Just a few years ago, I saw an online demo of a plasma scalpel. I tried to watch through the whole thing (I get queezy looking at human fleshiness) but I got the gyst of it. A scalpel is aided by plasma to easily sever through skin, fat and muscle. Why not use this in the culinary arts? When carving a leg i'm sure it would be useful to have the extra speed and sharpness as something like this would provide.-- twitch, Sep 20 2010 Waits and watches until [twitch] forgets his manners and eats a sliver of turkey off the blade of his "knife".-- infidel, Sep 21 2010 random, halfbakery
