Finally. Been wondering for years why we don't have laser equipped Stryker platoons stood up

How long of a burst from the laser to sear a porterhouse steak?

Replying to Sandpaper_Pants (#965,113)

I found an estimate of 35 kJ to cook a steak, so at 50 kW theoretically 0.7 seconds. I'm not really equipped to test that but I think it wouldn't work out well in practice. I expect it'd just ablate the surface and not transfer as much energy as you want into the rest of the meat. If you could dial it down to 5 kW I'll bet it'd work.
