Cook fishes in your... dishwasher?

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Have no fear, I don't do fish either.

Step#2

Add dirty dishes and lemon-scented "soap". This optional step is not recommended for novices. However, as long as the salmon's tightly sealed in its aluminum foil packet, it won't absorb any soapy taste or smell.

No.
Sorry.
Kinda gross to me.

Why don't we just cool pasta in the toilet after having boiled it, while we are at it. Why waste water?
 
Granted I'm not a chef or food safety expert, but I NEVER would attempt to cook food in a dishwasher. There's too much variation in machines and cycles to insure proper temperatures are reached.

</b><blockquote>le secret Make sure other items in the dishwasher, such as silverware, are securely stowed so they don't fly around and pierce the foil packets.</blockquote><b>
Uhhh, what dishwasher nowadays has enough fire-power to toss silverware? (Except my DishDrawer did one time blow a plastic fork out of the basket.)

*LOL* my 4 y.o. KA (a la WP) can barely shoot water into the corner of the top rack to clean a drinking glass. It does, however liek to live sandy sticky grit inside. *YUCKERS* YIBLETS, as it were.

I ran the machine with the door open and barely got the floor wet. My face was totally dry. oh please.

CAR? LOL can you picture the aluminum foil making electrical contact with, say, the spark plug wires.
 
Well, I say let the people who want to cook fish in their dishwasher and meatloaf on their car engines have at it; I for one, will continue to use my range for cooking, thank you.

Furthermore, I think your meal should come with a written disclaimer if you've prepared it either in your DW or atop your car engine, LOL.
 
Interview Magazine had an article years ago about cooking with non-traditional appliances. The fish in the dishwasher was there, but there was also some method of making potato salad in the dryer (I guess cooking the spuds on the sweater rack--I don't remember) and making oatmeal with an electric blanket.

Hey, if you can dry your hair with a vacuum cleaner...

Oh my god, I can't imagine making potato salad in the dryer. Potato salad is almost always made with boiled potatoes, not baked. I wonder how many hours it would take to bake potatoes on a stationary rack in the dryer? It takes almost an hour-and-a-half at 300 degrees in the oven!
 
I make oatmeal

in the slow cooker, and it comes out nicely, as long as it's "old fashioned" oats. (I just use the proportions on the box, and set it up just before bed. Steel-cut oats are best this way, I think.)

Baked potatoes in potato salad can be quite nice, though I bake them at a standard 400F.

As for dishwashered fish, no thank you. Broiled, microwaved, or deep-fried here, please.

Wouldn't the dishwasher detergent "eat Thru" the foil wrappers?Most packages of dishwasher detergents caution you about exposing aluminum to the detergent-it can etch or eat the metal.I also didn't think the dishwasher got hot enough for cooking unless the item is very close to the heat element.Wonder how long it would take something to cookor--"cremate" on the red hot exhaust manifolds of our station generator?Don't want to try-think it would get TOO hot.Never tried "manifold" cooking.Saw a cookbook on it once.Think I will cook the fish the oven way.You can control the heat better,no soap or detergent worries.Use the machine for its intended purpose?
 
being a chef i often wonder

if a dishwasher could have a salad/ vegetable rinse feature. Would save loads of messing rinsing lettuce tomatoes and stuff. I hate cleaning the sink of little shreds of lettuce. Maybe even some feature to wash dirt and mud off homegrown potatoes carrots and leeks etc. I dont recommend cooking fish or anything. In a dishwasher. Although you could also theoretically boil an egg in a euro machine on a 70.c wash. It would just set the white and produce a runny yolk 14 mins after target heat achieved. Mmm who wants soldiers too?
 
When I was a waier

We would wash the potatoes in the dishwasher BEFORE we would bake them.It did cook them a little, Never would we put soap in there and never would we put dishes in the same program. it sounds really gross to put fish in with the dirty dishes.My old Hobart Kitchen Aid would probibly pass out on the floor from the fish trama,we can't have that!!!i will stick with my cookie sheet, aluminum foil and my Oven. :)
