[@gnomersy1087]

Also most dishwasher filters aren't that clean or particularly easy to clean so it's like you steamed your salmon with dirty dishwater. A lot of tik tok "recipes" are more in the vein of disgusting clickbait like the goal is to anger and disgust the person watching to get them to interact rather than actually produce anything edible.

[@MxChloeB42]

@@gnomersy1087 To be fair to TikTok, the Dishwasher Salmon is almost as old as dishwashers, Vincent Price was even debuting it on the Tonight Show in 1975 and it's something my grandma used to do back in the 60s according to my mom.

[@Krossfyre]

I don't recall her conclusively proving that the time wasn't high enough though. I recall (though I could be wrong) that the temperature hits temperatures that will kill all bacteria if held long enough and it was theoretically possible that her salmon actually hit those temperatures for long enough to be safe.

[@Erndog67]

Where to start with the pasta lady. First of all she has her priorities backwards. She spent all that time with the pasta just to use store bought sauce. Second, no matter how much you grind up the pasta, it is still dried pasta. Semolina will absorb water, but dried pasta needs to be boiled. The whole thing is pointless. Great video.

[@xano2921]

she put eggs in, so no semolina, just flour

[@vanitas_tusgikuni]

pasta in blender hurts me I am not even italian

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Haha

[@philp8872]

It´s so dumb, I can´t imagine how this idea ever occured to anybody! Not only would you use wheat flour for fresh pasta with eggs, as opposed to semolina (without eggs) for spaghetti. It´s also more expensive. And I imagine sth as hard as uncooked spaghetti will grind down the knives of your blender very quickly.

[@anna9072]

Me, too. And the “pasta” she made was way too thick, it’s going to be doughy and gross. And the whole idea is insane - if you want fresh pasta start with flour or semolina, all you’re doing is adding unnecessary time and expense to what should be a (relatively) quick and simple process.

[@simonwood1260]

I firmly believe the world belongs to the next generation. I have always been the educator that was happy when the pupil became the master and so I have embraced this new way of cooking. I dry aged steak in the clothes dryer of course, then used the washing machine to sous vide. finally, the iron was the perfect way to get that crust I love on a great steak. I diced my veg by attaching each item to a firework and launching it at neighbours chicken wire fence, but had to ask for my diced carrot to be returned twice. Fortunately I live in a place large enough to swing a cat, so she because a salad spinner and loved every moment. 🙂(OMG your face was priceless as you saw how crazy these things are).

I spit out my drink. And then laughed for minutes. Thanks.

[@kingandcommoner]

You see, I've seen that "risotto" recipe before (with no parmesan thank god). Where I live we call it continental rice or french onion rice. From what i can tell, the butter ends up coating the rice, so it takes longer to absorb the liquid and cook but also retains its moisture when reheated, so it's useful for potlucks. Which means somebody took a perfectly okay casserole dish and said "I'm going to make it worse and insult a country all at once!"

[@Fatamorgana420]

Wasting water and energy to bake salmon, because putting it in an oven is too god damn difficult.

[@Kyle-nm1kh]

I've made salmon in the microwave before. Takes about 7 minutes. All you do is wrap it in some good plastic wrap that's sticky on one side, sealing it in the process. It actually comes out fully cooked and doesn't even look like you microwaved it. Was taught this method by my brother, but I don't think many people would try this because of the stigma of microwaves. 1) people think it's ineffective at cooking and 2) people think it's hazardous to food. But all you need is the right method

[@migueltucabron]

Cooking something in the dishwater is an old student trick to save money. You would use the dish washer both for washing the dishes while also making food at the same time. That way you're using the water and energy that would get used anyways. Obviously this TikTok showcase with an otherwise entirely empty dishwater is stupid.

[@hngdman]

I mean, most Tiktok recipes are just people doing the dumbest thing possible for views. They don't actually cook that way for themselves or think these are good methods/recipes. I hope.

[@Nacho2002b]

Regarding the first "omelette", you could point out that there is the issue of whether the bag is going to pass chemicals into the food.

[@Sevicify]

I was surprised he didn't call this out in the video, it's a serious health concern cooking food in bags without ensuring they're suitable for the given job. In the case of this particular video the chip package used definitely is not suitable for any kind of cooking.

[@kmfdmman]

The bag is a food storage bag, its already food safe on the interior. It shouldn’t pass off anything when heated either.

