Wed, 11 Jan 2012 02:50:36 +0000 http://blogs.smithsonianmag.com/food/?p=8252#comment-14801 My experiments with aluminum foil and dishwasher detergent do not have very positive outcomes... The dishwasher detergent eats through the aluminum foil in a matter of minutes. I first realized this after taking an aluminum pie plate out of the dishwasher only to find out that it had holes in the bottom of it. So if I were to try this, which i honestly do want to now, I would not have detergent in there at the same time.

This does sound like a good idea to me and I may have to give it a go at some point.

I worked out OK, but nothing special. As a note to Ken, canned Sweet Sue chicken & dumplings heat up nicely between the cylinder heads of an old Harley. Be sure to vent the can though.

Consistently tender and flaky and NO STINKING UP THE HOUSE! Never had the wrapping penetrated. I guess we have been reasonably careful. Try it. You will like it! We do it regularly.

I'm glad you did it. But I don't see the advantage, 1. It takes 4 times as long to cook the salmon in the dishwasher as it does in a microwave or grill or oven. Plus you have control of the cooking (OK I'm a control freak). 2. If you do it with the soap and dishes and the packet breaks, you are out of luck. Interesting experiment. I’m glad you did it.

But I did read, after the fact, that you can! You would just tightly wrap them (and some butter and seasonings) in two layers of foil, as I did with the salmon. The reviews are mixed. I guess sometimes they don't soften that well. But it probably just depends on the length and temperature of your dishwasher's cycle. Jeff, I didn’t poach the veggies.

I remember hearing about this technique 30 years ago while visiting a family friend in Bethesda. She, however, emphasized that you must not add dishes or soap. Good to know you can "kill two birds with one stone" though! Funny how things go in cycles! I remember hearing about this technique 30 years ago while visiting a family friend in Bethesda.

Thanks for the report on this experiment. I have a request. Would you be willing to try cooking dinner on your car engine while on a trip? I do see a real advantage to doing that one.
