Researchers tested the possibility of creating different cheesecakes consisting of seven basic
The most stable recipes turned out to be those in whichcrackers were used as the main ingredient for each layer. However, peanut butter and chocolate spread are best used as supporting layers that form “pools” for softer ingredients: banana and jam.

The researchers note that in order to createmulti-component structures require the development of complex recipes that follow basic architectural principles. A hard base needs to be created to support the softer layers for successful multi-layer multi-ingredient printing.
Laser cooking and 3D food printingproducts will allow chefs to localize flavors and textures on a millimeter scale, creating personalized products based on diet and preferences.
Moreover, since the system useshigh-energy directional light for high-resolution individual heating, cooking can become more economical and environmentally friendly. But for the full implementation of such a system, a lot of work will be required to create new recipes and principles of cooking.
