Dishwashers
37 Answers
Sister wants a dishwasher 'to save all that pan scrubbing'.
Told her it doesn't in fact save all that scrubbing, and that you have to do all that scrubbing before putting pots and pans into it, or at least WE do that.
Are we wrong? Do modern dishwashers cope with bits of burnt-on food on saucepans, or hard bits on plates?
What do other users do?

The most I might ever need to do is to leave a roasting tin full of soapy water overnight to soak before putting it in the dishwasher the next day....and what hard bits on plates?
Well, some of our pans - stainless-steel roasting pans, for example - always need a soak and then a scrub /scour before going in the dishwasher. No, mugs and plates just need a rinse... but I hear tales of people just bunging in all their utensils straight off the stove/table.
All I can think is that their filters must be regularly bunged-up with detritus, and Mrs B says on the very few occasions when we've forgotten to clean properly first, we end up with grease on the dishwasher walls, too.

"So lets say that's 5 mins a day wasted. Say you start washing up at 16, by the time you're 66 (assuming your washing up on 300 days a year which seems fair) over 50 years that's 1250 hours or 52 days! Your choice"
I spy a 'so'. Anyway, how long does it take to load the damned thing then dab the bottoms of mugs and such to get rid of the unevaporated water, then you have to put all the stuff away as usual.
No labour saving, just a different argument/discussion about who's doing the dishes in the end.
