Today I found a very amazing thing, the aunt next door can wash dishes for 60 years without using dish soap, but the pots and pans at home are very clean, and every piece is sparkling. My aunt told me that her method of washing dishes not only does not hurt her hands, but also makes them whiter and more tender.
This made me very curious, so I went to her house to have a look, and found that her dishwashing method is really very useful, and I will share it with you today.
The first method is to first put the rice in the rice cooker, add an appropriate amount of water, and then wash it several times with your hands. She told me that it would be fine to wash it three times at a time, and then collect the washing water. The rice grown in our countryside is not bleached, so the water used to wash the rice is very thick.
The aunt will pour half of the rice washing water into the green vegetables and kimchi, which can remove pesticide residues; The other half is kept. After the meal, she will heat up the remaining rice washing water.
Next, I will introduce you to the specific steps of washing dishes. When the weather is cold, the oil in the bowl is easy to solidify, especially the lard is more difficult to wash off. If you have the conditions, you can wash it with hot water, and if you don't have hot water, you can use the aunt method.
Heat the rice washing water to thirty or forty degrees, and then pour the hot rice washing water into the sink, but be careful not to burn your hands.
Then we need a cotton rag to wash the inside and outside of the dish with rice washing water. In our rural area, there are many people who use a loofah rag to wash dishes, and the effect is also very good, even very dirty dishes and pans can be washed very cleanly, and it does not hurt hands at all, and there will be no chemical residue.
In the future, we will never waste rice washing water again. This rice washing water can not only be used to wash pots and pans, but also to wash fruits, pickled vegetables to remove pesticide residues, and can even be used to water flowers or pickled cabbage. Dishes that have been washed with rice washing water only need to be rinsed with clean water.
Rinse under hot or cool water and it will be very clean inside and out. This method of washing dishes with rice washing water is really practical and saves money, and it is very clean and does not hurt your hands.
The second method of washing dishes. First, put the bowl after the meal in the sink, and then rinse off some surface residue and vegetable scraps with water. After cleaning the bowl of residue and broth, you can pour boiling water to dissolve some of the fat.
Next, use a larger piece of orange peel to wipe the surface of the bowl, which works very well for both cleaning and degreasing. Check the washed dishes and see that all the grease on the surface is clean, which is a common method used in the days when there was no dish soap.
These two methods are really cost-effective and practical compared to buying dish soap to wash dishes. Over the course of a year, you can save a lot of money and protect your hands at the same time. Since learning these ways to wash dishes, we haven't used dish soap in our family again, these methods are really very useful, come and try them!
