i've just had a brilliant idea

[lynda66]

was washing some spuds, well running water on them in a bucket, and realised how much i hate washing them, ..... so i've got them on a quick cold wash in the dishwasher .... wonder if it'll work or i'll be dishwasherless??

[squashysu]

ermmm do you want them to taste of rinse aid or salt, not a great idea lol !!!

Years ago I heard of a way of cooking a whole salmon in a dishwasher. It involved loads of tinfoil ......

Can't remember temperature or time though.

[lynda66]

don't be silly, i didn't stick any tablets in

[Nicos]

...and how much water does that use????

hmmmmm not sure i fancy my normally batterd fish done that way lol ..... see though, maybe it is a good idea ....... but ermmmmm why would you use a dishwasher and not the oven lol

oh yeah, hadn't thought of that, but was thinking if it works, i can just dig up all my veg and stick em in at once, therefore saving the sinkfuls of water, i'd use doing em in the sink

I have a peeler gadget for the Kenwood chef which I use when left with just wee spuddies that are a real pain to peel by hand. It is kinda noisy though.

Why not use the washing machine on a delicates cycle ? peel them aswell,,, guess what,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,yes I have done it and yes it does work,, now wander if a boil wash would make good mash ?

[allotmentlady]

HOW LAZY is this? BUT it has made me laugh, honestly, i knew you disliked housework but this is ridiculous lol

[janeyo]

Lynda, even if you didn't put a tablet in there will still be salt and rinse aid in the machine (if you remembered to fill them up when they wink at you)!

Why don't you go the whole hog and pop them in your bath water when you get out of it? They will be nice and clean for the next day

Won't the soil bung up the pipes/tubes/wotsits?

[lynda66]

salt? rinse aid?? ....... i just stick a tablet in ..... my dishwasher has never winked at me

now bath water would be ok, but you have to swish em round still

anyway, i now have a batch of lovely clean spuds, and the dishwashers not broken

I'm most impressed (i did rub the soil chunks off first, so no tons of mud in the bottom) .... sometimes i have great ideas ..... tis definitely one for permanent use

i was worried about the washing machine bruising them chilli, i can't eat em all that quick

[lynda66]

Won't the soil bung up the pipes/tubes/wotsits?

probably lol ....... but there wasn't tons of soil on em, and it's not leaked all over the kitchen so not blocked yet

OH Lynda you do make me laugh this has to be one of your greatest yet. Only you could think of doing this lol
