"I can’t a fjord it": Inside one of the world’s most extreme restaurants

One of the world's most extreme restaurants has gone viral and not only for its unique location and shape, but also its exclusive dining experience that's eerily similar to 2022 horror film The Menu. Restaurant Iris is located inside a giant silvery orb in Hardangerfjord, the second largest Fjord in Norway. The four-storey structure, called the Salmon Eye is inspired by - you guessed it - the shape of a fish eye, and it is quite a sight to behold. The Salmon Eye is covered in 9,000 steel plates to emulate fish scales, weighing a whopping 1,256 tonnes and an impressive diameter of 25 metres, with one sub-surface floor that boasts a panoramic view of the Fjord. The restaurant itself can only be accessed by an electric boat off the shore of Rosendal, as guests are treated to "an exclusive expedition dining-journey" which offers an 18-course meal and panoramic views. The 24-seat restaurant is run by Head Chef Anika Madsen, and prior to having their main meal, guests are taken to the chef's boathouse on the nearby island of Snilstveitoy, for a "welcoming snack". The menu is designed to showcase "the most local ingredients possible", which reflects Madsen's "commitment to sustainability" and her "passion for discovering new ingredients from the ocean". Mari Eriksmoen posted the viral video on TikTok which has racked up over eight million views. "This spectacular just opened in the middle of the Hardangerfjord in Norway," she started in the clip with a shot of the structure floating in the middle of the fjord. She described the experience of walking into the restaurant "like entering a spaceship," and was mesmerised by the "insane views". Once the evening kicks off, guests indulge in a multi-sensory experience where they were instructed to pick a "cracker" hanging from the ceiling after watching a "short movie about food waste". Another TikTok user compared it to the extraterrestrial spacecraft from the 2016 sci-fi film Arrival. However many other users compared the dining experience to 2022 horror film The Menu, where a group of guests eat at an exclusive restaurant on a remote island and face dire consequences. "Did we learn nothing from The Menu?" commented one user with the crying face emoji. "I know how this movie ends," wrote another user. "I can’t a fjord it," joked a third. The dining experience aims to "blend gastronomy and activism on a global scale" as they hope to raise awareness on the the challenges and threats to the global food system. "The menu at Iris reads like a story, " a statement said. "A story about the challenges and threats to the global food system, but also with ideas and suggestions for future innovations, that can help bring us closer to solving them." The tasting menu itself is priced at 3,200 Norwegian Krone ($316) with an optional wine pairing for 2,500 Norwegian Krone ($247). For those who want to visit the Salmon Eye, but don't want to dine in, they can buy a ticket for a two-hour "learning experience" at the centre priced at 349 Norwegian Krone ($34).

How healthy are your dishwasher habits?

Are you one of those people guilty of cramming as much as possible into the dishwasher or perhaps you don’t rinse the scraps off your plates before loading them in? Either way, both of these habits can mean that a wash cycle is a waste of time, water and power. To ensure that you don’t have two-day-old muesli stuck on your bowls post-wash, we’ve compiled four top tips for maximising your dishwasher’s cleaning powers. Rinse off Rinsing off any crumbs, scraps, sauces and so on not only makes it much easier for your dishwasher to run properly, but it also promotes a healthy environment. For example, if you don’t put your dishwasher on everyday and you don’t rinse then you are leaving food to fester for days. Stack right But neatly stacking or arranging the things that go into your dishwasher you will reep a few benefits. The most simple of these is that you will be able to fit more in (without overcrowding) if you stack things cautiously. For instance if bowl and plates are all facing the same way, they stack more efficiently. Secondly if you arrange things well in your dishwashing it will allow the waters and cleaner to get to every surface of every item in your dishwasher. Usually, large bowls and plates go on the bottom facing inwards, with saucepans and large pans stacked around the edges of them, glasses and small bowls go up top, as do long utensils. Knives face downward in the cutlery holder. Remember though, not everything should go in the dishwasher. For instance, some things like good knives and metal utensils such as pewter are not dishwasher safe or can become damaged by being put through a wash and are better suited to being hand washed. Don’t overcrowd We’ve all been there before – after cooking up a big meal for the family all of the plates, pots and pans simply won’t fit in the dishwasher well. So you end up packing it all in. Don’t do it. It’s simply not worth it and it will NOT wash properly. It’s better to either hand wash some or put two loads on. Dishwasher TLC Every now and then you should clean out your dishwasher – especially the seals. You may find bits if grime you can wipe away or every strewn cutlery or that Tupperware lid you’ve been searching high low for. A little bit of TLC every once in a while will ensure your dishwasher cleans more effectively and it may even make it last for longer. Some people suggest using a cup of vinegar in an empty dishwasher and to run a cycle to get rid of lime and soap build up. In any case before cleaning, consult your instruction manual to see it comes with any cleaning tips. If you’ve misplaced your manual – check to see if it’s available online.

