i've just had a brilliant idea

[Alice]

How many people are you cooking for ? For the normal household less than a minute would rinse the potatoes in the sink . Too much trouble ?

[Flummery]

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

Just going to say that. I wash spuds in a bowl then throw the water (and soil remnants) on my garden. I'd hate them to bung up the drains.

I sometimes wash the tines for my Mantis Tiller in the dishwasher. Have to try and make sure mrs snuffer doesn't catch me though. I wrote about her doing just that on here once. Boy was I in trouble.

only me, there was a bucketfull i dug up the other day ....... they've been sat in the bucket since lol ....... i'm not THAT lazy, that's what peelers are for so you don't need to wash em, but i didn't wanna shove em in the fridge full of soil, cos then i get annoyed cos they are dirty and don't get round to eating em ........ and some of em are too small to peel,ok, I am THAT lazy lol

anyway they taste yummy, the dishwashers busy washing pots, and all is well in Lynda land

see, there are some advantages to living on your own

[lynda66]

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

see i do have good ideas, and now you too can have beautiful clean veg

And I thought I was mad when I microwave compost to try and sterilize it and kill the weed seeds

[lynda66]

now i think cooking compost is weird

[kirsty b]

I've been thinking about using the dishwasher to clean pots before new sowings.

[allotmentlady]

Lets be serious the large majority of us on ere are weird lol

of course myself not included lol

[MaureenHall]

Speak for yourself! I'm not weird, a little strange maybe but definitely not weird

[lynda66]

i'm not weird either, i'm just me ....... and i'm unique

i'm really bad cos i just chucked compost in last years without washing em, but i spose if you wanna wash em, it will save getting your hands wet

[CoraxAurata]

LOL Linda you are truly unique - of course my dishwasher not only washes the spud but peels them too..................................... - he is of the non-mechanical two legged variety

[lynda66]

i had one of them ......... he left home, but he did buy me the dishwasher for my birthday last year just before he left
