Roy, Im ONLY going to say YES it will work (and NOT backfeed the utility) if you throw the panels main circuit breaker and then backfeed it via that dryer receptacle, but IM NOT gonna say its the best or legal.

If you backfeed a receptacle thats 240 volts having BOTH phases you will energize both phases and legs of the panel, of course. The Generator would have to have a 240 volt output with a common Neutral to feed both legs of 120 plus any 240 volt appliances but dont forget the amps required to start motor loads like a fridge is much higher then required to keep it running i.e the generator has to have sufficient capacity to start such loads.
