Good chefs will always tell you: Use the right knife for the right job. Can we not simply use our kitchen appliances and tools for what they were designed for? The author suggests (and I&#x27;m inclined to agree) that using a dishwasher to poach salmon is a fairly wasteful use of electricity and water. If you want poached salmon, get out a pot and some water. If you&#x27;re really particular you could buy a cheap thermometer to poach at whatever temperature you choose, and I&#x27;d be willing to bet you&#x27;d get more consistent results than using a large machine designed to clean plates. I&#x27;m all for new techniques and ideas in the kitchen, but this is a fad that should not and will not stick around for long.

Could this be considered a derivative of Sous-vide[0]? That is, the mason jar technique is cooking in an air-tight container and temperature is at least somewhat regulated by the dishwasher. Have I had access to a cheap sous-vide machine this whole time!?<p>[0]<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sous-vide" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Sous-vide</a>

Be very careful when cooking with plastics, there are dangers in the sous vide technique if the wrong kind of bag is used.<p><a href="http://www.yourdoctorsorders.com/2012/12/sous-vide-and-plastics/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.yourdoctorsorders.com&#x2F;2012&#x2F;12&#x2F;sous-vide-and-plast...</a>

Did anyone watch the Mythbusters episode where Alton Brown cooked a lasagne in the dishwasher?<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IaT90jhuB0" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=7IaT90jhuB0</a>

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.<p>If you want the canned salmon taste, put it is the dishwasher. Then again, you could just eat warmed canned salmon.

There&#x27;s a swedish blog (and book) about alternative cooking devices such as hair-straighteners, dishwashers and coffee makers.<p><a href="http://kaffekokarkokboken.blogg.se/2013/july/alternative-cooking-devices.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;kaffekokarkokboken.blogg.se&#x2F;2013&#x2F;july&#x2F;alternative-coo...</a>

I worked in two different restaurants in the early 90s where this was the method used to bake potatoes. I have no idea if it was ever common.

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

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