"I was kind of &amp;quot;what the huh?&amp;quot; when I saw a recipe for Dishwasher Poached Salmon on The Skinny Chef the other day... but tell me what you think! All it takes is aluminum foil, a piece of fish, a few drizzles of olive oil, some herbs, and... your dishwasher. After you put the fish, oil, and herbs in foil--which you fold very tightly at the edges in order to protect the fish from the dishwasher (or your dishwasher from the fish, really)--you toss the package in the dishwasher and let it cook for a cycle. Some people say it&amp;#x27;s totally fine to cook the fish at the same time you&amp;#x27;re cleaning dishes--soap and all--and that that&amp;#x27;s actually a benefit of the whole thing. It&amp;#x27;s environmentally friendly and saves you some pennies on the electricity bill. Skinny Chef suggests not having dishes or soap in the mix. I didn&amp;#x27;t cook salmon--instead, I went for a veggie medley (broccoli, peppers, carrots, all that good stuff) and put it through a shorter cycle, sans soap or dishes. Which maybe defeats the purpose a little bit? I just didn&amp;#x27;t like the idea of soap or little pieces of gunk from dirty dishes seeping into the package, or miniscule broccoli florets escaping and going all over everything. The result? Hot, well-cooked, tasty veggies! The process wasn&amp;#x27;t that much simpler than steaming them, though. Still, my family was impressed. What do you think: do or don&amp;#x27;t? Have you ever tried the dishwasher method?