Three signs it's time to clean your dishwasher

The dishwasher is often one of the hardest working appliances in the house. While it's regularly filled with hot water and detergent, you’d be forgiven for thinking it's a clean environment. However, with all the dirt and food waste that goes into a dishwasher, it’s important to keep it maintained so your dishes come out sparkling every time. Here’s three things to look out for that mean it’s time to clean your dishwasher. Your dishes are coming out cloudy and dirty Food left on your dishes, or a white powdery substance is a tell-tale sign that it’s time to clean your dishwasher. It’s recommended that your dishwasher gets cleaned once a month to keep it in good condition. If you notice cloudy spots on your drinking glasses, the simplest solution is to place a bowl of vinegar on the top rack and run a cycle, which acts as a rinse aid to help combat hard water. It’s a good idea to check your manual before doing this, as some manufacturers advise against using vinegar in a dishwasher. There’s a funny smell coming from your dishwasher If you have a terrible smell from your dishwasher, the problem could be food particles getting caught in the filter. Check and clean your filter after each use to avoid nasty smells in your kitchen. Also, dishwasher cleaners that run through a cycle with no dishes in the racks can help clean food debris out of hard to reach places. Water isn’t draining out of your dishwasher properly If water is still pooling in the bottom of your dishwasher after running a cycle, or if you see water bubbling out of the sink, you might have a clog in the plumbing. If you clean the filter and check for obstructions and you are still finding pools of water, it might be time to call an expert to look at your dishwasher. Image credits: Getty Images

Mum’s clever hack helps dry your dishes in record time

For many people, the ultimate kitchen pet peeve is when you open your dishwasher after its cycle has finished and while your dishes may be clean, they are still sopping wet. Rather than running the appliance through another drying cycle, one clever mum has discovered how to dry your dishes in five minutes flat. Known online for her cleaning hacks and recipes, Babs shared a video to her Instagram to share her savvy hack. "Has this ever happened to you? You're ready to unload the dishwasher, and guess what!?

8 things you shouldn’t put in the dishwasher

Some items commonly placed in the dishwasher should never be put there. Wooden utensils – Hot water can cause your wooden utensils to wear and warp. Vintage plates – Detergent and hot water can wear at trims and painted details on old china. Aluminium cookware – Harsh conditions in your dishwasher can cause your aluminium cookware to grow discoloured. Insulated travel mug – Unless stated otherwise on the label, avoid putting travel mugs in the dishwasher. The water can get in between the cup’s layers and destroy the insulation, rendering your cup useless. Cheese graters and garlic presses – Most dishwashers aren’t powerful enough to fully clean a cheese grater. Wash it by hand exclusively or give it a scrub before putting it in the washer. Chef knives – Detergent can damage the sharp edge of your knives, and in turn your knives can damage other dishes if they’re not safely secured in your washer. Crystal – Some crystal can be put in the dishwasher, but to be safe your best bet is washing your best pieces by hand with a gentle soap or shampoo. Copper cookware – Like your aluminium cookware, the dishwasher can cause your copper goods to lose their coveted copper shade.

