    This was a viral clickbait thing a few years ago. It only existed on twitter and Facebook and Instagram and thankfully I haven’t seen it turn up again any time recently lol no one actually cooks like this, even here in America

      This was a fad in the early 1990s. I know a few people who tried it. I don’t know anyone who did it twice as it tends to require you to clean your dishwasher before and afterwards.

        It was on an episode of Home Improvement. Not sure if the show started it or if it was just referencing the existing fad.

      Well, there’s also this.

      I believe Maytag once ran a commercial back in the '60s or '70s or something that implied you could cook a turkey in their dishwasher as well, boasting how powerful their heating element was for the dry cycle.

      I should also point out at this juncture that an awful lot of dishwashers these days including almost all import brands (Bosch in particular, also LG, Samsung, Asko, Miele, Smeg, etc.) are “condenser dry” machines and don’t have the heating element for drying anymore. You’re unlikely to cook anything satisfactorily in one of those. You could hope for the wash water being hot enough to do it, but I’m not playing any bets. Maybe you ought to select the sanitize rinse option…

        If you were going for low and slow, you could pipe in melted butter and have a self basting semi sous vide thing going.

        I’m assuming dishwashers have their own water heater (if at all) since you typically only connect to the cold supply line? And they can’t be that powerful as they are fed from a regular 120v line and only draw maybe 7-10 amps, which includes the jet pump.

      I understand that you are probably living in a big city, but holy shit you actually believe Americans don’t own dishwashers?

      I would really like to know your line of reasoning on that.

      • melpomenesclevage@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

        I said it elsewhere in this thread. I haven’t known somebody with a dishwasher, outside bourgoise suburbs, in a while.

    In case it isn’t obvious to everyone, the salmon wouldn’t be up to temp. It might look “cooked” but its internal temperature physically cannot rise high enough to kill all of the microbes dwelling within, if you cook it in a dishwasher. Before putting it in the dishwasher, I recommend poaching it in a vinegar solution to dissuade anyone from eating it.

    source
    • BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      People eat salmon raw all the time, as well as “undercook” it. Salmon really shouldnt get above ~125f, it’s super delicate and overcooking ruins the texture. Run a hot rinse and dry cycle and I have no doubts it would be cooked through, if not overcooked.

      source
      • Gullible@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

        If you’re referring to sushi, it’s usually flash frozen. Only times I’ve seen raw raw salmon was in Thailand and Hawaii.

        And it’s less to do with it being cooked through and more about the temperature being too low for a proper cook, leading to a bacterial bloom in a 50 degree paradise.

      If it’s held at a slightly lower temp for longer it can achieve the same bacterial reduction the 145F the usda recommends, its the instant bacterial death time.

        You’d need to wash it at least twice, maybe three times. But then it loses its only advantage, ambient cooking with your dishes, and gains a disadvantage, running your dishwasher twice or thrice to clean off the fresh fish biome that has seeped out onto the dishes below your fish

    Don’t let Americans cook means you don’t know about actual American food like gumbo, sausage gravy, chili, or tri tip (among dozens of other dishes). It’s a sad, bland world without American food.

    source
    • BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      For real! Southern and soul food, texmex, barbecue, Cajun dishes, pizza (Italians can get bent on pizza, we perfected that shit), Mac and cheese, lobster rolls, MOTHERFUCKING CHILLI, chocolate chip cookies, buffalo wings, New York style cheesecake, the majority of the good deli sandwiches, even hamburgers! As much as people shit on hamburgers, that shit slaps. Hell, we even invented the grilled cheese. I fucking hate america but the one thing I’m unapologetically proud of is our food. Don’t let Americans cook? Eat a po boy and shut the hell up

        American cooking is awesome, just stay away from the fair-food and fast food.
