‘Dishwasher Cooking’ Is Apparently A Thing That People Are Doing Now…

Dishwashers have been used for one general purpose for a long time now. But people who grew bored of the appliance only accomplishing one task have found a genius way of utilizing it for even more.

Enter: dishwasher cooking.

Yes, it sounds gross and soapy and not very healthy, but if you do it correctly, you can prepare some delicious meals in the dishwasher while your plates and utensils get clean, too!

What you need to do in order for this to work is place your food in an air-tight container. Turn the dishwasher on its highest setting and it’ll do the work for you!

The hot water rushing around the containers means that everything from vegetables to seafood and even poultry is cooked evenly!

Unbelievable!

Yes, you can even cook lobster in the dishwasher.