Adding space to your dishwasher just got easier

Looking for more space in your dishwasher? Perhaps you’ve even considered upgrading – but before you do, take a moment to consider this genius solution one eager Kmart shopper has come up with – using only a $10 item. Posting in the Kmart Home Decor & Hacks Australia Facebook group, the woman revealed she had purchased the store’s Over Sink Dish Drying Rack, which is intended to sit over your sink to dry plates and utensils, as well as defrost food. “Got this for my sink, however, it also works great as an extra rack for the large utensils in the dishwasher,” the shopper wrote, also sharing a photo of the drying rack set up in her dishwasher. A word of warning: Kmart doesn’t explicitly state that their drying rack is dishwasher-safe, meaning there’s an off chance your particular dishwasher model may not like it. The dishwasher hack comes as Kmart released its own range of budget white goods online last month. “The new white goods range was seen as a gap in the market for us to service in this way and provide our customers with everything they need at the lowest prices,” a Kmart spokesperson told news.com.au.

Why you NEED to put your fruit and veggies in the dishwasher

A woman has gone viral after sharing her food hygiene hack – washing fruit and vegetables in the dishwasher. In a TikTok clip, the user @smilelop showed how she removed dirt and bugs from her produce. She arranged a variety of fresh food products on the top shelf and bottom drawer before pouring in a capful of distilled white vinegar in the detergent compartment. She then set the machine running, and the video cut to seemingly washed and clean crops. <blockquote style="max-width: 605px; min-width: 325px;" class="tiktok-embed" data-video-id="6824889367530704133"><a rel="noopener" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@smilelop" target="_blank" title="@smilelop">@smilelop</a> <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/cleanvegetables" target="_blank" title="cleanvegetables">##cleanvegetables</a> <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/cleanfruit" target="_blank" title="cleanfruit">##cleanfruit</a> <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/tiktoktips" target="_blank" title="tiktoktips">##tiktoktips</a> <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.tiktok.com/tag/vinegar" target="_blank" title="vinegar">##vinegar</a> <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.tiktok.com/music/PONETE-ASÍ-6792622683843513093" target="_blank" title="♬ PONETE ASÍ - melojnico">♬ PONETE ASÍ - melojnico</a></blockquote> The video has now been viewed more than a million times, but some viewers on the comment section were sceptical of the hack. “I literally don’t know why this would be necessary,” one wrote. “I mean a light vinegar solution is good to kill bacteria and some fruit has wax film on it, but dishwasher? Come on girl,” another replied. According to <a href="https://foodsafety.asn.au/fruit-and-vegetables/">the Food Safety Information Council</a>, washing fruits and vegetables under running water and drying them can help remove loose soil and remove many bacteria and viruses. The council also advised practicing safe hand washing and hygiene before preparing food or cooking.

