A woman recently found herself in a pickle while moving from home to home, leaving her without many working kitchen appliances.
Angie Matthews of Shropshire, England, was in the process of moving when she decided to cook her dinner in the dishwasher as a "test."
Matthews, 53, told SWNS that she decided to try cooking salmon, peas and potatoes in her dishwasher out of curiosity — and it worked.

"It was more of a test to see if it would work. I was stressed at the time and I felt like making myself laugh a bit," she said.

The homeowner noted that she actually forgot to turn off the intensive setting on the dishwasher prior to starting the process, so the dish did come out a bit overcooked.

Elaine Hayhurst said salmon should be seasoned, wrapped airtight with tin foil and set on the top rack of the dishwasher.
The dishwasher can then be set to run a full cycle with hot water and a heated dry, she detailed.

She said the salmon must be cooked at 145 degrees Fahrenheit, at least, for the process to work.
When the cycle is complete, simply pull out the salmon and enjoy the meal, she said.