[@Sevicify]

@@kmfdmman It's a chip package designed to be safe at normal room temperatures, it is not designed to be safely heated especially at or past water boiling point temperature. Looking up chip packaging they use a very thin multi-layer design commonly consisting of Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP), Low-density Polyethylene (LDPE) and thermoplastic resin. Of particular interest is the LDPE which is known to leach chemicals into food and is considered stable up to 85C and has a melting point in the low 100s, definitely not something you really want to be cooking food with.

[@LouieLouie505]

Did she disinfect the outside of the bag? Who knows where it's been.

[@wildwaynedraws]

A few thoughts, 1. Anytime a v idea starts with “I learned this in (blank).” I immediately say, “No you didn’t.” 2. Love that you inserted Tiktok Lionfield, the Italians, in that segment. 3.

[@lisar3944]

ok before you diss it, waffle irons are pretty great for making all kinds of things aside from waffles. I personally don't do anything pizza-like in mine, but I regularly do socca, hash browns, fish cakes, and other savory stuff that benefits from a nice crispy crust with soft center. The other ones are pretty atrocious though - the pasta in the blender left me baffled :D

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

I don't have kids yet so... :)

[@Enthusiastic-Trainspotter-BNE]

[@j3anders0n]

I’ve heard that waffle irons are also good for reusing the bread stuffing that Americans serve with Thanksgiving and/or Christmas dinners. People either top the resulting waffles with leftover gravy, or use them as the “bread“ for a sandwich of leftover turkey.

[@TheAsymmetrical]

The waffle-calzone seems kind of legit. I don't own a waffle maker because I keep a pretty lean kitchen (kitchen-aid being a permanent 5000kg fixture of my counter) The specific example shown looks p good for making a quick lunch for multiple folks, is still using legit ingredients and the crust doesn't look hideous (personally speaking, mileage may vary) Either way, give me some better sauce over that glopular paste she served it with, better filling and maybe some chemically induced munchies and I ain't gonna complain about it. So much of the soul of cooking is iteration, derivation and deviation. With that being said. It's a toss up between a living creature dying only be ruined & desecrated in a nasty dishwasher. OR the absolutely dryest and overcooked risotto on planet earth.

[@Shae_Sandybanks]

Good lord. I can't even fathom how expensive that whole fillet of salmon would even cost, let alone wanting to ruin perfectly delicious looking fish by "cooking" it in the dishwasher. Food waste should be a crime.

Fish actually takes a lot less time to cook than the cycle of the dishwasher. Salmon Meuniere Salt Pepper Flour Butter Cappers ( if desired) Lemon juice Parsley Take the fish pat it dry , put salt , pepper to taste and little tiny bit of flour , cook in butter ( shouldn't need more then a few minutes on each side) take the fish out of the pan . In the butter the fish was cooked in put lemon juice and parsley ( and cappers) then put it on top of the fish . Very easy shouldn't take more then 10 minutes from start to finish and very delicious.

[@BrendonLee]

She was frying stuff in that outfit too. Her sweater/cardigan is gonna stink for days.

[@Karras353]

The obvious problem with the pizza waffles to me is that a waffle lacks the space for any meaningful sized pocket of filling. There is a device that would give a more pleasing result and is readily available, which is one of those sandwich toasters that crimp the edges. But a waffle iron is surely really very suboptimal for the job. The garlic gadget seems superfluous but I can kind of imagine it could be useful to someone with arthritis or something.

[@JoannaHammond]

I would also guess that the dough would be rock hard as it doesn't have any room to expand.

[@Karras353]

@@JoannaHammond You might be right and even having suggested it I do find myself second guessing if you could get a good result with unbaked dough in the sandwich toaster either. There is probably a good reason why you don't commonly see people trying. If the dough is thin enough though, I'm not certain how much of a problem expansion would be. You can get some ultra thin pizza bases that do not really rise much during baking, other than around the crust. Maybe there is a chance it would be more crispy than hard? I'm not sure. I do bake bread semi-regularly but I cannot say as I feel especially compelled to test this.

[@Vyrezz]

even ive seen someone frozen mac n cheese batch and waffle press it. Good? eh..maybe? Works? Yeah but i bet its mushy

[@chiblast100x]

@@Karras353 Having had cause to actually make "pizza" in a sandwich pocket maker (back in my childhood in the '80s and '90s), raw dough does work but it's faster and cleaner to just use bread or flour tortillas.

