Yeah, my “dream” kitchen that I’ll never have would have those instead of a range. And maybe a big slow cooker that could do a turkey.
Edit: oh yeah, add an air fryer and bread machine. And kettle obvs. Preheats water for a pasta pot faster than the stove. Immersion >> conduction heating.
The amount spent on a range buys a lot of gadgets. Not even wiring one up saves a circuit and dedicated run.
I couldn’t live without a dishwasher though…
- Eisenstein 3y agoHow many people are you cooking for? I find that a dishwasher when only used for one or two people is more of a nuisance than washing dishes as they are used, mostly because you have to basically use all of your dishes before running it.
- Scoundreller 3y agoUsually two, but I usually rinse plates if they have something that I know cakes on. When I empty it, I’ll let anything that needs another run in for the next run. Don’t need to run it every night.
- SergeAx 3y agoYou cannot achieve a dishwasher quality with your hands only. Partially because of the temperature, partially because of chemicals. I will never even try to wash wine glasses by hands.
- cinntaile 3y agoIf you wash by hand you create a lot of friction so I wouldn't underestimate it. You'll likely also have less detergent residue on your dishes if you wash by hand, which apparently could be good for keeping your gut lining intact.
- SergeAx 3y agoWhile all these are valid points, you just have to compare hand- and machine-washed glasses once and will never confuse them again. I believe that standard machine cycle includes enough rinsing to wash off detergent, but you may do another rinse just in case.
- cinntaile 3y agoIf I want squeaky-clean glasses, I clean them by hand so I can't say that I relate to your experience. Perhaps the dishwashing detergent that you use contains different chemicals.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoMight also be because people misuse the dishwasher a lot - by overloading the machine past capacity, and then running an underpowered (or "eco") program. All those other programs are on the dishwasher for a reason, and it's not to trick the user into wasting more water.
- Scoundreller 3y agoAnother mistake is thinking the 1h cycle is the most efficient. It is not. Uses more water and electricity than a normal cycle.
