Also consider cooking with your car: http://www.wikihow.com/Cook-Food-on-Your-Car%27s-Engine http://www.amazon.com/Manifold-Destiny-Guide-Cooking-Engine/...

Mythbusters also tried it (with the help of Alton Brown) in their "Surreal Gourmet Hour" episode ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqABijWMlxA ). Incidentally, that episode also had a bit on cooking with a dishwasher but it was cut ( http://mentalfloss.com/article/13132/mythbustersalton-brown-... ).

Interesting, I watched that episode in the UK and both the cooking on the car and cooking with the dishwasher parts were in there.

This is gross. Cooking salmon is all about the crispy skin. Without that, you should just eat canned salmon. Salmon is the easiest fish to cook. Put the oven on broil, burn the shit out of the fish on the skin side with a bit of oil in a pan, then put it in the oven. The top and bottom will be crusty, and it will be perfect. If you want the canned salmon taste, put it is the dishwasher. Then again, you could just eat…

This is gross. Salmon is wasted if not eaten raw.

Or you know, it's possible that different people have different tastes.

It's about personal taste, you are entitled to your opinion, however salmon can be prepared in many different ways.

Not all salmon is of same grade. Only highest grade can be eaten raw. Unless you buy "sushi-ready" salmon I'd not advise raw salmon.

I cooked a few burgers on the engine block of my 1983 Toyota Tercel back in the day.

On my current car it's got so many plastic enclosures all over it that I can't find a hot area for my burger action. A real shame. This skill seems to be almost magical when I tell people about it :)

It would appear you don't really know what you're talking about. While crispy skin is great, the flesh of sous-vide fish, and esp. salmon, is extraordinary.

The way to do it properly is to cut off the flesh from the skin, cook the flesh sous-vide (either in the dishwasher, in a sous-vide circulator if you have one (I guess not) or in a pan of hot water while watching the temperature), burn "the shit out" of the skin, and serve both flesh and skin, skin on top of fish for better presentation.

Please give it a try.
