonio]

Here in Washington, I have done sugar cookies, bananas, and apples. I have been meaning to try ice, but haven't thought of it when I had the laser going.

Don't expect much, Joe... water blocks CO2 wavelengths, so you'll likely get a lot of very shallow cuts that look muddled (puddled? ).



To the OP... there have been attempts at Fig Newtons, carrots, toothpicks (you need those to pick up finger foods, so they count), pita bread, pizza, steak, Jell-O, and on and on and on... search here and you'll find it.

Birthday brownies!

I did some birthday corn chips for a fellow who was tired of the "usual birthday card and cake", cut seaweed wrap to make wings for butterfly shrimp served at a ladies' party (don't assemble them until immediately before serving, which should be several days after cutting the wings so as to air out the burnt smell!), various wedding and birthday "toasts", plus miscellaneous candies (many of which don't work well at all because you get little contrast or they just melt by the time you get enough power to mark them), icings, and such.

I saw a video where someone used an extremely soft focus and slow spiral vector path to cook batter into an edible pancake...

I buy bags of corn chips and put fuzzy, vague Jesus-like images on a few of them,
seal the bag and sneak it back into the store.
I keep waiting for the Weekly World News van to come to town, but
so far, no luck. Maybe only atheists buy Fritos.

[Jesse Anderson]

Chuck that is funny. I thought i was the only one who had that idea. Put a picture of Jesus or the Vrigin Mary on some Potato Chips. Seal the bag. Then drop it off at the local church as a donation. Only to find out months later that
the 2-3 chips u put pictures on sold to a Vatican priest on Ebay for $250,000 a piece. Its a sad day when Jesus Toast or Virgin marry Potato chips sell for thousands of dollars.

Chuck... Engrave the image and then put the corn chips on Ebay... might be great income potential... for a little while anyway

One should not use their power for personal gain.
Only for pointing and chuckling.

There actually is a commercial made toaster that puts images on toast.

Some steak houses have been known to laser steaks. I have done cookies,
oranges, pumkins etc. This is a phase all laser owners go through.

Ever try a popcorn kernal?

Hobby shops like Michaels sell cooking goods, try some sheet fondant and
cut a lace pattern for a cake topping.

There are so many things to do if you just get creative. I used to put on charity
golf events, I designed a personalizes box that held 3 golf balls. I laser printed them
on heavy card stock then used the laser to "die cut" them very popular.

Many fruits and vegetables are now lasered at the packing companies.

Imagine putting a logo on the leaves of "Medical Weed".... It's all in the Advertizing....

Unless you are the seller!
