Mother always said keep the cucumbers scrupulouly clean. After all they will end up in the mouth!

Nice! Let me put bloody,urine soaked feces-laden underwear and swat sained tshirts in there and then place my food in there.

No thanks.
 
Oh brother. That was agitating at gentle speed. If she put it on regular speed, they'd get automatically sliced, diced,a nd shredded.

After five years the job still sucks.

My mom made dill pickles too, and always used the washer tub but only as a holding tank. The cukes still got scrubbed with a brush. Maybe this was because we had the '67 Signature/Norge that didn't know the meaning of gentle. It sure could hold a lot of cucumbers, though, which is the only good thing I can say about that machine.
 
Clothes washer

There is a reason why it's called a "clothes washer" because you're supposed to wash clothes in it, Other wise it would be called a Whirlpool Super Capacity Plus Three Speed Combination CUCUMBER Washer!!!!! WHY? WHY? WHY?

Didn't realize people still did this in the age of (your fave bacterial pariah here).

My mom was coerced into trying this once, circa '73, when she and our next door neighbor (who also had a 1960 Kenmore; the alphabet model) made a huge batch of pickles together at our house. Blanche (the neighbor) used this method all the time and insisted they do it, much to my mom's horror.

I remember her running a Rinse & Spin cycle with a little liquid chlorine bleach before putting the cucumbers in for their wash-up. I also recall them adding a couple of flour-sack dish towels to help pull off dirt and spines from the cukes.

She never did it again. But she did have to admit it worked well and saved them a lot of scrubbing time.

I'm with the general consensus: Washing machines are for clothes.
 
Mammy's Shanty restaurant above Atlanta used a modified front loader to wash "greens" because front loaders excelled at sand removal. I ran a bleach rinse through a friend's Kenmore before using it to rinse and spin spinach for the salad for a huge party. Nobody got sick or died.
