Can you cook salmon in a dishwasher?

Unless those items are in the dishwasher, off topic :rofl:

You could of course start a new topic ‘Creative Ways to Cook Salmon’ but might need to broaden it to ‘Fish’ or even ‘Food’ :wink:

Yes, I offer my humble apologies to all and @ajohnson for taking such a large portion of her dish washer safe cooked salmon. :worried:

Enjoy your fish every one. :blush:

P.S. It was just so appetising. :yum:

First up why have you got a dishwasher,. Second what are you smoking to even think about doing that?

Thanks to everyone who humoured me. There are some great answers here and I really enjoyed the other alternative cooking suggestions (that now have their own thread) :clap:
Our whitegoods specialist, @airedale actually applied his scientific approach to this strange question and wrote up a full article explaining how (and why) you can cook a salmon dinner in your dishwasher. It includes video footage and a recipe, so be sure to check it out.
Here’s the final result:

I’m awarding BS Buster badges to @gordon, @PhilT, @mark_m and @syncretic for their thorough research and reasoning. Nice work!

Andrea, appreciate the badge, thank you.

Intersting that rice and spinach in the dish washer was not a stretch too far. We have a similar model Miele. It’s tempting for a surprise dinner, perhaps with a different fish that can take a longer cook?

Might be best to start with plenty of wine to be sure!

Thanks Andrea :slight_smile:
I was going to try it on my trout, but after grabbing one from the freezer, discovered there was barely enough space, so cooked it on the BBQ as usual :wink:

You’re welcome. Maybe something bigger, like a whole fish would cook perfectly? Just think how many mouths you could feed cooking in the dishwasher - dinner party made easy :wink:

Wow! That trout is absolutely huge. The BBQ sounds like the sensible route - hope it was delicious.

I have been advised by a US chef (mate) who spent decades doing a regional TV cooking show to avoid using rinse aid as it can leave a bad aftertaste.

Do you mean on the salmon or on the dishes?

When cooking in the dishwasher.

Who needs a dishwasher?

Turns out salmon isn’t the only odd thing you can put in your dishwasher:

Can you? Apparently so. Should you? If you believe in trying everything once, maybe. Otherwise… inconceivable!
