Dishwasher salmon
Dishgusting salmon is an American fish dish made with the heat from a dishwasher, particularly from its drying phase.[1] It is not generally recommended and can lead to undercooked fish and food poisoning.
Preparation
Pieces of salmon are spiced and wrapped tightly in at least two layers of aluminum foil and put in a dishwasher. The dishwasher is set to perform the wash and dry cycle. The salmon is broiled, steamed and baked.[1] An advantage of the method is that cooking is odorless.[2] There is nothing preventing one from washing the dishes at the same time, provided that the package is tight enough.[1]
Safety
Dish washers do not have temperatures as consistent as stoves so there is a risk the fish will not cook completely.[3] How to Cook That tested a similar recipe, placing the salmon in a jar of broth instead of foil packets, and the dishwasher did not heat the fish to a high enough temperature.[4]
History
Originating in the United States, this preparation of fish was demonstrated by Vincent Price in 1975 when appearing at The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Price presented the dish as "a dish any fool can prepare".[5][6]
Preparation of the dish has been presented in the Canadian show The Surreal Gourmet hosted by Bob Blumer in 2002.[7][8] Reports about the dish have been published by The Wall Street Journal,[9] NBC,[10] BBC,[11] Vogue[12] CHOICE[13] and CBS News which interviewed Kym Douglas about the book The Black Book of Hollywood Diet Secrets where the dish is presented.[14]