[@user-ps1ft1hy4j]

I have a stuffed waffle maker that flips over to cook both side evenly. You can stuff things in it, but you're right, the stuffing can't be too much, and even stuffed it makes for something that's best to dip in a sauce or top with something. However, it actually does make for a good pizza base when stuffed with typical pizza fillings and when the "dough" has finely chopped pepperoni inside it.

As a certified food safety manager if you cook salmon in your dishwasher this is a war crime

[@tylisirn]

Multiple people have tried it (using measurements of the internal temperature of the fish over time) and it is possible to do it safely. A diswasher reaches hot enough for long enough, that it barely brings a *thin* piece of salmon up to sufficient bacterial reduction according to food service guidelines to be considered pasteurized. But the effort and equipment required to ensure that you're actually doing it safely in *your* dishwasher far outweighs any possible use of this "trick". It is far less effort to just cook it normally.

[@RebelRhiannon]

I love the waffle maker pizza (calzone) idea! A fun idea, probably tastes pretty good and quick. That sauce looks like wall paper paste though..

[@daphnepearce9411]

I'm embarrassed to admit that I bought one of those garlic chopper things. And yes, it took me longer to clean that useless gadget. I agree with James, just use a chefs knife and a cutting board to chop garlic.

[@jakx2ob]

Aren't garlic presses fairly common. I don't like cutting garlic on a board since the board can take on the flavour. My grandma would yell at me if I cut onions or garlic on a cutting board other than the onion board.

[@daphnepearce9411]

I have a garlic press as well, but I hardly use it. If you keep your cutting board sanitized after cutting garlic or onions on it ,then you'll be fine. I use separate(dishwasher safe)cutting boards for produce and meats. I give them a good rinse and toss them in the dishwasher. Then they're nice and clean. No oder!

[@jakx2ob]

@@daphnepearce9411 I'm a garlic press believer. There was a moment when all the cooking influencers said to just cut rather than smash your garlic to keep the flavour inside and to prevent the garlic from oxidising but now they are all smashing the garlic before cutting to release more flavour and making it easier to cut I feel like it was all a sham and I might as well use the press if I'm immediately incorporating the garlic.

[@daphnepearce9411]

@jakx2ob Sounds good, yes I remember when garlic presses were used often in cooking videos. I still prefer my good ol (sharp)chefs knife for garlic. In fact it's my favorite kitchen gadget.

Hi Chef! Love your content! Little gadgets like the garlic chopper are actually really helpful for people like me who have issues with their hands; there are days I can't reliably hold a knife and use it to chop, and silly things like that garlic roller and veggie choppers help me continue to make homemade food. There's nothing wrong with a knife and cutting board, but for some disabled cooks, those plastic things are lifesavers. Would love to see you look into them more!

Any fish can be cooked in the dishwasher. No soap of course but make sure it is configured for heated water, and heat dry. It also has to be wrapped well so no water gets into the meat. This has been done for a couple of decades or more.

The wet burger in the toaster gave me a flashback to a trick that was done in dodgy seaside fast-food places 30 or more years ago. I’ve seen it both on the north coast of Ireland and the south of England (Portrush, Brighton and Margate to be exact). Burgers were cooked off before the rush and stored in buckets of water. When they were thrown on the hot plate they steamed rather than drying out giving a really nice moist texture. The clientele was basically drunk, fresh out of pubs or clubs so salt, sauce and the smell of fried onions were the only relevant flavours. It actually worked as long as you didn’t think hard about it.

[@JP-114]

God tiktoks are the worse for food. Make me not want to eat food then want food 🤣

[@NeoGunloc]

Hi James, I love your content. Keep up the good work. I do have a question tough, what is your opinion on people that cook food on the engines of their cars while driving ? I myself can't imagine that something like that can be a healthy thing.

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

I have never thought of doing it and starting a fire would save you the gas

[@NeoGunloc]

@@ChefJamesMakinson I completely agree, also there is the risk of the food's oil spilling on the engine. The food not being cooked all the way through and more.

