Dishwasher salmon is a fish dish made by a cooking technique where salmon is wrapped in aluminum foil and placed in a dishwasher for a full cycle. Dishwasher companies and Consumer Reports have identified potential issues, including inconsistent temperatures and the risk of food poisoning.
Dishwasher companies and Consumer Reports have recommended against cooking fish with a dishwasher because dishwashers are not designed or tested for cooking, dishwashers do not have temperatures as consistent as stoves, and it is questionable whether dishwashers will heat fish sufficiently to kill pathogens. Eating fish cooked in a dishwasher may result in food poisoning. [1] [2]
Pieces of salmon are spiced and wrapped tightly in at least two layers of aluminum foil and put in a dishwasher. The dishwasher is set to perform a full regular cycle, possibly with the addition of a heated dry cycle. The salmon is broiled, steamed, and baked. [3] [4] An advantage of the method is that cooking is odorless. [4] There is nothing preventing one from washing the dishes at the same time, provided that the package is tight enough. [3]
Vincent Price demonstrated how to prepare a trout in a dishwasher on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in 1975. Price presented it as "a dish any fool can prepare". [5] [6] The Canadian cooking program The Surreal Gourmet , hosted by Bob Blumer, also featured the preparation of this dish in 2002. [7] [8] The Wall Street Journal , [2] MSNBC, [9] BBC, [10] Vogue [11] and CHOICE [12] have all published reports about the dish and CBS News which interviewed Kym Douglas about the book The Black Book of Hollywood Diet Secrets where the dish is presented. [13] Tom Scott noted that his dishwasher salmon was "perfect". [14]
Chowder is a thick soup prepared with milk or cream, a roux, and seafood or vegetables. Oyster crackers or saltines may accompany chowders as a side item, and cracker pieces may be dropped atop the dish.

Other common chowders include seafood chowder, which often consists of fish, clams, and other types of shellfish; lamb or veal chowder made with barley; corn chowder, which uses corn instead of clams; various fish chowders; and potato chowder, which is often made with cheese. Fish, corn, and clam chowders are popular in North America, especially Atlantic Canada and New England.

Cornmeal is a meal ground from dried corn (maize). It is a common staple food and is ground to coarse, medium, and fine consistencies, but it is not as fine as wheat flour can be. In Mexico and Louisiana, very finely ground cornmeal is referred to as corn flour. When fine cornmeal is made from maize that has been soaked in an alkaline solution, e.g., limewater, it is called masa harina, which is used for making arepas, tamales, and tortillas. Boiled cornmeal is called polenta in Italy and is also a traditional dish and bread substitute in Romania.

It has become a staple of Indian-Chinese cuisine and whilst largely unknown in China, it has become popular in India.
The idea of drinking whisky with food is considered outré by many, but there is a growing interest in pairing whiskies with complementary foods. The Scotch whisky industry has been keen to promote this. Single malts, pot-still whiskies, bourbons, and rye whiskies offer an interesting range of tastes and aromas, which are just as varied as wine. Jake Wallis Simons compares whiskies in bourbon casks to white wines, due to their lighter flavor, and those in sherry casks to red wines, with their greater fruitiness. A few Scottish cook books contain reference to the use of whisky in cooking, and a few traditional Scottish recipes that use whisky exist.

The fish is cut into pieces and marinated in a turmeric-based sauce, which often includes shrimp paste or fish sauce, ginger, and chili peppers. Sometimes, saffron is used instead of turmeric. It is then lightly grilled over charcoal. The dish is served in a hot pan coated with marinade sauce and herbs, particularly dill. Other herbs, such as scallions or basil, may be included. It is eaten with vermicelli rice noodles and peanuts. Cha Ca La Vong is considered a delicacy in Vietnam, as it is nearly exclusively served in restaurants and is not found in street food.
