Rediscovering Domesticity: Cooking in the Dishwasher?

Wednesday, July 28, 2010

Cooking in the Dishwasher?

Imagine this scene:  you and your family are invited over to a friend's house for dinner.  You all sit down at the table and anxiously await a scrumptious meal.  Your host goes to the kitchen to get the main course out of the.... DISHWASHER?  What in the world? 

Yes, my friends, apparently it is possible to cook lasagna in the dishwasher.

I have not tried this but saw it on a great blog I discovered through the 31 Days to a Better Blog challenge.  Zeemaid from In the Mommy Trenches posted this link to cooking lasagna in your dishwasher.  While you do dishes.  With soap.

Are you brave enough to try it?  I don't know if I am - at least not with soap the first time!  Let me know if you do try it!

Even if I had a dishwasher, I'm not brave enough to try it!

I'd be curious to see what else I could make. In theory, you could cook anything without meat. I actually am thinking about trying a side dish like steamed veggies or kabobs at first that way if it didn't work, it wouldn't totally ruin dinner.

Oh, that is just too cool not to try! (When I saw the title I thought you might be heading down a more conventional path...us Southern girls know you can wash fresh turnip and collard greens best in the dishwasher!)

Daisy - I had no idea that could be done! Off to google it!

Ha ha...umm...I think I will stick with the conventional method for now. :) But good to know it can be done if I'm ever in a pinch.

How crazy is that! I just watched her video and can't believe it really does work! I don't have a dishwasher so don't foresee the opportunity to try it out...but this was simply amazing!

That. Is. Crazy! I like to multi-task, but really don't think I'd try this one out lol. My family's safe if I did want to though - I don't own a dishwasher.

#31DBBB challenge visiting. Peace. ;)

I've also heard of canning in the dishwasher. But was too scared and just bought the pressure cooker instead. Yikes!

Eek! I am afraid I don't see the point. I mean, you're risking all that food!

Interesting! I don't think I'll be trying it though.

Another SITS girl checking in!

Audra - This post was absolutely SHOCKING to me! Hmmm... I've been know to try new ideas, but this one takes the cake on the most outrageous in my book! How on earth and what about the soap?? I don't get it. I must look this up.

Thanks for sharing. Hugs.

I got an email from a PR person about cooking lasagne in the dishwasher. It had a picture. It didn't look yummy. WHY? I don't need to do that, it is not THAT hard to make lasagne.
