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.

They cut the episodes shorter in the US to fit more ads. I haven't seen the episode in question, but the amount of cut time might be enough to remove a small segment.

Sort of, but the temperature to a large extent depends on your water supply. Also, sous-vide often means cooking at low temperature for much longer than a dishwasher cycle. If you want to get into it on the cheap and are willing to experiment, a slow cooker is another option.

Modern dishwashers have a heating element, they don't depend on an external source of heat for water. Some can use a more efficient external source to reduce heating costs, but dishwashers run a lot hotter than what comes out of the tap.

Not all of them -- my dishwasher is typically set to wash (on eco mode) at a significantly colder temperature than the taps (which are set quite hot at the boiler).

This is gross. Salmon is wasted if not eaten raw. Or you know, it's possible that different people have different tastes.

Eat only the best Salmon raw please. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diseases_and_parasites_in_salmo...

DO eat Raw Salmon!

I eat raw Salmon all the time. It's safe.

Either freeze it first (not ideal) or use Farmed Salmon that is treated for parasites. Soak it in vinegar before using if you are worried about bacteria on the outside.

I go for the farmed option and use Farmed Scottish Salmon (I'm in the UK) as it is proven to be safe for Sashimi. In fact, any EU-produced farmed Salmon is safe to eat raw.

Recipe:

When using supermarket Salmon I rummage around in the fridge looking for the freshest (far away date, firm body, not gooey, no 'leakage') and the most marbled with fat (the fattier the better in my experience). I use the large wedge-shaped steaks as the thin, flat tail-ends have too much surface area for the amount of meat. Farmed trout is also great eaten raw.

When I get it home I skin it and drop it into vinegar & salt for a few minutes (I wait until I see the skin start to whiten a little) before diluting it into a marinade (teriyaki sauce, soy-sauce, ginger, honey, …; or dill, chives, black pepper, …).

Leave for 15 mins to a day or so depending how 'cooked' you want it. If you are going to leave it over night add a little water or booze so the marinade doesn't overpower the delicate fish.

Pat dry with a kitchen roll. Slice into thin rectangular chunks with a large very sharp knife.

The European regulations linked there are out of date (2004). I linked to an article about the new ones.

“The study was included in a wider EU review of parasites in fishery products carried out by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), which confirmed the Scottish findings and led to the introduction of the EU freezing exemption for farmed fish in 2011”.

As a fan of cooking without fire, I like this.

More or less than cooking with an electric stove, which is basically the exact same type of device?

Except it uses air instead of water for conveying the heat.

This article links to nothing about safety.

It still amazes me in this day and age people still lack the ability to realise their culture is not the 'correct' one.

Many countries eat raw fish all the time and manage not to die from it.

Title is misleading. The article clearly states that you cannot add any washing solution. So you cannot clean your plates, at the same time.

If you continue to read, though:

Instead of using aluminum foil, as many websites recommend, you should put the food into airtight canning jars or food vacuum bags. Then the hot water doesn't touch the food. So you can add soap to the cycle and really clean your dishes while poaching dinner.
