Serious Q - do you use your dishwasher?

[BarkingGhostar]

Three quarters of my household's eating activity occurs outside the home. Of the remaining, less than half requires cooking. As such, even when the dishwasher is run, which is at least on a weekly basis, it has done so with surprisingly good results. And this is from a Whirlpool dishwasher that came new with the new house back in 2000. I always run it on the second strongest level of service, which takes about 90 minutes, but like almost all home chores I treat it as a passive task. I start it, go do other stuff, and come back around to it when it is done. So the amount of time I spend doing dishes is based solely on loading/unloading the dishwasher, which is a lot less than handwashing.

I throw everything in there even pots and pans, just not cast iron stuff. Run it maybe once a week once it's full or mostly full. It's a life saver. I see it the same way as a washer and dryer for laundry. I'd hate having to do that manually.

Next house I might even have two dishwashers. Load one, run it, use dishes directly from it and put in the other one when done. Efficency!
