I live in the wrong century to have any sympathy for an item that does
not go in the dishwasher. There have been dishwashers in kitchens since
I was a kid and that's long enough to become a standard.

I get that some people want items that do not go into the machine. I do
not wish to deal with such a hassle. Every item in the kitchen that is
not allowed to go in the machine is an item I begrudge and avoid using.
There is always a functional replacement for it that does go in the
machine.

I get that some of the very best items don't go in the machine and that
I tend to suggest buying the best items. It's a point that I am
internally inconsistant about.
