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]

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.
