Anyone who doesnt load their dishwasher in an orderly fashion is a monster. 😂

When we did have a dishwasher I always made sure it was nice and organized so I could fit more. Instead of buying a new dishwasher we're saving to buy our dream sink.

Edit: Link to the dream sink if anyone wants to see or buy for themselves.

    That's how my other half loads it. She didn't have a dishwasher growing up, and she has general chaos goblin tendencies.

    See, it’s not just about fitting more; if you don’t load your dishwasher correctly, stuff just won’t get clean

    Excellent organization. I wish my partner was half as good as that.

    Unfortunately, you lose points for wood in the dishwasher :( otherwise it would have been 10/10

    People say that about wood in the dishwasher, and it's true it does take a toll, but in my experience even cheap wooden spoons/handles will take hundreds of washings to really splinter. Most of my stuff is cheap so I go for it anyhow. I've probably only thrown out like 3-4 wooden items in 25 years, due to dishwasher wear.

    Seems like with it being wooden/porous, the extra heat and sterilization aspect makes it worth doing (in addition to the convenience)

    I love this cutlery shelf!!!

    I have to hand wash my chopsticks because they fall through the cutlery basket and create a disaster in my dishwasher..

    I have some plastic netting I lined around part of the cutlery basket where the chopsticks go that seems to prevent this. I'm trying to remember where I found it? I think maybe it was around some fruit from a Chinese grocery or something? It's kind of elastic but you can stretch it out to cover the space and it sort of just stays there once you anchor it well enough.

    How else would you do it? its convenient because you can just grab the whole bunch of forks, knives etc. and put them in the drawer when done. Fast and efficient

    Because you do it correctly? This part makes perfect sense to me. What I have yet to discover is what the correct way/location is to load bowls of varying sizes in my Bosch dishwasher.

    This is the only way it makes sense as in: everything should get cleaned and nothing stuck in between. I could go on but I'm also autistic.

    And still, the only way loading the dishwasher makes sense and is efficient.

    Very tidy and orderly

    Fantastic except that your bread knife doesn't belong there

    Not cute but reasonable. Just don't put that bread knife ever again in the dishwasher.

    As others said you put your knifes, forks and spoons the wrong way around. The cut outs on the sides are to put the handles of your cutlery in.

    Forks and spoons should point inward, the spray on top can't correctly rinse them otherwise

    Kills me to say it but I don't think you caught your partners tone correctly...

    "That's cute Honey... But the cutlery handles are facing the wrong way. Let me redo it for you"

    I'm I the really the only one seeing this?!?!

    Oh wow, that's what that drawer is for. Why does it come with one of those side baskets then?

    I miss having that top rack for cutlery. Those are nice, but I've only lived one place that had one.

    I thought that was sticks of RAM in the thumbnail

    the only way for this type of rack?

  • source
  • [–] 2 points 3 months ago

    My partner doesn't at least group cutlery together and we have a cutlery drawer too so it blows my mind. It means you can't fit as much as you need bigger gaps when randomly throwing them in. It drives me mad!

    I miss the cutlery shelf.

    Also, that one chop stick... gahh.

    Wait, does my Bosch dishwasher also have that little foldy downy thingy for chopsticks? BRB

    i would have asked:
    what do you mean by “cute”?

  • source
  • [–] 1 point 3 months ago

    I had to remove the third/top rack in our Bosch because the fucking Stanley cups wouldn't fit otherwise.