9 clever ways to make your kitchen safer

No matter how prepared we are, there comes a point where we need to accept and work with the limitations and restraints of our bodies. The good news is, we can do this by removing any unnecessary strain required to perform everyday household tasks in our home, as well as eliminating or reducing risk factors like slippage or other hazards. If you find it difficult to manage regular day-to-day functions in the kitchen, you can use the following strategies to make using the hub of the home both a safer and more practical environment. When the kitchen is easier and safer to use, everyone can benefit from cooking healthy home-cooked meals like this <a href="https://www.hellofresh.com.au/recipes/mushroom-risotto-579eff2477d68df04d8b4568">delicious mushroom risotto</a>. Here are 9 ways you can make the kitchen safer and easier to use. 1. Install easy-hold handles on doors and cabinets As we age and become more fragile, what may seem like minor falls and bumps can result in injury or even death for some people. A fall that causes someone to seriously injure themselves often results from them failing to hold onto a surface they’ve leveraged their weight against. A common-sense approach to reduce the risk of this happening in the kitchen is to invest in easy-hold handles that can easily replace existing handles. These easy-hold handles are designed to be non-slip so anyone with wet hands can still maintain a strong grip. 2. Adjust the height of the dishwasher If you would like to continue using and <a href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/lifestyle/home-garden/the-ultimate-guide-to-stacking-your-dishwasher">stacking the dishwasher</a>, then it’s a smart idea to raise the height of it so there’s no need to bend as much. It’s no secret that back problems are a common issue as we age, so this strategy can do you a lot of good. 3. Remove carpets and rugs While carpets and rugs can look and function beautifully as furnishings in your home, they present a significant hazard to anyone in wheelchairs or who have difficulty walking. We can often slip on loose or soft surfaces, and wheelchairs can get tangled in the frayed textiles. 4. Install brighter light bulbs Visibility is another area that’s important for safety in a kitchen, particularly as our eyesight naturally deteriorates over our lifetime. The utility of brighter lights is pretty obvious; it will mean having an easier time seeing what we’re doing and are less likely to injure ourselves with a misstep. <img style="width: 500px; height: 281.25px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7828022/hello-fresh-body.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/9b78d95992f449b6a5a10e9ba6fb7df1" /> 5. Invest in appliances that can turn themselves off automatically Ever feel like you may have forgotten to switch off the stove or some other appliance and you might burn the house down? Even things like kitchen sink faucets can pose a significant risk if left running, as they could wet the floor and create a trip hazard. This is why it’s a good idea to invest in <a href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/lifestyle/food-wine/the-13-kmart-kitchen-item-shoppers-are-loving">new kitchen items</a> that are able to automatically switch themselves off after they detect a period of inactivity. These features are also great because they help reduce power and water wastage, reducing utility bills. 6. Adjust the height of countertops Just like the dishwasher, countertops can be raised or lowered to a more convenient height for anyone that may require the use of a wheelchair or need to be seated whilst performing certain tasks in a kitchen. It can also be useful to modify the edges of the countertops with distinct colours so that anyone with poor vision can distinguish certain areas of the kitchen. 7. Install anti-slip flooring Marble or tiled flooring is popular in many kitchens for its aesthetic quality, but it actually presents a big slip risk hazard. When these slick surfaces get wet, they become a major accident waiting to happen for anyone with unsure footing. 8. Install extra railings and hand bars While they aren’t the most aesthetically pleasing home inclusions, assistive bars and <a href="https://www.wikihow.com/Build-a-Temporary-Handrail-System">handrail systems</a> have saved lives and shouldn’t be overlooked. Basically, you can install extra surfaces that you can grip around the kitchen so that you can more easily and confidently navigate the space. 9. De-clutter the kitchen Removing unnecessary things from the kitchen can make it safer to use, as there will simply be less opportunities for something to go wrong. The biggest benefit is that you create more physical space to move around in, meaning you are less likely to bump into something. Built-in appliances, such as a microwave that’s built into a cabinet nook, are great as they free up some surface space on the countertops. All of this means less hazards are present and there’s less risk of something going wrong.

The ultimate guide to stacking your dishwasher

Believe it or not but there is an art in stacking your dishwasher. While some may just throw the dishes in whichever way they deem fit, there are a few rules to follow to ensure your using space to its full potential. Consumer advocacy group Choice Australia has revealed some of the best tips and tricks when it comes to stacking your dishwasher to help achieve the cleanest dishes possible. Never place wood, aluminium or copper in the dishwasher While most items are safe to stack, there are a few exceptions. It’s recommended that anything made of wood, such as chopping boards, rolling pins and wooden spoons should not be placed inside a dishwasher, as the material tends to absorb odours and flavours of the surrounding dishes. Good quality knives and fine china should also be avoided, as the water pressure can damage the cutlery and ruin the detailing. Anything that consists of a “reactive metal” should be handwashed, which means items made from aluminium and copper should stay away from the dishwasher. Don’t bother pre-washing dishes It’s a habit that most people fall into before loading up their dishwasher, but your favourite dishwashing tablet has enough power to remove all surface stains without you having to give it a pre-wash. Just be sure to scrape any excess food scraps beforehand, to avoid the filter from clogging up. Make sure the dirtiest dishes go in the middle The answer to squeaky clean dishes is placement so write this next part down. Plastics should always go on the top shelf to reduce the risk of melting, the same applies for anything made of glass. Sometimes the spinning fan can miss the corners of the dishwasher so it’s a good idea to put the dirtiest dishes right in the middle for the most effective clean. Lastly, place each and every plate and bowl downwards to avoid dirty water and don’t stack them on top of each other.

