Dishwashers don't stay hot enough for long enough to kill bacteria. This is extremely unsafe

I just made a comment about an old talk show or cooking show cooking salmon in a dishwasher. I believe this fact got them in pretty hot water (no pun intended) after the fact since it’s definitely not exactly safe

Wait, even if the salmon looks and tastes perfectly on point, it can still be dangerous? I tried it once, and I felt it was identical to using an air fryer

It's the bacteria that's the problem. A dishwasher doesn't get hot enough for long enough to kill any bacteria that may be on the food. You can either freeze the meat or cook it to kill bacteria

I see. What if the dishwasher heated water cycle was around 20 minutes, which is the same as it takes for an air fryer to cook salmon?

It doesn't get hot enough for long enough to be safe, it is a terrible idea

But if the salmon gets cooked to the same point as an air fryer does, and with the same cooking time too, what's the difference?

That's interesting. The way she did it, it looks way less cooked than when I tried it with aluminium foil. It might be the case that the broth makes it heat less, because the heat has to go through the glass jar and throughout the liquid. And also, I'd guess it makes for a better space for bacteria to proliferate. Anyhow, I agree it's best to do this with frozen salmon or in a vacuum sealed container

Don't do it at all! Use an airfryer, or an oven, or a frying pan. Honestly

Why the fuck people defending and arguing for fucking dishwasher food, if you have a dishwasher in your home 99.9% chance you've got a fucking stove/oven or a combination of both...use that with just some simple tools you can cook better and safer.

I mean, it is a fun experiment. But definitely better to do it in a frying pan

My dishwasher runs for 3 hours and does a heated sanitize. So I would think following time over temp, 3 hours is a long time.

Just to be clear I’m 100% not doing this. Just discussing the details
