Do you think it would be possible to cook a steak in your dishwasher?
It turns out that many people would. The appliance is used most frequently for cleaning plates and glasses while cooking.
You can cook meats, such as steak, salmon, or other protein, in an oven-safe bag and then put it in the dishwasher. This is another variation of sous vide, a French method of cooking that involves vacuum sealing food.
Chef Michelle Doll showed Inside Edition how it’s done.
“Since it’s in these waterproof bags, it’s not gonna get any water in it, so it’s only gonna cook in its own juices and really concentrate the flavor,”Doll:
Doll continued explaining. “It gets so hot for such a long period of time. Most dishwashers cycles last an hour and half, two hours, and at that temperature for that amount of time, we are going to get the most perfectly cooked steak!”
Actually, your entire meal can be prepared in the dishwasher.
“We have carrots, apple compote, broiled shrimp, potatoes, asparagus… and a steak!”Doll:
Les Trent, Inside Edition Senior Correspondent, tried the meal.
His opinion? “This is so good!”He stated.
You can also use a Ziplock bag if you don’t own a vacuum sealer but still want to try this method. You can see more details in the video.
