dishwasher pasteurized cider

[domingo]

...my goodness, why did I never think of this method, it sounds too easy to be true...

re: plastic. liquid at 160F+ = a lot more thermal energy than just plastic and air at 160F. in an open container, this energy is released through evaporation. in a closed container, it stays inside in contact with the plastic. no different than stovetop pasteurizing with plastic though. does that work?

has anyone had much luck with this method?
I wonder if this could be a viable way of pasteurizing. Instead of an expensive pasteurization machine or even a hot bath, you could get a bunch of dish washers going!

I did it with one batch of cider and it worked.
