NWFlyer 2 #2 December 19, 2005 I'd go for full-ish. I don't stuff it to the gills (Dad, Mom, I'm looking at you) but I also won't run it if there's an echo in there."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

Icon134 0 #7 December 19, 2005 I despise doing the dishes... I love to cook... but the dishes always seem to pile up in the sink... What I need is a hot girlfriend/wife that's willing to do them naked for me... When I do run the dishwasher it is usually full though I tend not to over fill it as the dishwashing doesn't seem as effective when its done... I learned this from a roommate I once had...Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnRich 4 #9 December 19, 2005 You're supposed to wash the dishes by hand before putting them in the dishwasher, to preclude the crustiness. The dishwasher is just temporary storage, until you turn the dishwasher on for final sterilization, so that you can put them back in the cabinets where they belong. But in a pinch, feel free to pull something vital back out of the dishwasher and use it again, skipping the sterilization cycle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LisaM 0 #10 December 19, 2005 I actually do mine every other night before bed. It's usually fairly full. But unless it can make it through an entire day of dishes the next day, it's getting started. Mornings before everyone else is up is the ONLY time I have to empty it. Maybe it's the only time i have patience (read: still half asleep) to empty it. ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder?

The dishwasher is just temporary storage, until you turn the dishwasher on for final sterilization, so that you can put them back in the cabinets where they belong. Yep, you have to scrub off anything still sticking to the dishes and utensils, as dishwashers don't really get that off. All they're good for is sterilizing... however, sometimes I scrub them too good, and the dishwasher's not full enough to run it before I go to bed. Next day I can find myself wondering whether the fuck I ran the dishwasher or not because the damn dishes look clean!

NlghtJumper 0 #14 December 20, 2005 I guess Im just lazy... I never do the wash before putting in the dishwasher thing. I mean, we scrape our plates when we are done eating, and then in the dishwasher. Then again. My parents have gotten so lazy that they dont use a real plate if they dont have to.

shropshire 0 #20 December 20, 2005 1 x litre of Absolute 1 x packet (150g Wethers Originals) I put them into a 1.5 ltre SIGG bottle (Screw top!)and then in with the pots (the toffees melt into the vodka) - there's pobably [much] easier ways of doing this but this is the way that I was told a few years ago... It also gets blokes to use the white goods in the kitchen. When cooled down place in the freeze.... I perfer mine ice cold (unlike my Beer!!). It comes out 'gloopy'.

mdrejhon 8 #23 December 20, 2005 QuoteYou're supposed to wash the dishes by hand before putting them in the dishwasherI treat it more as a washer. But for rinsing, jam, tomato paste, and stuck melted cheese are fair game to me. Those tend to crust and rot. But if it's just crumbs, butter, and whatever easily dissolvable in high temperature water, no rinse necessary. I'll fill the dishwasher without a rinse first. Modern enzyme-based detergents work very well nowadays (According to Consumer Reports, nowadays it doesn't matter TOO MUCH anymore which detergent you use, as long as it is enzyme based). I suddenly noticed the difference in incomplete cleanliness when I used an old-style liquid detergent which months later I found out was at bottom of their ratings. It was a Costco generic brand that did not use enzymes. Switched to a supermarket generic brand (or occasionally the more expensive advertised-on-TV brands), and have had no problems since. I often start the dishwasher at just 75% full if the kitchen is all cleared up and a category is lacking (i.e. we are out of clean glasses), or that I am not going to be home for a while. Otherwise, I wait until it's more or less full (90-100%) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnRich 4 #25 December 20, 2005 QuoteNext day I can find myself wondering whether the fuck I ran the dishwasher or not because the damn dishes look clean! Mine has a little hinged lid that fits over the soap dispenser. You close it after loading soap and before starting a cleaning cycle. So if that lid pops open automatically when you open the front door, then it means that the load of dishes was just washed. If that lid is already open, then there wasn't a wash cycle done. What's annoying is when you run out of something before you've filled up the washer to run a cleaning cycle. You hate to waste water by running less than a full load, but you don't want to use something over again that hasn't been washer-cleaned. So you have to maintain just the right assortment of plates, bowls, saucers, cups, glasses and silverware so that you run out of everything at the same time, just as the washer is full. Now that is true dishwashing success! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
