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

Yea no ones doing this
to be fair a teacher at my elementary school in the mid '00s told my mom that she does this, I remember it distinctly
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.
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...
If you were going for low and slow, you could pipe in melted butter and have a self basting semi sous vide thing going.

Redneck sous vide.
An older guy said sometimes people would season and bag steaks and keep them submerged in hot tubs in the 80s.
Do not let the americans cook.
A serving of green bean casserole
Bone ape tit bro
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:

We let the dishwashers do it for us
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 🤷

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.

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.

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
It is true. There is amazing food in the US.

Oh good, now I can stop using the top of my good ol' 1970s TV. As a bonus, maybe my wife will stop mentioning the smell.

Can I also cook Salmon in the dryer?
No, it will get beat up. If it's a tumbler anyway..
Nah, I don't have a smart dryer so there's no way it's on Tumblr.
you need to use that weird rack that snaps into the middle.
