- SaumZ, on 10/12/2007, -3/+59You can only cook a potato on a burning dell laptop.
- JC-Sharp, on 10/12/2007, -3/+25This is just awesome, although a bit redundant as it takes 12 minutes (as states in article) to cook in the oven, and 50 minutes in the dishwasher. Still, it's damn interesting and definitely could serve great for entertaining groups of friends.
I'd love to see Ctrl + Alt + Chicken attempt this. - signal15, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18In high school, I worked at a gas station. We didn't have anything to cook on, but got a brilliant idea to wrap a frozen pizza in tin foil and place it on top of the oil burner used to heat the garage. The exhaust from it was vented outside, and the pizza was just on top of the oil burner. After about 20 minutes, we opened it up, and it was the most beautiful pizza we've ever seen. Baked perfectly, crust had just the right amount of crispness, and the chees was lightly browned on the edges. I picked up a piece, put it in my mouth, and was greeted by the delicious taste of used motor oil. Couldn't even taste the pizza.
Don't try cooking anything on industrial equipment. - MrRockabilly, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Grilled-Cheese-Sandwich-With-an-Iron
More useful and doesn't take 4 times longer than its skillet alternative - toneii, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11"What will hit the front page next? Bake potato's with a laptop?"
With the laptop you can roast nuts... - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9For the love of all that is sacred, remember the foil!
- anonymonk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7@ChuckRoastHere:
Nope... but I'm pretty sure "cook eggs with your cellphone" was on a while ago. - ShiverMeBoner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Not all dishwashers reach and sustain the temperature necessary to kill all the parasites/parasite eggs living in raw fish.
Yum. Tapeworms. - bflfab, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5A whole lot of fine dining is the "show" aspect, so this fits right in there. I would also love to see this on Ctrl-Alt-Chicken.
- crilen007, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Step 1) Find bad Dell laptop
Step 2) Place pig on Laptop
Step 3) Wait for explosion
Step 4) Bacon - Langford, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I can't help but get a mental image of fish bits going down the dish-washer drain, as if I could open the door and find the fish had disappeared.
- clearrecrd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3if salmon is pre-frozen it kills the tapeworms
- Pattyo13, on 05/14/2009, -0/+3i thought all they had back then were radios and cars you crakned by hand to start
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3As a kid I use to drive 2 penny nails through a board, attach a lamp cord to each end. Place a hotdog on the nails and plug it in. Amaze your friends! The electrical current cooks the hotdog in seconds. Be sure to unplug before removing the hotdog!
http://www.exo.net/~pauld/activities/electric/hotdoggfi/hotdogcooker.html - Danathar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Ahh...how bout PRIME RIB!
What's that line from Apocolpse now?
"They lined us all up in front of a hundred yards of prime rib --
magnificent meat, beautifully marbled.. Then they started
throwing it in these big cauldrons, all of it -- boiling.
I looked in, an' it was turning gray." - AnalystX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Or you could choose to not use the foil (at least not tightly wrapped), not try to clean your dishes at the same time, and pour liquid smoke in the detergent reservoir instead. Smoked salmon.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_Smoke - grooviekenn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3True... but if you are cleaning you dishes anyways....
- starexplorer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2yeah, ok, fine, but how about cooking brook trout on a car engine on live tv?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIFsvt-oX7s - maxium, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Most Sushi servered in the US is flash frozen. This will kill most (though not all) parasites.
- tont0r, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2How much energy does it take to run the dishwasher for 50 minutes vs running the oven for 12 minutes?
- hhOwArdrOarKk, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Laugh if you want but my 'George Foreman igrill' is used almost constantly. It grills a really good steak, you just have to make sure the fillets are on the thin side.
http://www.mobilemag.com/content/100/102/C8950/ - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -13/+14What will hit the front page next? Bake potato's with a laptop?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2How about cooking on your car's engine. Roadkill anyone?
http://www.amazon.com/Manifold-Destiny-Guide-Cooking-Engine/dp/0375751408 - snurfle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Same thing, but with pickles. They glow a nice eerie yellow-green.
Of course, eating them after the light show is kinda gross, and the smell is HORRIBLE (do this outside), but it's way cooler to watch than dishwashing a salmon! - porkstacker, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Oh the horror!!! Why oh why in a dishwasher!???!
