Chef David Burke's Dishwasher Thanksgiving Turkey
Chef David Burke's Dishwasher Thanksgiving Turkey
If your oven fails this holiday, you can cook your turkey in the diswasher.
When and why did David first try this? In 1982, he was serving as a private chef for a family in Oslo, Norway. The group of chefs caught a 10-pound salmon — as per the request from the family to have cold poached salmon on the buffet that Sunday evening. After realizing they did not have a pot large enough to cook it in, David seasoned and wrapped the salmon and then hung it on the top rack of the dishwasher where the glasses typically go. Three cycles later, he was rewarded with a perfectly poached fish and has been experimenting ever since.
