Dishwasher OR by hand?

Dishwasher OR by hand?

I've never had a dishwasher... ever. And I'm perfectly fine with that.

 

[Teacher Terry]

Dishwasher!

 

[Gaer]

Me too! Just like Kate! I've never had a dishwasher; never have even USED a dishwasher!

 

[oldaunt]

My dishwasher died almost 3 years ago, so by hand. I sure do miss him.....

 

[NorthernLight]

I've never had a dishwasher. I don't mind washing dishes by hand, but a dishwasher would hide the dirty dishes from view. In this era of open concept layouts, I don't want to be looking at a messy kitchen while sitting in the living room.

Now I have a small "dirty dish bin" in a corner of my kitchen, where I can't see it from the living room.

I'm sure dishwashers come with their own set of problems though. I'd probably hate the noise.

Dishwasher when there's a full load. No pods, just liquid so I can control the amount.

 

[Lady]

Ive never had a dishwasher ,If I had a big family maybe , but just me its not worth it , I wash up once a day .

 

[Lilac]

By hand. The dishwasher is only used when we have a gathering.

 

[Balzac]

Never had or operated a dishwasher. All done by hand.

 

[jujube]

I have a dishwasher but have used it only once in 3 years.

I prefer to just wash the dishes by hand and get it over with. With just the two if us, it would take too long to fill up the dishwasher and I hate dirty dishes just sitting in there.

I handwash even though I had dishwasher at my other house (even if it didn't work properly) and a nice new one at my current house. I never seem to have enough dirty dished to use a washer (the joys of living alone).

My dishwasher went "on the fritz" - alone and wash by hand after each meal/snack.

I love the term "on the fritz" - here is the history on the term:

Dishwasher is my preference. But the one in my apartment went out. I don't want to ask for a repair or replacement so I'm doing them by hand and I don't like it.

 

[Knight]

A shared part of kitchen activity.
A combination
I'm the dishwasher for whatever needs done by hand.
Dishwasher for everything that doesn't.
I do rinse whatever goes in the dishwasher because it's a dishwasher not a garbage disposal unit.

I have a dishpan in the cupboard under the sink......

 

[Ruthanne]

Both but mainly by dishwasher.

Yup

That's us

My woman don't let nothin' sit

 

[Teacher Terry]

I live alone and just keep filling it and don’t run it until it’s full. It’s more sanitary as the water gets much hotter. When there were 5 of us and I didn’t have one it was awful. My husband was cheap but agreed that we needed one as soon as we could afford one.

Never had or wanted a dishwasher….as I gather, everyone who uses them ,washes them first anyway, what a waste of time……most of my friends just use them as a storage cupboard, being to lazy to empty them…..I had a very good dishwasher once, but sadly he can’t do it anymore …..

I don't wash mine first.

The appliance gurus tell us that modern major kitchen machines can be expected to last ten years. My ten year old dishwasher proved that to be true when it died last week. I am in the process of buying a new one right now. Sure I could revert to the hand wash days, but I would miss the rompin' stompin' sounds of an electric dishwasher doing its thing in the kitchen.

 

[Lee]

Dishwasher, quick rinse, easy peasy.

 

[PamfromTx]

I prefer washing dishes by hand. Very therapeutic to me. And I've had dishwashers. I had a cousin who would spend her trips to Uvalde with me; she'd use the dishwasher.

 

[Bella]

It depends. Everyday dishes, glasses, silverware, and smaller pots and lids go into the dishwasher. Fine china, crystal glassware, sterling silver, and large pots and skillets get washed by hand. On average, I run my dishwasher two times a week, three if I'm doing a lot of cooking. My dishwasher is whisper-quiet.
