Buying a dishwasher has been one of the best things I did past year. So much free time now, and cooking is a lot relaxing, knowing that you can make a mess and then leaving it cleaning in the dishwasher.
I've seen 2 dishwashers built in to look like cabinets. One has clean dishes and the other has dirty ones, then you just swap which is which, when the dirty one gets full you run it and now it's the clean dish storage.
I don’t know if it needs saying, but getting a good quality one is the key. Cheap ones are noisy, wasteful, not durable, and do a poor job - to the point of having to partly wash your dishes before you wash them in the dishwasher. A good quality dishwasher will last, be quiet, and handle some pretty dirty stuff. That said, even commercial kitchen dishwashers don’t take everything off, so have some realistic expectations.
To come to the defense of noisy dishwashers...the loudest ones are like that because they have food grinders inside. That means you don't have to pre-wash dishes or do nasty periodic work to clear the inevitable debris from filters and traps and spouts over time. I'm sharing this because I only learned it last year, and after decades of quiet dishwasher marketing, I had assumed they were using some kind of amazing technology to wash better than the old noisy ones. They're not. They're all just swishing soapy water around in a box, and it's way cheaper to manufacture a box without a grinder in it.
I have a silent dishwasher currently, and I feel like we share the work about 50-50, the dishwasher 'n me.
Discovered something fun this week, in Norwegian the word for employer is "work-giver", but a bit of digging revealed that the alternative "work-buyer" existed but went out of use. I think people would sell their time and labor for more if the wording more clearly revealed the actual relationship.
For all you know she works for a nonprofit charity that performs lifesaving surgery on children from impoverished nations. Why take such a perfectly good comic and load the post title with your bias to this extent?
