Czech chefs and home cooks have discovered a new, efficient method of cleaning potatoes, which facilitates the preparation of meals for large groups. This innovative method consists of using a dishwasher, which saves the time and effort required for traditional hand washing.
An innovative method of washing potatoes
The key to success is placing the potatoes in the upper basket of the dishwasher. The potatoes are stacked so that there is enough space for water to pass between them, and then a cold water rinse cycle is run without detergent.
Advantages of the method
The main advantage of this method is saving time and reducing physical effort. The dishwasher perfectly cleans the potatoes from dirt and soil, while you can devote your time to other kitchen preparations.
Protection of potatoes from blackening
When it comes to preventing potatoes from turning black, immersing them in a bowl of cold water can be effective. Cold water slows down the oxidation process, keeping the potatoes bright. Adding an acid, such as lemon juice or vinegar, to the water can further help preserve the color of the potatoes.
How to properly cook potatoes
To achieve the perfect texture and taste, it is important to choose the right type of potato, ideally waxy yellow or red, which remain soft and creamy after cooking. Potatoes should be cooked for 10 to 15 minutes for smaller pieces or 20 to 25 minutes for larger ones. Correctness of cooking can be verified by piercing the potato with a fork.

Expanding the possibilities of using the dishwasher
The dishwasher is not only a practical helper in the kitchen for washing dishes, but as this potato trend shows, it can be used for other purposes as well. For example, in some cases, dishwashers are used to sterilize dishes during canning, which is an effective method to ensure the safety and cleanliness of jars.
High temperatures in the dishwasher ensure effective sterilization, which is key for long-term preservation of preserves. This alternative way of using the dishwasher shows how household appliances can become multifunctional tools that make household work easier and save time.
