    the real gauntlet is reseasoning all of those pans and sharpening all of those knives before their owner gets home

    If mine are dirty, dishwasher wouldn’t work anyway. If they aren’t, why are they in there? Dishwasher works great on some things but not others, it won’t remove egg, avocado, and wouldn’t scrub the skillets for me.

    I do use Dawn and briefly soak if necessary. Briefly. Most of my pans are older than any of my kids (so over 30 at least) and I’ve had to comprehensively strip and reseason two of them, once each, and reseason all of them when I let my husband wash them before he understood them. I got him a chainmail scrubber and explained no overnight soak and if you don’t want to deal with it throw it in the bottom oven dirty.

    They just get so so nice and nonstick when they’re in good shape.

      What weak ass dishwasher are you using? Normal ones will clean everything from everything.

        This is so against my entire life of experience that I must ask you, what dishwasher do you claim cleans “everything from everything”? Because it sounds more like you don’t really cook.

        If you can really find me a dishwasher that will take a lasagna tray straight from the oven, and give it back to me ready for the cabinet, while also not breaking any dishes or glasses, I’ll quit my job and sell them myself.

            Yeah, I tried his advise and my dishwasher is a bit better but nowhere near cleaning pots properly if something was cooked onto them. We tried half a dozen different detergents (powders, pods, and liquid), putting detergent in the tub directly in addition to the little door, harsher wash cycles.

            I can also smell rotting on dishes once clean but wetted if we run anything through with cat food on it (though few other people around me can smell it unless it gets really bad). I can tell a week later if we ran cat food through the dishwasher because I’ll pull out a cup and fill it with water and then smell rotting halfway through my drink.
            No the dishwasher doesn’t have anything stuck in the filter. Yes this still happens immediately following a couple cleaning cycles according to the manual’s instructions. No including vinegar in an upright cup doesn’t change the behaviour but it does eat through our pot bottoms something fierce. The problem completely goes away if we soak cat food dishes beforehand and make sure there are no chunks of cat food that go through the dishwasher with no changes to anything else.

            The dishes are clean enough to eat off but they are not as clean as if I washed them or paid special attention when using the dishwasher. Often the pots have residue / calcium / burnt on food bits left. Cutlery periodically comes out with dried food stuck on random parts of it even if the dishwasher wasn’t very full to begin with.

    like using a wood chipper to sharpen your pencils. hot water, steel wool, and 5 minutes of your time will save you the 20 minutes per pan of removing rust and reseasoning.

    bravo on the troll post, though; i’m legitimately furious

    1. Is a silverware area thingy not standard or was it removed?
    2. Who puts good sharp knives in the washer? I was always told you should hand wash them.

      For number 2, that’s part of the joke I would guess. I didn’t even see them before you commented.

      Hand wash knives due to the handle. The blade doesn’t care too much especially if you’re sharpening them occasionally.

          There’s a brand of Japanese knives that don’t have a handle, one piece.

          Sha Ra Ku Mono

          The best knife I have ever held. Buy it for life. There’s another Japanese brand called Global and they are one piece but not as amazing to hold as the Sha Ra Ku Mono. My wife was a professional chef so we splurged to get her a full set over the years. The bread knife is a fucking chainsaw man… You have to really be careful or it’ll bite you HARD.

          I think only one place outside of Japan sells them. https://seacut.com/collections/sha-ra-ku-mono

      This might be ragebait but people are definitely serious about this shit. I don’t know what they think happens inside a dishwasher, it’s just some water splashing about followed by some heat. “Is it dishwasher safe? It doesn’t say it is!” Fuck off, just put it in the top rack and be done with it.

        Some plastics will melt even on the top rack. Some older plastics will actively breakdown and release junk in the dishwasher.

        Some metal corrodes quickly with hot water, soap, and hot air. It also offends your ancestral spirits.

        On the plus side, it’s pretty straightforward that it can either be cleaned in the dishwasher or in the oven.

          In all my years of dishwashering, I have only really offended my ancestral spirits once, but I doubt they will even remember it since there is so much else to be disappointed about.

      The cast iron is wild and obv just a rage bait post, but most kitchen knives are fine in the d/w. Have a victorinox 8" and its still good as new. Purist will tell you I’m wrong but I’m not.

      1. Anecdotally, newer machines have removable baskets. Some also have a thin rack at the top specifically for silverware. (Mine has it, they lie horizontally and free up dish space on the bottom rack)

      2. Psychopaths. But that’s the meme. You’re not supposed to put them or cast iron skillets in there.

        I don’t care. I didn’t buy a dishwasher because i still wanted to had wash some. If it doesn’t survive the dishwasher i don’t want it.
