Don’t Cook Salmon in the Dishwasher! | Episode 38

Don't Eat Poop! A Food Safety Podcast

In this episode of Don’t Eat Poop!, our hosts Matt and Francine are here to talk about murder, mushrooms, and dishwasher salmon.

Matt starts the episode by giving a big shout-out to his wife, who truly deserves it, and sharing his life as “Mr. Mom” during his wife’s week-long absence.

They talk about a woman charged with murder in Australia for allegedly poisoning her ex-husband's family with toxic mushrooms all wrapped in fancy Beef Wellington. Naturally, they also joke about their unusual way of dealing with stress.

Then, they dive deeper into their fascination with True Crime, the inner workings of criminal minds, and how they end up becoming the “great” criminals they are.

Lastly, they contemplate the absurd notion of cooking salmon in a dishwasher, all the even crazier things people put in their dishwashers (washing machines exist for a reason, okay?), and why none of this is a good idea.
