Do you have a dish washer?

[Guest]

And how important is it to you?

When we moved here there was one already fitted and it was a real luxury because we'd never had one before. We always said when it breaks we won't bother replacing it because we're perfectly capable of washing dishes and we have better things to spend our money on ect... Fast forward 4 years and it's conked out.

I'm getting another one, fuck it!

Our kitchen isn't big enough. If I ever get around to moving, I'd get one.

Yes, I've always lived in a house where we've had a dishwasher... Well, since 1970 at any rate.

Wouldn't be without one now.

Did they have them in 1970?

I've got one, No washing up everyday and the subsequent water use when you do. I have to consider the complexion of my hands as well

I don't have one... it'd drive me mad knowing there was dirty pots in there all day waiting to be washed!!

You soon get used to the sealed cupboard that magically makes everything clean again mentality, it took me halfway through the first wash

Yes, we had a huge Indesit washer back then. It took 12 place settings. Lasted for 20 years it did. Fabulous machine.

I don't put my pots and pans in. They're non-stick so it would ruin them. Same with glassware. I only do crockery and cutlery in mine.

Yes but my wife hasn't managed to teach me how to fill it.

My glasses come out great, are you keeping your salt topped up? No problem with non stick stuff either

It's an artform Jack.

Everyone learns the optimal loading technique for their own machine so they can get the most out of it... but it takes a few goes to get it just right.

I'm in a soft water area so I don't need to use salt. They would come out clean but after a while they would become cloudy and finely scratched.

It's complete insanity to put non-stick pans in a dishwasher. You will destroy them so unless you use cheap ones, you should stop. Non-stick pans require minimal effort when washing by hand so it's not worth putting them in the washer.

What a waste!!
Everything goes in mine. I even put the shelves out of the oven in sometimes, they come out sparkling!! Never had any problems with non-stick pans or glasses either. If it fits, it's going in...
