I can't believe this is a real article. It looks like a parody.
I mean I've cooked entire meals in the engine bay of a car before 🤷

Don't let Americans cook means you don't know about actual American food like gumbo, sausage gravy, chili, or tri tip (among dozens of other dishes). It's a sad, bland world without American food.
For real! Southern and soul food, texmex, barbecue, Cajun dishes, pizza (Italians can get bent on pizza, we perfected that shit), Mac and cheese, lobster rolls, MOTHERFUCKING CHILLI, chocolate chip cookies, buffalo wings, New York style cheesecake, the majority of the good deli sandwiches, even hamburgers! As much as people shit on hamburgers, that shit slaps. Hell, we even invented the grilled cheese. I fucking hate america but the one thing I'm unapologetically proud of is our food. Don't let Americans cook? Eat a po boy and shut the hell up

Redneck sous vide.
An older guy said sometimes people would season and bag steaks and keep them submerged in hot tubs in the 80s.
I seen this episode of Everyone Loves Raymond. Except it was clearly a mistake.
In case it isn’t obvious to everyone, the salmon wouldn’t be up to temp. It might look “cooked” but its internal temperature physically cannot rise high enough to kill all of the microbes dwelling within. Before putting it in the dishwasher, I recommend poaching it in a vinegar solution to dissuade anyone from eating it.
People eat salmon raw all the time, as well as "undercook" it. Salmon really shouldnt get above ~125f, it's super delicate and overcooking ruins the texture. Run a hot rinse and dry cycle and I have no doubts it would be cooked through, if not overcooked.

I’m imagining the shits the dishwasher detergent residues give you would be brutal
You just reminded me that the tide pod challenge existed. What a terrifically stupid way to die
If it's held at a slightly lower temp for longer it can achieve the same bacterial reduction the 145F the usda recommends, its the instant bacterial death time. Inctheory if held at temp for long enough it would be safe to eat. It's still a stupid method but technically viable.
You’d need to wash it at least twice, maybe three times. But then it loses its only advantage, ambient cooking with your dishes, and gains a disadvantage, running your dishwasher twice or thrice to clean off the fresh fish biome that has seeped out onto the dishes below your fish
Oh yeah I'm saying it's technically viable, not that it's actually any good. Also if the fish is wrapped properly then it shouldn't be leaking fish juices onto the plates.
I’ve lost my faith in humanity, so I wanted to make it perfectly clear why one should avoid doing this. Just a touch of childproofing, I wasn’t trying to disagree with you
This was a viral clickbait thing a few years ago. It only existed on twitter and Facebook and Instagram and thankfully I haven't seen it turn up again any time recently lol no one actually cooks like this, even here in America
Well, there's also this.
I believe Maytag once ran a commercial back in the '60s or '70s or something that implied you could cook a turkey in their dishwasher as well, boasting how powerful their heating element was for the dry cycle.
I should also point out at this juncture that an awful lot of dishwashers these days including almost all import brands (Bosch in particular, also LG, Samsung, Asko, Miele, Smeg, etc.) are "condenser dry" machines and don't have the heating element for drying anymore. You're unlikely to cook anything satisfactorily in one of those. You could hope for the wash water being hot enough to do it, but I'm not playing any bets. Maybe you ought to select the sanitize rinse option...
I'm assuming dishwashers have their own water heater (if at all) since you typically only connect to the cold supply line? And they can't be that powerful as they are fed from a regular 120v line and only draw maybe 7-10 amps, which includes the jet pump.
Edit: I assumed wrong
All modern dishwashers do indeed have some type of water heater. Not all of them have a drying heating element anymore, since excising that was the quickest way to massively reduce the total per-cycle energy consumption regardless of all other factors. IIRC by something like around 60%.
Additionally, American (unlike many European) dishwashers are almost without exception designed to be connected to a hot water line rather than cold; Typically your home's water heater is more efficient (or at least superficially cheaper, given that so many homes still have goddamn gas fired water heaters) at heating water than the dishwasher itself is, and certainly faster since the majority of homes have a storage tank heater that can be expected to already be full of hot water. The less heating the dishwasher has to do to the water the better its energy consumption rating will appear, which the manufacturers love. (Offloading the energy requirement for heating the water to your central water heater also shifts the cost/blame to the water heater and away from the dishwasher, allowing them to put a smaller number on that yellow Energy Guide label, even if taken from the big picture view this is prima facie bogus.)
Just checked my DW and yup, sure enough, it is connected to the hot line. I was thinking of the refer line. I'll be honest I never really put much thought into it and now I feel silly.
I actually am American lol. I'm an electrician by trade, so I was thinking more in terms of the equipment on board of the DW itself, but this is much more logical now that I think about it. I let plumbers do their thing and avoid installing/servicing appliances for customers (although I did just pull a 24" hair snake out of my shower drain this morning, smelled wonderful).
If you were going for low and slow, you could pipe in melted butter and have a self basting semi sous vide thing going.
This was a fad in the early 1990s. I know a few people who tried it. I don’t know anyone who did it twice as it tends to require you to clean your dishwasher before and afterwards.
It was on an episode of Home Improvement. Not sure if the show started it or if it was just referencing the existing fad.
lPossibly referencing the fad depending on how early it aired. The show was on before I learned about dishwasher salmon.
Finally some culinary representation.
Do not let the americans cook.
Are you telling me that nation that made super popular show about cooking doesn’t know how cook?
A serving of green bean casserole
Bone ape tit bro
DO NOT DISRESPECT MY GREEN BEAN CASSEROLE
how to substitute the cum glazing in the recepie? i don't have any
Are you so deprived you don’t know what cream of mushroom soup looks like?
I'll be right over.
You can pass that my way if you're not going to eat it, easily my favorite thanksgiving side dish.
Yeah I'm just gonna say it, that looks fucking delicious, S-tier side dish
It is fucking delicious. And easy as shit to make too. It's got like 4 ingredients and takes 30 mins start to finish. My family used to eat this a lot when i was growing up because we were poor and busy and this is cheap and easy. But its one of the "poor people" foods im most nostalgic about
Ingredients
- 1 can of cream of mushroom
- 1/2 milk
- 4 cups green beans (they don't have to be fresh, canned or frozen can work too)
- French Onions
Cooking
- Mix everything into a pan (except the onions) and cook at 350f for 25 mins
- Sprinkle French Onions on top
- Cook for another 5 minutes
If you want to get really fancy you can sprinkle some shredded cheese on top after it cooks (I like Parmesan (but only the saw dust stuff in the tube), or sharp cheddar). It also makes great leftovers because it microwaves really well, and can be frozen and thawed with no issue.
For non-unitedstatesians: “French Onions” does not refer to the nationalty of the alliums, or the manner in which they’re cooked. It is a specific product:
