In this paper, a numerical model for the simulation of the cooking process of meat burgers and vegetarian patties by means of an IR laser beam is presented. The innovative cooking system is thought to be integrated within a 3-D printer prototype where the food sample is placed on a rotating plate. The numerical model consists of two different tools. First, a simplified 0-D model, aimed at studying the heat transfer processes between the food sample, the lower plate, and the surrounding environment. Second, a 3-D finite-volume algorithm, which is employed to simulate the tem-
