Washing dishes
« on: May 10, 2014, 05:42:13 am »
Do you prefer to wash dishes yourself or use your dish washer?

I may have used my used my dish  washer 5 times in a year. I am so use to
washing my own dishes.

I don't wash dishes very  much....Maybe a spoon or cup.
It's just me and there is a dining room in the building. I go there to pick up my meals or stay and have lunch and dinner with friends.

I use my dishwasher for all utensils and plates and do the pots and pans by hand. The latter take up too much space in the dishwasher, so it costs too much to wash them that way. I don't mind doing the dishes because my husband does all the food shopping and all the cooking, which I really like a lot.

before we moved into our new home we had a dish washer and we used it all the time in our new home the kitchen is much smaller and their is no dish washer so i have become the dish washer and i have noticed that things are much cleaner now that i wash them by hand and its much cheaper.

I wash most of my dishes in the dish washer. My pots and a few other items I have are not dishwasher safe.

The bowl to my food processor buy hand. It would cost 30 dollars to replace so hand washing it extends its life.

Ii hand wash my glasses and larger cooking wear and if the water is still clean I will wash a few of the smaller dishes.  I clean as I cook.  My wife dirties a ton of dishes when she cooks and leaves them everywhere which is a tad bit annoying.  My kids don't seem to know where the dishwasher is...even though it is only fourteen inches from the sink.  Rinsing dishes, prior to putting them in the dishwasher appears to be an alien concept to my family. Three weeks ago I gave up and started putting the un-rinsed dishes in the dishwasher.  They come out with hardened gook. I put them away in that state thinking that maybe they will get the idea. Not the case...I live with a bunch of pigs.

Since I don't have a dish washer, I do them myself all the time.  I don't really mind though.  There are only 2 of us and there aren't a lot like when my kids were still at home.

I prefer washing dishes versus the dishwasher. We don't have that many dishes, so it's a waste to let them pile up in the dishwasher when they can be washed and put away.

I like to wash dishes when ever I can, it's like a zen zone out thing.
I have a dish washer, but prefer to just wash the dishes.  I have a scrub wand thing that is filled with dish soap, so easy to wash them. Then I have a microfiber dish cloth that I put the dishes on.

I should just stick them in the washer, the washer even has a garbage disposal in it, so I don't even need to rinse them off, just put them in.   Oh well........   :monkey:

My dishwasher has been broken for a long time so I wash by hand.
