When we wash dishes in the sink it takes about five minutes. During
that time, we don't generally want to use it for anything else.

I don't run mine often either, as you say it doesn't take a lot to wash
them, but I don't want to eat off paper plates for everyday. I feel the same
way about styrofoam cups etc.

Same here. I just loaded the last of the days dishes and have 17 plates
in it. That would cost Sheldon 1.36 + tax. Probably costs me a buck
with detergent to run the machine so it is not a cost factor. There are
serving bowls, utensils and the like.

Put in the detergent, push a button, come back to perfectly clean dishes
that takes less than 5 minutes to put away. Dave mentioned the time to
empty so I timed one load. 3 3/4 minutes.

Such studies are interesting... often interchanging the term "germs"
with "bacteria".

I use scrubber sponges in the bathroom sink. Those I use many times.
The only thing I use the bathroom sink for is to brush my teeth. To
wash my face, I wet a washcloth under hot water. Wash my face, splash
to rinse. I don't worry about germs on the washcloth, either, BTW.
They're my germs.

I occasionally use a [different, of course!] scrubber sponge in the
kitchen for something with stuck-on food; it gets tossed in the
dishwasher. Mostly I use dish cloths which go in the washing machine
with strong detergent along with the other hot water items..

I'm not terribly worried about germs. IMO, these days we live in an
extremely *germophobic* society.

I'm not sitting around calculating water temperatures or counting germs
per washed plate. If you have some medical condition which requires a
sterile environment, good luck with that.

The world is dirty. You may be able to keep germs to a minimum in your
home with a little common sense and detergent, but they're everywhere
dontcha know. You track in germs every time you enter your house.
Touch anything outside.

Of course if you never leave the house you may be protected...

I don't calculate the number and types of items I put in the dish
washer, but when it's full I run it. I think I mentioned somewhere
before that I put EVERYTHING from the kitchen in there. I wash
absolutely nothing by hand. The racking system and tub in a Bosch is
slightly smaller than that of a KA.

Ahh yes, my Bosch is quite small. Much smaller than that other dishwasher I
had.

Virtually anything used in the the kitchen or from the dinner table.
I wash NOTHING by hand.


Wayne Boatwright

I can't say there is nothing I wash by hand, only if it is too big to fit in
the DW. I always try to use pans et al that fit into it so there is never
much

Same as you Ed, could not be more simple and convenient even for a
household comprised of one person. It might seem more likely that I
would be the one using paper plates but I cannot imagine doing that,
in fact, can't remember the last time I had to eat off a paper plate.

I did notice when we first put a dishwasher in that we were better off
health-wise. One of five could have a cold/'flu and it did not
automatically wind up infecting the lot of us.

I don't think the cold/flu catching has much to do with a dishwasher, but it
couldn't hurt.

And there ya go whining again. oh those evil germs. I hand wash
and so wonder how I've survived all these years.

I even gave ferrets access to my dinner plates for
"all you can eat." Once they checked it out, ate what
they wanted, I would eat. Evidently ferret germs are
not so bad. eh?

We have no cloth towels in the kitchen. The machine drys the dishes in
there, anything washed by hand air dries. Dish towels are sometimes
used to dry hands and are potentially a source of cross contamination.
Paper towels do the job.

It wasn't that one or other of us would catch a cold/flu but it no
longer did the complete rounds of the family, one member alone could
have it.

I have a hand towel that hangs by the sink, and a dish-drying
towel elsewhere. I wash my sharp knives by hand and dry them
immediately. I don't often wash anything else by hand, but
today I had a plastic container for which there wasn't
enough room left in the dishwasher. I washed it by hand
and left it to air dry.

