Answer 1

Nope you can actually cook fish in a dishwater.

Answer 2

Yes! You can--- a recipe from a website (I've tried it, it's good)

The Instruction Manual

Seal individual-size fillets in aluminum foil. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO COOK A WHOLE FISH.


Place fish packets on the top rack.


Add dirty dishes and lemon-scented soap. This optional step is not recommended for novices. However, as long as the salmon is tightly sealed in the aluminum foil, it will not absorb any soapy taste or smell.


Set the dishwasher to the "normal" cycle. Modern dishwashers have "economy" and "cool dry" settings, which are undesirable because they conserve heat. However, on the other end of the spectrum, the "pots and pans" setting tends to overcook the fish.


Run salmon through the entire wash-and-dry cycle—approximately 50 minutes for most models. I have poached salmon in almost every make and model, and although the temperatures and duration of the cycles vary with each machine, a little more or less "washing" will not affect it greatly because salmon is extremely forgiving.


To heighten the drama for your disbelieving guests—and to prove that you have nothing up your sleeve—let them crowd around the dishwasher when you load the salmon. When the cycle is complete, invite them back to witness the unloading.


Troubleshoot. The only time I ever had a problem was on live national TV. Five minutes before going on the air I learned that the heating element in the on-camera dishwasher was broken. After a quick huddle with the producer, I was forced to make the most of the situation by baking the salmon in the (gasp!) oven. To avoid this pedestrian fate, ask yourself the million-dollar question: When your dishwasher last completed its cycle, were the dishes hot? As long as the answer is yes, you are ready to poach.

Answer 3

I've seen it done but it is nothing more than steamed fish. Wrap small fillets in foil with seasoning and place in a zipper bag. put in the dishwasher WITHOUT soap or rinse aids and run. It should steam it.

Answer 4

Wrap in foil with sliced lemons and a few herbs. upload to dishwashers top rack while it is composed of the DRY CYCLE. Cycle is over in 20-half-hour and fish is performed. do no longer upload at start up

Answer 5

They are not pulling your leg. My cousin is a professional chef and he did cook a fish for us that way one night. I agree that I would perfer to use the oven or grill, but yes, it can and has been done.

Answer 6

They are correct! You can cook fish in the dishwasher and cook a potatoe on the Intake manifold of your car, but why.

Answer 7

Well I would think so, but then again, stranger ways of cooking fish occured to people so until you try it, who knows for sure?

Answer 8

put it in foil then wrap it in a zip lock baggie
and then just do you regular dish washing load and when the dishes are done so is your fish
try
what do you have to lose..
a little bit of spices and some fish
it is fun and it works
tow birds one stone theory..

good luck
smile

Answer 9

Are you so naive that you have to ask if they are pulling your leg? Did you know that Stevie Wonder has a pilot's license? LOL

Answer 10

I saw it done on a show on the Food Network, it was quite cool.
