I just read an article promising to tell me 11 things I did not know I could wash in the washing machine. They failed to have even one thing I did not know. Damn clickbait.
Did you know you can wrap a piece of salmon up in alfoil, chuck it in with your clothes, run a delicate cycle, and voila! Perfectly cooked salmon every time
Omg perfect use case for my dill cream sauce scented fabric softener
A perfect illustration of the difference between "can" and "should".
Many years ago Peter g’day Russel g’day Clarke cooked a bunch of stuff in a B-double truck engine. Have later seen other variants of the idea, all bad.
I'm not sure what we're reading here. Is anyone else sure super sure about about this approach to cooking fish. Is it the dishwasher or washing machine.
This one is best done in the tumble dryer in my experience
It's the sous-vide version of the dishwasher one, more advanced and better results
I had it wrong this entire time!
I’ve heard you can cook it in the engine as you drive, too. Wrapped in tinfoil on top of the engine, arrive at destination and dinner is done!
#5 Don't wash your fruit and vegetables in there with your smelly socks
The best method is to place the fruit and veg iniside the socks rather than washing them seperately, to provide protection to the fruit whilst saving on water.
Dirty sock is a desirable flavour in Suffolk style cider
hells yes, make the bacteria fight it out
You risk the fruit and veg suiciding against the drum. Tomatoes wouldn't stand a chance with my man's socks.
Tomato juice is actually amazing for removing smells
I'll give you one you probably don't know - you can put your dirty dishes in the washing machine!
I mean you'll need to buy new dishes, and probably a new washing machine, but doesn't mean you can't wash them in there! Works for any electronics too!
Please do not use this method on muddy pets
Or from experience, toddlers.
That's how this pom ended up being shipped to Australia in the first place.
(I am hopefully very obviously joking)
I've got another one for you.
Did you know that if you crank up the machines RPM as high as it'll go then you've got a high speed cheese wheel grater?
My bucket list involves a wheel of cheese big enough that this would make sense
Hilariously one Christmas, my partner and I we were buying cheese at the Vic markets; it was chaos as you'd expect.
I was paying and my partner was stressed and packing it all in to our bags.
Long story short: they'd placed our items on top of a cheese wheel large enough for this to work and so for 4 minutes of our life we could've tried this.
(We returned it of course and they had hilariously already replaced it with another wheel and were just as confused as us)
