I see your Dishwasher Salmon and raise you one Manifold Burrito. https://www.motortrend.com/features/1409-cooking-on-your-eng...

You know, I forget about this article and stumble across it again every few years. It's always a delight to re-read.

I don't know why, but it always brings me back to the memory of my first Mission burrito, years ago — learning the secret menu words [1]; unwrapping our delicious meals as we talked [2]; talking about this startup or that startup, and what we were all going to build... those were simpler times, and we were still young and full of dreams.

[1] Slide up to the counter when it's a little less busy, ask for your burrito dorado, and prepare to have your mind blown.

[2] I remember ours was one of just a few tables that evening. The night was winding down, everyone huddled over their burritos, and the cool breeze drifted through the open storefront. It was like our own SF version of Edward Hopper's Nighthawks. Of course, this was way back in the day when the taquerias sometimes wouldn't have a line at all, if you knew the right time to drop in and order.

There’s an awesome cookbook on this topic, Manifold Destiny: https://books.google.com/books/about/Manifold_Destiny.html?i... I played around with the idea with my first Jeep Wrangler, a burly car with a perfectly exposed engine block. Never cooked anything, but I was endlessly entertained by the idea that I might. I suppose the transition to EVs will steal this particular daydream from my kids…

Upside is many EVs have 120v AC outlets so a portable induction plate is an easy add. It's actually an option for the Rivian truck in the pull out kitchen.

Car engines are another non-traditional source of heat for cooking: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_cooking As with dishwasher cooking, the food is wrapped in aluminum foil.

The Red Green Show did comedy segments on both these concepts: Turkey in a dishwasher: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5Y4RV8pcY0 Turkey in a car: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niegc7QcilM

I never understood how PBS could run a show that funny.

My father was a construction worker, running his own crew and company, and often worked with hot mix asphalt. He is also a recreational fisherman. He would catch a salmon, filet it, wrap it tightly with butter, aromatics and lemons in several layers of tin foil, and bury it in the middle of the truck full of hot mix asphalt. When they reached the fish, it was time for lunch.

The tin foil doesn't break?

You have to kill the opossum first, otherwise yes, it will rip the aluminum.

I know people who were doing this with Arctic Char up in Inuvik in 1973. Make sure you wrap it properly or you end up with a hell of a mess.

>Make sure you wrap it properly or you end up with a hell of a mess

This. It can turn disastrous when not done properly. My aunt attempted to make a family dinner this way back in the 90s, and aside from being inedible, it also made the dishwasher unusable.

I wouldn't worry about it - you can eat it raw after all and the cook time isnt long enough for it to make you sick (due to food borne illness from being in the temperature danger zone. Side note - sous vide steelhead is incredible, thinner pieces in my experience work out noticeably better

I think you’ll likely get tapeworms: https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/real-life/woman-who-...

>Raw salmon is a known source of parasites and in particular tapeworm, which can develop from bacteria and grow up to 39 feet long

Tapeworms do not develop from bacteria.

I don’t mean to be an ass, but in no way is a sous vide fundamentally the same concept as a dishwasher. There is no precision to the temperature or time control of a dishwasher, and there’s no dry cycle on a sous vide.

Sous vide is fundamentally about sealing food and cooking it in water. I wouldn't say the precision temperature control is the central part of the concept.

Its about temperature control and efficient thermal transfer; vacuum sealing and using a circulating, temperature controlled water bath are mechanisms of achieving that.

This is awesome.

Less dramatically, when I lived in Germany, where I had radiators for heat, I stored baby bottles of water on top of the kitchen radiator. It kept the water the perfect temperature for my infant with zero risk of it being too hot, so zero risk of scalding. All I had to do was add powdered formula when he got hungry.
