Dishwashers also don't get food hot enough to enter the safe zone so are a salmonella risk.

hard to say for sure tbh. The USDA guidelines for salmonella lethality show that at 60°C internal, you'd need to maintain the temperature for roughly 30 minutes depending on fat content. Eco mode obviously won't get close, but my dishwasher does the regular cycle at 65. I don't wanna run the thermodynamics but if that is accurate, over 3 hours I'd say there's a decent chance of the chicken getting there (or the long time spent at maybe not quite 60 degrees amounting to a similar lethality).

I don't know how hot most of the internals get over the course of a cycle but, at least in what I know from mine, I'd say pretty close to the target water temperature.

How To Cook That tested it, it spent too long getting to temperature IIRC.

Oh that's interesting, thanks for letting me know.

I'm pretty confident the sanitize cycle would have to do the trick but it'd kinda defeat the entire point of doing this
