Lightly Steam Veggies
While we’re on the subject of what your dishwasher can do to your food, we might as well talk about how it can double as a vegetable steamer. Now, don’t expect a miracle when using your dishwasher to steam vegetables since the hot tap water never reaches boiling point.
To lightly steam vegetables, place them inside a mason jar, put them on the top rack of your dishwasher, and run a full cycle using nothing but hot tap water. One cycle is all it takes to lightly steam your vegetables, and they’ll still maintain their satisfying crunch with every bite.
