Just pour it directly into the bowl: putting it in the tank first is not necessary.
my daughter picked that up in college, & tried to implement that in our home. i did freak out & require a flush each time, BUT the new washer makes up for it, it cut the water bill by a third! so i'm kind of balanced out, lol
