Things You Never Realized You're Doing Wrong

Here are some things you never realized you're doing wrong!

Legal Stuff.

It's not recommended to cook any food in the dishwasher. Ann Reardon (a food scientist, How to Cook That) tested this hack and found that while the dishwasher does get hot, it doesn't stay hot long enough to kill any bacteria that may be present in the food.

If you want to get the last Pringle out then just turn the container upside-down, why haven't people thought of this yet.

Not everyone has a dishwasher. Some of us are our own dishwasher.

🤔 so... am I the only one who just dumps the lower half of the Pringles chips straight into my hand a few at a time 😂

We haven’t been doing things the wrong way. We just do things how we want to do them. 😏😏😏

The other way to prevent bruised thumbs when hammering: hold the nail with pliers. Also helps guide it in straight.
A problem with that hammer shown is it's hard to get nail in exact position if you're trying to be precise.
Just hold the nails with rat-nosed pliers, works great!

15:59 - Back in the mid-1980’s, my mother cut off a finger using this hack. Frozen containers get slippery on their sides, especially as they sit on your cutting board. I’ll never forget the Thanksgiving my family spent sitting in a hospital waiting room as my mom underwent emergency surgery to reattach her finger. Suffice to say we never ate ice cream or frozen yogurt this way ever again. Come to think of it, “hack” is exactly the right name for this technique. Use a heated spoon or simply wait a few minutes and the ice cream is perfectly manageable without the hassle of accidentally cutting off any body parts.

The dishwasher hack would work good for a preparing for a party or something, but yeah, like lotsa people mentioned, you only want to wash fruits and veggies right before you eat them or or they're gonna get weird, fast.

Don’t wash fruit in the dishwasher. Dishwashers recirculate water and the dishwasher can have junk in crevices.

[lokuajc]

I will NEVER stick food to be eaten inside the dishwasher.... That's disgusting!

[tylerkrug]

Who the hell eats that many fruits and vegetables? That's like a months worth of produce for me

[norma]

You should not wash those fruit you're not going to eat right away. If you wash your fruit they will spoil faster. It's better to keep your unwashed fruit in the fridge and then wash only that piece of fruit before eating.

The condiment holder thing is dirt old. I was a kid in the '90s and we tried this. So this could’ve been way before that. I only know as far back as the '90s. We quit doing this 'cause it was harder the condiment cup since it wasn't a cup anymore. It held only a little bit more when opened, then if anymore, it would be messy. The condiment would get on the fingers (since the holder moved around and it needed to be held down). It would also get on anything the holder was sitting on. So yes, opening the condiment holder up means more space for the condiments, but it's harder to carry without getting any condiments on your fingers/hand and or whatever it's sitting on. It also looked like in the video used, that the condiment holder didn't have much more in it than when it was closed in a bowl shape. Which defeats the purpose of having it open except for getting all of the condiment out of the cup. Open it up when there's a little bit left on edges.

Maybe the dishwasher trick works but I think I’m gonna stick too cleaning my fruits the old fashioned way 😂

[russellconn]

I feel I have to add my voice to the others already saying this, because its worth repeating under no circumstances should you ever EVER wash your fruit in the dishwasher.

[justinnovator]

We aren't doing stuff wrong, these people just have a creative different way of doing stuff right

[green]

We all know that person who basically uses the entire ketchup bottle for one fry.

Even with vinegar please don’t wash your fruits and veg in the dishwasher. The vinegar can not kill everything! Even though it’s a dishwasher, bacteria and food particles can still build up inside of it. Just put your fruit and veg in a colander, spray them with some Fit or other fruit and veg wash, and rinse with cold water. 😉👍🏻
Oh, and you don’t have to add water to the pan with your pizza. Just put the slice in, put the heat on medium low-medium, and put a top on it. The heat will melt the cheese, and the crust will stay crispy instead of soggy, and moist. Who the heck wants a moist crust? 🤢

I'm sure it has already been posted, but 14:00 also applies to (quarts of) engine oil. They're shaped that way so that the spout is farther from the fill port.

I tried the chip bag thing awhile back. It doesn't really work unless you have one of the huge "family sized" bags. It looks so easy in theory but in practice it's a whole different thing. I would honestly love to know if anyone has used that "hack" successfully!
