Innovation abounds in our modern society with brave souls venturing forth to squeeze every last use of existing hardware. A recent innovation is using a dishwasher to cook food:
The dishwasher is every home cook's best friend after dinner is served. But did you know you can use it to prepare that dinner as well?
[...] There are entire YouTube channels dedicated to imparting the wisdom of dishwasher cooking, there was even a Mythbusters episode dedicated to it.
[...] An experiment, conducted this month by Australian consumer advocacy group Choice, looked into this bizarre phenomenon to determine whether or not it was safe to cook stuff in your dishwasher.
The company's white goods tester whipped up a meal of honey soy salmon, coconut rice, an Asian style spinach and mushrooms, and a darling little custard and fruit compote.
The verdict? "Delicious!"
The article provides practical considerations of how to prepare food for cooking in the dishwasher as well as what foods are or are not good candidates.

So yeah, that's going to limit your choices.
For example, I wouldn't recommend this for polar bear meat [damninteresting.com].

Use the the clothes drier then.
If you cook while doing the dishes, that's hipster, but ok.
Although pretty sure hipsters won't mind all the wasted energy with no dishes. Who cares about efficiency if it's hipster enough.

Load up the dishwasher with dirty dishes and one or two mason jars filled with uncooked food?
I might try this but it seems whack.

Can't be worse than using a car's engine waste heat to cook [duckduckgo.com].
Or you always could use your (soldering) iron instead. Whatever's wackier.

That link to Salomon August Andrée's 1897 expedition over the Arctic ice using a hydrogen balloon was a very interesting read. Thank you!
