    This was a viral clickbait thing a few years ago. It only existed on twitter and Facebook and Instagram and thankfully I haven’t seen it turn up again any time recently lol no one actually cooks like this, even here in America

      This was a fad in the early 1990s. I know a few people who tried it. I don’t know anyone who did it twice as it tends to require you to clean your dishwasher before and afterwards.

      Well, there’s also this.

      I believe Maytag once ran a commercial back in the '60s or '70s or something that implied you could cook a turkey in their dishwasher as well, boasting how powerful their heating element was for the dry cycle.

      I should also point out at this juncture that an awful lot of dishwashers these days including almost all import brands (Bosch in particular, also LG, Samsung, Asko, Miele, Smeg, etc.) are “condenser dry” machines and don’t have the heating element for drying anymore. You’re unlikely to cook anything satisfactorily in one of those. You could hope for the wash water being hot enough to do it, but I’m not playing any bets. Maybe you ought to select the sanitize rinse option…
