It's actually ignorant to use a dishwasher on sanitize like an
autoclave unless each is immediately sealed like bandaids. No one's
dish cupboard is sanitary anyway, and I've never seen anyone gown up
in a hazmat suit to set their table.
Our dishes are sanitary anyway, we use a lot of paper plates, and
during the manufacturing process paper is sterilized. And some may
think it's wasteful but paper plates cost less than washing dishes, we
buy them in a carton of 1,000 costing less than $10... and after using
them they get reused to feed the cats... and then they go into the
recyclables bin. At one time I used to use sissors to cut paper
plates into bits and place them in our composter. We have two
composters, one is used mainly for the paper that's been through our
shredder. We bought a micro shredder from Amazon, works beautifully.
makes the tiniest bits and does up to 8 pages at a time.
The best shredder in the universe:
