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.

  I can see the value in it. But I can also see a very great danger: [

  Valley Fever

  Valley Fever is a fungus that lives in the sand in the desert southwest and it affects both humans and dogs. Dogs get it when they dig in the desert sand and stick their noses in it. My beloved Homer got it just that way. Humans can also get it and I think it is mainly airborne from our strong winds.

  It's fairly treatable, but you do NOT want you or your dog to get it if you can avoid it. It's a BIG issue in AZ, 2/3s of all cases occur here and Yuma has it fairly bad.

  Please, do not do what you are suggesting.

  Well thats horrifying
