A man has shared an unusual hack for cooking the perfect medium-rare steak — he puts it in the dishwasher.
CBS news correspondent Michael George shared a video where he puts a vacuum-sealed steak in the dishwasher before browning the outside in a pan with butter and garlic.
The result? “It came out AMAZING,” he tweeted.

Sharing the video on his culinary Twitter account, he tweeted: “A dishwasher immerses dishes in 130 degree hot water…that’s basically a giant sous vide machine, right?! The steak came out a perfect medium rare! It just needed 2 minutes in the pan to brown the outside!”
Although he already owns a sous vide cooker, he wanted to try putting it into the dishwasher “for science”.
Some of George’s followers seemed on-board with the idea:
it.....does look good. https://t.co/KihcJoxAyr

Interesting. Kinda like *steam-cooking* it in a microwave....then finishing it in a fry pan. With a microwave....you'd use less energy and no water.

Others however, weren’t quite so convinced:

George isn’t the first at-home chef to experiment with the dishwasher’s cooking abilities.
The hack of cooking salmon in a dishwasher has circulated on the internet for a while, with YouTuber Tom Scott even giving the unconventional cooking method a go.
Scott’s verdict? “Perfect,” he said.
This takes cleaning while you go to a whole other level.
