Hello, William Osman is my name and today
we're following the suggestion of a commenter...sort of. He wants us to laser cut turkey.
But I don't have turkey. I kind of do, it's more like a tube of turkey. Otherwise known as a wiener or a hotdog or a bratwurst.
(clinking)
Let's! Get this party started.
(beatboxing)
We made it about halfway through so let's go a little bit slower. Cut number two.
Oh we're close, test number three, even slower.
And I think we've got a full hot dog slice.
Kill me!
Test number four.
I'm going to go a quarter slower than the last one and this has got the focal point a little bit further down.
Ah, the smell is really rank.
That definitely went all the way through. And now the moment of truth.
Aw yeah, now it's a Canadian.
(mumbling like a Canadian or whatever)
We're doing that same test just cutting in the opposite direction and go.
That would go right through your finger; this would cut your finger off.
Now I know what you're thinking. "William! I bet that hot dog tastes pretty good."
Oh, my God!
It's really bitter and like burnt. Imagine the taste of burnt. One second.
Imagine the taste of burnt times like ten with the essence of hot dog.
It's pretty good, nine out of ten. Cameraman John, you wanna try it?
William: Alright, put it in your mouth.
John: Oh, ah!
William: What do you give it out of 10?
John: 10 out of 10. Not bad.
William: 10 out of 10? Holy crap.
Oh, do I have to?
William: Yes!
Oh my God, it smells really gross.
William: No, just try it, it's not bad at all.
William: How many points out of ten?
(oh, she does not like it)
William: How many points out of 10?
Ugh! Zero!
And now, for the main course.
We're going to laser cut- no, laser sear a steak.
One second, just gotta tape this hot dog back together.
I feel like laser searing a steak is probably the only thing we can practically do. Cutting it is going to work, but it's going to taste like butt.
But the laser's not really good at any of this stuff.
We're just gonna ruin a steak.
Gotta get the air out.
What I'm currently doing is angering steak enthusiasts all across the globe.
We're sous vide-ing...but before that, to speed the process up, we microwaved it. So this is currently a microwaved sous vide-d steak.
It's okay though, it was 50% off.
In front of me I have a laser seared steak and a pan-seared steak for a flavor comparison.
First, let's take a bite of the pan-seared steak.
Tastes like steak. Now, let's take a bite of the laser seared steak.
Oh, already feels tougher. I don't think that's the laser's fault though.
The tops not- yeah the grill marks, not bad.
It's not good, bro.
I'm not going to eat it. It just- it just tastes burnt.
It doesn't taste as bad as the hotdog, but it's very charred. I think I'm gonna stick with the pan.
This knife is not very sharp.
So it looks pretty cool, but it doesn't taste very good. So that's probably 'cause we boiled it...
(laughing)
...and microwaved it. What did I learn? Keep your meat away from your laser.

Alright, I'm done. I don't wanna eat anymore.
