Having a large family of my own and sometimes hosting get-togethers I can not agree with your sentiment. I would not buy a dishwasher for 1% of my use-cases that otherwise wastes lot's of resources (presumably being much to large for everyday usage). Our standard eco program runs for ~3h minimizing water, electricity and chemical usage.
On the other hand I would be totally fine to buy another set of dishes for said occasions.
- masklinn 4y agoI feel like that used to be pretty standard for my parents’ generation and older: you’d have one set of dishes and cutlery (dented, mismatched, …) for normal use, and you’d get the “good” ware (silverware and fine porcelain) for hosting, with uniform everything for everyone, small cups for tea / coffee instead of the usual mug, … Obviously that requires a house as you pretty much need a cabinet at least partially dedicated to storing this day-to-day.
