Washing dishes
« on: January 09, 2014, 07:55:29 am »
How do you wash your dishes by hand or dishwasher? I wash pots, knives with wood handles by hand and the rest went to dishwasher.

Depending on how many dishes I have,,,,,,   small amount I wash by hand.  Love to watch the birds in the back yard while I am doing the dishes.  If I have a quite a few dishes I fill up the dishwasher and let it run. There is only two of us so its just easier to wash them by hand.

I use the dishwasher, it can take all day to fill it, but after supper it's almost full so I run it then.  I don't normally cook on a Friday or Saturday night, so those days I do them by hand.

A bit of both: hand wash when the dishwasher is full.

My dishwasher tore up.  So I usually put them in hot water 2 or 3 times and by then I just have to rinse them off.  I hate washing dishes.

We no longer have a dishwasher since we moved into the new apartment.  Now I have to do them all by hand.

Actually, you do have a dish washer.  What's your name? lol.  I have tried to get the cats to wash mine but they just don't grasp it.  Say they get dish pan paws.   :cat:

I wash all my dishes by hand. I moved from a condo with a dish washer to a house without one. I decided that I wanted to have a yard worse than a dish washer. I am beginning to regret that choice though,ha! ha! I swear it seems as though the dishes breed when I'm not looking! I get them all washed up and leave the kitchen only to return a little later to find another sink full! It seems to be a never ending chore. ???

This is really funny. I am from the United Kingdom and there, kitchens are so small and in fact floor space is at a premium generally. There is never any room for a dishwasher. Goodness, it wasn't until I moved to the states that I got my first clothes dryer! So now, I am really fortunate, I have a clothes dryer and a dishwasher but I'm afraid I'm so used to washing up without a dishwasher that I still don't use it. I always wash up by hand, even on Thanksgiving and Christmas. You can't teach an old dog new tricks!

Being old school, I wash dishes by hand. Even though there is a dishwasher in the apartment where I live, it pretty much is idle. Seems a waste of time since it is often necessary to sort items that can and cannot go into the dishwasher and you end up washing dishes anyway.  :)
