Ever gaze at a load of dirty underwear swirling in a washing machine and think, "This fine device would make excellent soup." For those forward thinkers who answered with an enthusiastic "YES," you'll be happy to know that it's very possible to cook a hearty meal in the same receptacle that cleans your gym socks (for flavor).

Promising to be a "fool-proof recipe," RocketNews24 recommends a front-loading washer for this "washing machine potato and pork rib soup." Ingredients include potatoes, pork ribs, ginger and salt for taste. Set the washer to 95 degrees Celsius and to not drain the water, then hit start. While the times for each cycle varies according to the machine, the one in the video below took about 1 hour to finish, well, cooking.

When it's ready, waterfall that shit.

Look! Edible soup! The taste report: "potatoes are soft and fluffy to the core, and the pork ribs were soft with just the right amount of chewiness."

The downside to this "food hack" is that it'll ruin your washing machine, clogging up vents with chunks of potato and bits of meat. In that case, you might wanna try the ol' stove and fire method. For nostalgic reasons.
