Salmon in a Dishwasher

http://www.tomscott.com - The idea of poaching salmon in a dishwasher has been around for a long time. Bob Blumer, the Surreal Gourmet, claims to have poached salmon in more than 100 dishwashers on 3 continents, and actor and gourmet cook Vincent Price is said to have once cooked it on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show. But there's no video evidence of it online yet, so I figured it was worth a try.

"Washing Machine Cookery" should get uploaded in a few minutes - I'm currently mass-uploading a lot of my videos - and... well, no. No it doesn't.

I came across your video, purely by accident. Yes, Vincent Price REALLY DID cook fish in a dishwasher on the Tonite show with Johnny Carson. I remember it as being a trout fish rather than salmon. If memory serves me correctly, the year of that Vincent Price appearance was 1976. I remember Vincent warning Johnny to only use the WASH cycle and never the DRY cycle. My experiments with such a poaching method proved him right.

For safety reasons, it's probably best to not put any kind of detergent or soap at all... just the water.

@i8246i im pretty sure he didnt do it to see if it was possible, most likely he did it because its hilarious. see end of video.

Is it really necessary to poach it with a load of dirty dishes and detergent? I should think you could wait until after the salmon was poached before you washed the dishes.

Shouldn't there be wine in there, somewhere??

[LucyInDahSky]

why add the detergent

[Yyyyzyyy]

Salmon is nasty.
