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

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.

[–] Force_majeure122@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's the sous-vide version of the dishwasher one, more advanced and better results

[–] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Tomato juice is actually amazing for removing smells
