Dishwasher-Cooked Chicken – Dumb Life Hacks

This chick on Cafemom decided she would embrace the world of multitasking and cook her dinner while washing her pots and pans. The instructions were simple; drizzle olive oil over chicken cutlet, seal in aluminum foil, insert into top rack of the dishwasher and allow the chicken to remain in the washer during the drying phase.

She promises the chicken was delicious (beef sucks) and I believe her, but I'm not willing to experiment in the petri dish known as my dishwasher in my kitchen.

I love life hacks, or tips to make life easy, but dumb life hacks annoy me. I can see how knowing alternate ways to cook supper might come in handy if say your stove is broken and someone held a gun to your head demanding to be served chicken.

However, smart life hacks, amaze me and leave me feeling a little dumb that I never thought of the idea before. Here are a few of my favorite:

1. Remove funky bathtub mold with cotton balls and bleach.

2. Just in time for flip-fop weather, shaving cream and Listerine can help remove the dead skin from your busted up heels.

3. How to unshrink your clothes. (What?!!)

4. How to clean your home in only 15 minutes each day.

5. Easy way to break in new shoes.