[@kavitator5083]

I learned a few things from that video: - Rare chosen ones by destiny make pizza waffles. - Salmon watching from heaven is sad to be treated like a dirty plate. - Some people have a wish to die while using a blender. - Patties need to be washed. - You're free to buy a new toaster each time you want to use it to heat cheese. - Italian culture can be disrespected and destroyed and it's totally normal it seems.

[@LeonardoPostacchini]

The twist of the knife in my heart is cutting the unholy “pasta” with the fork to eat. She went to the trouble of destroying the spaghetti to change its shape, just cut it in squares at that point…

[@MrNatsil]

As for the dishwasher, it's used in France, it's a tip from a great chef for making foie gras or even salmon. I don't know about the USA, but in France dishwashers have a much more precise temperature cycle than an oven, and it's widely used by chef Norbert Tarayre. However, the salmon must not be in contact with water, so simple aluminum foil is not suitable, you need an airtight bag. Cooking in the dishwasher is a very well-known method in France.

[@dasain9]

From best to worst: - Avocado tray: yes, pretty much the only one with some sense. - Bottle as a yolk separator: this one is somewhat useful like you said, but I feel like the bottle won't retain its shape when squeezing it, so not very good. There are silicon gadgets that do this better (and still not as good as using the fingers or the shells while cracking it). - Waffle pizza: OK, so... This intrigues me and lowkey would like to try. Sue me, Italia. (La paella ya no, gracias) - Potato chips... omelette?: I mean, you can make it. It's just that making it into the bag is like adding an extra layer of difficulty for no reason really. - Risotto: same as above. You can make it, it will kinda work, but it's just a long-ass way to do a simple task for the sake of it. - "Fresh" pasta: no. - Dishwasher salmon: not just unnecessary and ecologically irresponsible, it's dangerous. - Reheating fast food in toaster: stupid, dumb, useless. Obviously made for clout and views (well, like most of these), but with the added risk of someone not very bright or a kid trying to replicate it and breaking the toaster or potentially causing a fire. I would've put the pasta as the worst, but at least there is no danger to it (unless if you're standing next to an Italian).

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

For me the pasta is the worst :)

Wow, so many nominees for the Darwin Awards this year. Shrapnel in thick, gloppy pasta noodles (but at least she’s getting more pasta per pasta?), cooking meat in the toaster (which has been the cause of several house/apartment fires)…good grief! In other news, Chef Makinson, have you seen Guga’s latest steak video? HP Sauce on steak! All of Britain went for him in the comments. Cheers!

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

No I haven't seen it!

[@FelisTerras]

The fish part I heard before. However, this diner used sous-vide bags to seal in the individual fish filets and then ran it through an indutsrial/restaurant grade dish washer. These reach up to +75°C, which is enough to cook a small trout or bream, not entire salmon sides

As you may know, you’re one of my favorite chefs doing this! I’ve reached out to a few others to recommend collabs. I really imagine you’ll take off very soon to that next level, and I will be so happy for you and the viewers who get to learn from you, be encouraged and entertained. For the video clips today, it was so hard to watch. I do like the avocado tip which I’ve seen but haven’t tried. Seems like it could be a fast way to scrape all the fruit if you’re going fast and need bulk. I’m from the south and will make that much but I just cut it and scoop. That burger was so gross. I did see a hack experiment (maybe on Sorted when they couldn’t use pans or something in a challenge), and one of them put sesame seeds in the little tray of the toaster to try to toast them, and it apparently worked. I thought it was interesting for perhaps a college student in a dorm that couldn’t cook but had toaster and a love for everything cream cheese bagels. Thank you as always!!!

I didn't cook that poorly when I was a student and that was a case of "Does it come in a tin? Is it cheap?" and things had to tick both boxes! The pasta in a blender was painful to watch, I consider pasta a treat and yes it's worth making fresh. Which is why I have pasta flour in the pantry and fresh eggs. It's not exactly rocket surgery!

[@kmfdmman]

The bags of scrambled eggs is a lot of easier to do if you’re catering for a large group and you’re doing it by yourself or with a limited staff. I use to do a very large buff breakfast catering for the local chamber of commerce every week. I could load up a 5 gallon stock pot of water with as many bags of the eggs I needed and bring it to a boil, reduce the heat to low with a lid on and let it take care of itself while I worked on other projects. The garlic gadget is good for older people or disabled people. Most gadgets are really being marketed to older people or people with disabilities. There are a lot of people with arthritis that just can’t safely hold a knife.