Cook tonight’s dinner in your dishwasher!

Many of us use our dishwasher to, well, clean our dishes. Especially after a meal. But there’s a new trend on the horizon that involves the opposite of this. It’s called ‘dishwasher cuisine’ and it is not a joke. Many people have decided that their oven is no longer up to scratch and are opting to give their dishwasher a try. So far, the most popular dish seems to be salmon. <blockquote style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/BsY73EHh4tn/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_medium=loading" data-instgrm-version="12"> <div style="padding: 16px;"> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"></div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"></div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"></div> </div> </div> <div style="padding: 19% 0;"></div> <div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"></div> <div style="padding-top: 8px;"> <div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div> </div> <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"><a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" rel="noopener" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BsY73EHh4tn/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_medium=loading" target="_blank">A post shared by Verlasso Salmon (@verlasso)</a> on Jan 8, 2019 at 2:02pm PST </div> </blockquote> The trick is wrapping your ingredients up in foil (so the food doesn’t get saturated by the water or have other bits of food ending up in the final meal) and letting the dishwasher do the rest. Consumer advocacy group <a href="https://www.choice.com.au/home-and-living/kitchen/dishwashers/articles/can-you-cook-dinner-in-your-dishwasher">Choice</a> has recommended that you put your ingredients that you want to cook in plastic zip lock bags so no extra food gets in there as well as loading up the dishwasher to keep the temperature stable. Keeping the temperature stable is ideal as this ensures your food is cooked properly. <blockquote style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/dZqjZdLZoE/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_medium=loading" data-instgrm-version="12"> <div style="padding: 16px;"> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"></div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"></div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"></div> </div> </div> <div style="padding: 19% 0;"></div> <div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"></div> <div style="padding-top: 8px;"> <div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div> </div> <a style="color: #000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none; word-wrap: break-word;" rel="noopener" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/dZqjZdLZoE/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_medium=loading" target="_blank">Forget the grill, here's how to cook salmon in the dishwasher. #howto #dishwashercooking #yum #nprlife</a> <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;">A post shared by <a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px;" rel="noopener" href="https://www.instagram.com/mstarbard/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_medium=loading" target="_blank"> Maggie Starbard</a> (@mstarbard) on Aug 24, 2013 at 8:30am PDT </div> </blockquote> However, as a dishwasher can reach temperatures of up to 62 degrees in a cycle, smaller portions of protein and vegetables are best. Choosing food that has a bit of wiggle room when it comes to time and temperature being a little bit out is ideal, as again, you’re cooking food in a dishwasher. Experts have compared it to the sous vide method. This method is a French style of cooking which involves vacuum sealing food in a plastic bag, submerging it in a bath of warm water and waiting for it to cook over time. Some have found it to be a productive way of cleaning up the mess they’ve made while preparing the meal whilst also getting a meal out of it. Is this something you’re willing to try? Have you heard of it before? Let us know in the comments.

Man discovers dishwasher trick that will change your life

An Irishman who shared the moment he realised dishwasher trays could be height adjusted on Twitter has gone viral – as thousands of others admit they had no idea about this dishwasher feature. Mike McLoughlin, from Ireland, tweeted that he'd lived in his present house for 10 years and assumed his dishwasher just couldn’t take his largest dinner plates. Instead, he had been handwashing his bigger plates for a decade. <img width="500" height="358" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7267656/dishwashing-hack-art4_500x358.jpg" alt="Dishwashing -hack -art4 (1)" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"/> But in fact, the dishwasher tray was simply set too high, and if he had known to adjust the height his plats could have fitted in easily. While many people couldn’t believe McLoughlin didn’t know this simple dishwasher feature, many thousands of others confessed they had no idea either and thanked McLoughlin for sharing the revelation.