(prefers to slow-grill salmon over mesquite) - neuropsychguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This reminds me of when we used to put hot dogs (in aluminum foil) in the engine block of a boat while we water skied. When we needed lunch, the hot dogs were all ready to go.
- grooviekenn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I'm going to make this at work because I'm sick of eating sandwiches and microwavable foods!! I'm sure I'll get weird looks from everyone, but I'll know it's because they are jealous! ;-)
- xr56n44, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1what a ***** idiot. i hope he at least cleaned the dishwaher first, nothing adds zip to the fish like leftover undissolved chunks of detergent
- merreborn, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3I didn't click the comments link to read mattsparkes' opinion of fish, and wether or not he owns a dishwasher.
The comment added nothing to the discussion, so it gets the red thumbs down. - Lord_oftheTrons, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I did this with cod just to see if it would work at my old job. We disconnected all of the chemicals and wrapped it up with some butter and old bay. Took quite a few cycles (in a commercial dishwasher) to get the job done. I did not eat it at all though.
- rafgar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I'd think this would be something you'd do when you have a little extra room while you're doing dishes. That or you just do it because it's one of those things that'll make people question your sanity till they see the results (my reason for doing it :-D)
- Lane, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"DO NOT ATTEMPT TO COOK A WHOLE FISH!"
sigh with the kind of volume the washer provides id hope to simply take the tubber ware container i stuck them in from the lake and enjoy some catfish - binarypower, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Food poisoning????? wth.. the only heat generated is from the hot water. If you have your water heaters set to "low" (to prevent kids from buring themselves) then you are cooking a potentially unsafe fish. Marked as inaccurate.
- Whitey04, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@merreborn
I rather enjoyed his comment. Your willing to comment how this didn't add to discussion (the thread has 5 replys) but not to "badass"?
Disclaimer: I made the badass comment and stand by it. It is "badass." Less is more :) - kevinharbin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I did this about a year ago with some friends. It was fun to have done it, and it makes a good story. But all in all, it takes far to long to be worth doing.
- quanta88, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1How about frying an egg on a CPU?
http://www.phys.ncku.edu.tw/~htsu/humor/fry_egg.html - FTLJohnson, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Dugg down for not reading the article. Dummy.
- irixman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Guess you don't like sushi... :(
- UrlorJkron, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4"'You can only cook a potato on a burning dell laptop.'---I suppose the burning Apple and IBM laptops are too high of a temp?"
You just don't get the same flavor. It like charcole vs. gas; it just tastes better. - BobMysterioso, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Can you imagine what salmon clogged dishwasher would smell like? Shudder.
I saw a simple life - (I know) where she made some grilled cheese using an iron. some tinfoil on it, and it might work, cleanly.
The best I ever did was reheat some hotel breakfast by putting the little metal lid on it, and taking a hair drying and blowing hot air into the hole at the top. This did 2 things. Heated up the food with an odd accent flavor, and dispersed all food to the sides of the pan.. still, it worked. - harrisonpowers, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1That's so awesome, I can't wait to try this out!
- nfph, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Absolutely freaking disgusting. Why not tie it together with used dental floss while you're at it? Suggesting an update to existing Kosher and Halal laws...
- Pattyo13, on 05/14/2009, -1/+1or just bbq it, microwave it, buy a new oven, use you laptop battery, etc...
- verstohlen, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0This information shall serve me well next time I find myself in a kitchen with a dishwasher and uncooked salmon, but no oven or microwave, as so often does happen.
- BobMysterioso, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1It was smoked by the oil fumes, albeit slowly. And as they seeped in, they just hung out in the foil. Still, I really thought it was going to be good pizza, I could almost taste it. Then, I was glad I couldn't.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1i guess if your ovens broken.............
- Plugh, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Pfeh. I saw this done on TV at least thirty years ago.
- Pattyo13, on 05/14/2009, -7/+5"What will hit the front page next? Bake potato's with a laptop?"
If enough people vote for it...yes - rafgar, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4Get over yourself. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion on food. So what if someone doesn't like fish? That's no reason to digg them down.
On a side not, salmon's something that I could take or leave, but I think I'm gonna try this anyway. If nothing else, the 'nutty chef' factor will make it worth doing. Hopefully I can find someplace in this seafood deprived town that has some relatively fresh fish for it. - devoss, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0"What will hit the front page next? Bake potato's with a laptop?"
Actually, it's more like smores. -