I'm not that concerned about bacteria, although I'm pretty
cautious about the drain in the kitchen sink. If a spoon
falls down into the garbage disposal, it gets a jolly good
rinse in hot water before I do anything else with it.

ok I read that sentence a couple of times and I'm pretty sure it is

clearly we are in the midst of a PUBIC HEALTH CRISIS

That's an awful lot of plates in a day for two people... are you sure
you are just two living there? Even without using paper plates the
most dishes we would generate is 4-6... at most two per meal. I wash
by hand, along with a pot or two it takes me five minutes to wash our
two dishes and utensils, dry, and put away. If we used the dishwasher
it would take us a week to fill it. We used to use the dishwasher for
company but we don't have more than 2-4 for company anymore, and then
we'd use the good dishes, silverware, and glassware, those I carefully
wash by hand... dishwashing compound etches fine dishes, silverware,
and glassware. I have two sets of fine glassware that I used to
machine wash, over a couple years it became quite cloudy... we will
still use it but it'd be embarrassing for company use.

And to me seeing a sink with dirty dishes and a dishwasher with dirty
dishes reminds me of an unflushed toilet. I see nothing negative
about paper plates, they are cleaner than dishes fresh from the
dishwasher... cleanliness is the main reason fast food joints use
paper/plastic throwaways.

I can assure you that using hand washed dishes does not cause colds or
you found the cure for the common cold. Paper plates are not just
sanitary, they are medically sterile.

Most germs are airborne, they are mostly transmitted by the air we
breathe... we sterilize the air in our house, the central A/C employs
a UV lamp (actually two UV lamps), the air in our house is constantly
filtered and sterilized.

The 17 is for two days. Breakfast can be 3 plates as if I make bacon or
sausage it will go on one to the table. Same with some side dishes at
dinner.

I have both my mother's china and my grandmother's. Neither is
dishwasher safe, neither has been used in at least 6 years. Our
everyday dishes are nice enough to use for company. We don't entertain
as much theses days too. When we pass on our kids will sell both sets
for $3 in a garage sale.

Never, if they don't get washed the residue welds on from the heat cycle.

That wouldn't work at all in CA coming off several seasons of drought,
though this year has been much better, I fill both sinks half way when I
finish cooking etc., wash in one, rinse in the other. Not much water used at
all, but we don't have a lot of dishes to do now with just the two of us.

I know you can't handle criticism, but it's grammatically faulty in
such a way that it's not understandable.

He converted me, too. The new dishwasher just wasn't getting stuff
properly clean - Ed suggested Platinum, I tried it, it works really well.

Glad you both like it. It works so well I won't even try anything else
to save a buck or two. Just now worth the chance of getting stuck with
a brand that does not do the job. Finis has a new formula now but
unless they give ma a sample I'm not going to invest my money to check
it out.

Nor with mine. If you happen to have something that is really burned
on, there is a product that you can spray on, let stand, then wash,
and it removes even the worst burned on food. It's called Dawn Rapid
Dissolver. It works on glass bakeware, porcelain coated cast iron,
sainless steel, etc. Not recomended for aluminum.

Oh I didn't realise he was referring to burnt stuff. I don't burn my pans
so perhaps that is why I don't have a problem.

Dishwashers use far less water to do the same amount of dishes.

One of my cats, Jilly, eats from my plate along with me... especially
roast chicken... we both prefer dark meat but she takes the best
parts... I guess if I catch a cold I'll make an appointment with the
Vet. I don't think which method one uses to wash dishes has a whit to
do with one's health issues. I also think all that hand washing
that's touted has a whit to do with catching colds either... has to do
with whom one associates, whose air one shares. Hanging in crowds
elevates ones odds of catching whatever is going around... that's what
my doctors says... during flu season he insists all patients in the
waiting room wear a paper mask. He says constant hand washing is BS
unless one is a thumb sucker/nose picker. Of course hand washing is
always beneficial prior to handling food.
Properly cooking food kills germs, which is why restaurants won't
serve burgers other than well done. Meat sections are sterile
internally so if one grinds meat themself they can safely cook it as
rare as they like, or eat it raw.
