One of the episodes of “Extreme Cheapskates” seems to be the genesis of this stupid trend. Lady was cooking lasagna in a dishwasher, and carrying a single light bulb from room to room to “save electricity.”

I think it got started in the’70s. My aunt cooked a turkey this way back then.

Dishwashers usually only get to 140*f . Ew.

Stupidity. Learn how to cook, it’s not that hard.
Merbowkey
That’s not cooking, that’s a health code violation

Seems like a lazy way to get hot water on something

I’m actually more mad about the pasta than the chicken breast.

Have you ever wanted to cook, but are tired of your ingredients reaching a safe temperature? Do you just not have enough salmonella and e. coli in your diet? Do you desperately want to use tide pods in your cooking without the shame and scorn that comes form just eating them straight?
Dishwasher cooking is for you! Now you can do anything you can do with a pot and your stovetop, but worse!
Morall_tach
It’s like normal cooking but worse

Stupid ragebait, isn’t it? I mean nobody really does this, do they?
You would be surprised what gets cooked in restaurants in the dishwasher. If it comes in a plastic bag and it needs to be thawed quickly (like the idiot in the previous shift forgot to pull some out to thaw), it’s going in the dishwasher.

Not going to lie I thought this was some stupid tik tok trend or something. I don’t have tiktok, I just get bits and pieces of the trends from people. My aunt recently got her door basically kicked in because of that door kicking trend.

Stupid.

I have a question. Doesn’t a crock pot do the exact same thing except only safer?
It’s basically people that don’t understand electricity costs.
Using your dishwasher to cook is not cheaper than using your stove, something specifically designed to efficiently cook.

If they sauteed it beforehand before putting it in the washer, could that work in theory?
(Theoretical question lol)

Its effectively just sousvide cooking in the most chaotic way you could do it
Doctor_Saved
It’s like pressure canning except without the pressure and boiling water part. So basically useless.

Unsafe is what it is. To properly cook it you need to throw it in the washing machine at 90°C.

Lolllll one of the 1st (maybe it was the 1st?) seasons of “Worst Cooks in America” had a guy who freaked out cuz there wasn’t a dishwasher to cook his salmon in. Lmao such a great show, RIP Anne Burrell.

You can do this with fish wrapped in til foil and it’s safe.
Never seen this though

It’s cheaper to put the chicken in an oven and boil water for pasta.

It’s a great way to get salmonella poisoning.

Don’t do this folks. You would need your dishwasher to hold a temp that would keep your food out of the “danger zone”. The danger zone makes your food a breeding ground for whatever bacteria are in the food already. This could kill you if you’re unlucky.

It doesn’t reach proper temperatures for long enough, it’s energy inefficient, and wastes water.

gross…don’t believe those seals are safe. Also, if it was actually effective, wouldn’t companies have monetized it already?

Then there’s [this 1989 not-actually-joking-it-apparently-works classic](https://www.amazon.com.au/Manifold-Destiny-Guide-Cooking-Engine/dp/1416596232) cookbook, now in its *third* updated edition..

I just listened to a [podcast](https://open.spotify.com/episode/449BcwRdrMxcS0A7TXP9zq?si=3oZwenLbRX-FZK69TIUXrw) about making dishwasher lasagna. It’s by the same people who make Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me. Highly recommend. I laughed out loud a few times.
