H110Hawk posted:I have a Bosch SHE66something. There is a whole feature matrix that the fine people at pacific sales can get out to walk you through it. We have the 3-tray one and while the silverware tray seems silly it was worth it. I also have Bosch whatever with the 3 racks and it fuckin owns. Super quiet, cleans really well. 3rd rack can removed to give extra space, holds a ton. been 2 years and no issues. Would definitely recommend. We do all the silverware in the 3rd rack and that lets us remove the silverware tray in the bottom, giving a bunch more room for larger stuff/more plates or whatever. emocrat fucked around with this message at 15:21 on Feb 13, 2017 |

Having a 3rd rack just for silverware is basically the time you realized you have made it in life.

My dual sink is half and half shaped. Half is used as a sink, the other half has the drying rack in it. I'd rather have a single large sink that can fit my larger pots and pans. Or at least a 2/3 - 1/3 double sink, because we can't give up that counter space thats occupied by plants and put the drying rack there for some reason.

Solution to all these sink conundrums: get a large single sink. And then get another, right next to the first. Voila. No more counters, just sinks, sinks forever. e: I mean, sinks and dishwashers, obviously

My parents had a kitchen renovation that replaced their single large sink with a 2/3rd, 1/3rd split sink, with the drying rack being in the 2/3rd section. Washing anything at all large is a pain in the rear end, because it doesn't fit into the 1/3rd section and you invariably end up splattering water over the half-dry dishes on the rack. The person that planned that renovation a) doesn't hand-wash many dishes (and yes, my parents do have a dishwasher, but putting cookware in it would drastically limit its space for normal plates and bowls), b) doesn't ever hand-wash large dishes, and c) doesn't have multiple people incrementally hand-washing dishes as they get dirty instead of in one big dump all at once.

therobit posted:Since I am planning on doing our kitchen in a few years, are there any dishwashers that can fit large stockpots and the like? Our currwnt rollaway cant even handle larger dinnet plates due to clearance for the spinning nozels. Depends. Our 6 year old Whirlpool Gold easily fits my 20qt pot. Honestly, bring the pot in when you go shopping. I brought in my stock pots when I went fridge shopping and was happy with the results. I just wish I did that with my stove/oven. And built in disposals are wonderful. And I miss my single large sink. DEATH TO THE 2 BASIN!

Pissflaps posted:...did all their food taste like soap? Yes. Pissflaps posted:I'm from the UK and I only perform a dedicated rinse on items where the bubbles might not be removable with a teatowel such as a narrowly necked bottle or the lid off a travel cup. On anything else it's simply not necessary. The very first dish you wipe with that teatowel, you might get the film of soap and all the grease that soap has chemically bonded to off of that dish. And onto your tea towel, which is now dirty. From then on, you are mearely smearing around your soapy grease and leaving an invisible film residue. Furthermore, soap does not actually clean. This is not intuitive since we've been taught by commercials and habit that soap = clean. Soap does a very specific job: it bonds chemically to oil and acts as a surfactant, which enables cleanliness. But what actually cleans is mechanical action (scrubbing) and hot water. The hotter the better; live steam sterilizes on contact, but merely very hot water does a fantastic job of cleaning. If you are only putting your dishes into warm soapy water and not then rinsing them with very hot running water, you're not really getting the soap off (unless you wipe every dish with a fresh clean cloth and you're extremely thorough about every crevice and cranny). OK yes, soap is also antibiotic, and they add antibiotics to soap a lot these days (which is more or less entirely unnecessary and actually actively harmful). My point here is that OK, your soapy dish you wiped off is cleaner than when it went into the sink, and if you're very thorough about wiping and swap cloths repeatedly you probably don't even really taste the remaining soap residue. But it's there, for sure, especially on any semiporous surface (most ceramics are at least semiporous). Soap is doing its job as a surfactant by clinging to a surface amazingly well, and the fact that it is water soluble is something to take advantage of by using a rinse to get it all off. Also for further reading: http://www.bbcamerica.com/anglophenia/2012/10/the-cultural-divide-on-washing-dishes-brits-vs-americans A major reason why Brits often don't rinse their dishes is because they don't have a combined hot/cold tap that allows them to adjust the rinsing water to "quite hot but not so hot that you can't put your hands in it" which is of course the correct temperature to rinse at. That article is wrong in that it claims Americans never use dish racks (no idea where that idea came from) and it's also ignoring dishwashers. Anyway I can prove I'm right by the fact that dishwashers all use a rinse cycle. Even the very water conservative ones. Dish cleanliness engineers highly trained in plate science and cup physics know that you need to rinse off the filthy grease-impregnated soap film in order to have an actually clean dish.

Dishfucking engineers highly trained in plate science and cup physics know that you need to rinse off the filthy grease-impregnated soap film in order to have an actually clean dish. And modern dishwashers on auto use a max of ~6.5 gallons of water. Good luck getting to that level in a sink. I believe ours uses 5.0-6.3 gallons, and I measured 1.0kwh of electricity on auto with sanitize off and Finish JetDry rinse agent. Using "Eco" saves ~1 gallon of water but doesn't get your dishes clean unless you use more than a gallon of water prewashing. Never use it.

Saving three gallons of water a week on your ultra-water-miser setting is offset by the 50 gallons of water you used watering your lawn once this month.

Window tint is for the heat and neighbours aren't allowed to have side windows on 2 storey homes (based on sightlines.) The patchy grass is probably due to water restrictions. I hate corrugated iron roofs but they are very common here. Apart from that they're right.

Yeah that listing is from my city.

Dunno. Of course.
