When it comes to cooking, more often than not, the experience is a chore. Thus I’m always on the hunt for a new recipe or idea that can add some excitement to the preparation or the meal itself. In most instances I just cook with a bottle of wine in my hand – somehow that seems to help.

I found a recipe the other day that is sure to add enjoyment to the cooking and dining experience: Dishwasher Salmon! The Surreal Gourmet has the following to say about the concept/recipe:

“Poaching fish in the dishwasher is a virtually foolproof way to shock your friends, prepare a succulent meal, and do the dishes—all at the same time. I've poached salmon in more than 100 dishwashers on 3 continents. There's never been a dull party. Set your doubts aside, put dinner in the dishwasher, and watch this multitasking kitchen appliance steal the show.”
