Mythbusters - Cooking Lasagna with Dishwasher

Alright, after an unexpected problem which someone notified me after all this time, can't believe the video has no freakin' sound at all when my copy has. Anyway, a reupload this time and with me double checked it. Hopefully this will put the complaint to an end.

[@djseraphis]

Pfft, now try washing dishes in an oven.

[@redmike1617]

+djseraphis well some dishwashers do have a clean cycle...

[@SuperHeroJay]

+redmike 1617 what about an oven.

[@LIGamingTV]

+Jason Truong i think he meant oven considering if a dishwasher didn't have a clean cycle it'd be useless

[@redmike1617]

Hayley Williams i did, was tired when i made the original comment

[@SamnissArandeen]

+djseraphis Heating dishes in a pan of water? Should loosen up gunk rather nicely.

[@hrhKR]

It should have one of those glass doors, where normally its blurry, but with some electricitiy run through it, it turns clear.

[@cleverusername9369]

Alton Brown has the perfect energy for this, he's basically a culinary version of Adam

[@MrMarinus18]

Most of the celebrity visits did feel pretty forced but Alton Brown is one of the few who fit in perfectly.

[@rickwilliams967]

I'd say the other way around. Alton has been doing this since '99.

[@jool5941]

[@Hairysteed]

"Don't try this at home!" - What!? I'm not supposed to make lasagna at home anymore?!?

+Hairysteed Homecooked lasagna kills 200 people a year. DO NOT TRY!

[@Chaps_Jr]

+MrQuader4 Do you know how many people choke on lasagna each year?!

[@juicedinsomniac5198]

Wolo lo but they used a “water oven”

[@pusongmanhid]

Don't try cooking lasagna at home using a dishwasher.

[@tomf3150]

Do it the right way: make your own tomato salsa, pre-cook and sear the meat, and bring the meat in the sauce to a boil. And use home pasta or cook the pasta to aldente before assembling the lasagna. Then in the dishwasher. the oven only ends the cooking, the washer does the same.

[@brittlespy9083]

Alton and Adam are like two cousins who grow up in two vastly different households and yet are really chill with each other

Ramsay is immortal at this point. He ages in forehead wrinkles every time he busts a vein from yelling so much. Or puking from sniffing rotting meat in a freezer. He even cut his fingers before dragging them through the grease trap on a kitchen stove, bled all over, survived.

[@MikehMike01]

In a normal lasagna you would have no foil covering and cheese on top, you don’t compress it

[@K12machinima]

⁠@@MikehMike01I feel it’s up to the person making it. My mom would make lasagna with layers of JUST meat, and no sauce, and it would drive me crazy, because reheating it, it’s basically a dry sponge between squishy and crunchy pasta. I’ve always made lasagna as noodle base, sauce and veggie, noodle, ricotta with a thin band of sauce in the middle, noodle, your meat and sauce, noodle, sauce and cheese for crust. I guess you could compress it, then do your top layer - I might try it next time.

[@unorthodoxromance254]

It’s the poor man’s sous vide - not as sophisticated, but entertaining to watch.

[@Dr_Monitor]

"it's not exactly crispy" At that moment, Alton thought of how he could get away with killing Jamie with the spatula.

[@LL-yn1zz]

They should make a specialty restaurant where they cook things in a dishwasher and serve them to you, and you'd be able to see your food cooking in the dishwasher.

[@Shakes-Off-Fear]

Love the look that Alton gives Jamie at 5:46 as if to say "Dude, seriously?"

Not even Garfield would eat that lasagna.

[@waldo15061]

There was one glaring option that was ignored: the high heat dry cycle. It would be interesting to know how that may affect the outcome of the recipe.

The other reason you don’t see glass front dishwashers is because the glass can’t insulate the heat as well as the normal front can.

Who the fuck puts sausage in lasagne?? Also who the fuck spells it 'Lasangna' is that just an American thing? I'd buy a glass fronted dishwasher, it would match my see through toaster...

[@ActorBelle8]

How do you spell lasagna?

[@wiamoaw]

+ isabella I was taught to spell it 'Lasagne' and had never seen it spelt (you may prefer 'spelled' if you're American) any other way, so I never really questioned it until the other day. Turns out 'Lasagna' is the singular and 'lasagne' is the plural, so on the face of it asking for a single portion of lasagna makes sense however the word refers to the pasta sheets rather than the dish as a whole and no lasagne I've ever seen has just one layer. It would be like asking for a portion of fry instead of fries (or chip/chips as we call them in the UK). I stand by the comment about adding sausage though, that's just not right!

[@chistinelane]
