Do you like to clean the dishes in dishwasher or think hand is better choice.

Heheh...danger habit angry means using hand and happy means using dish washer. I heard first time this habit.

hiiii dear I think you are saving two hugs for your sweet husband hehe...nice and obeying wife. You are right hand is good choice because its cost is also high and electricity charges also high. But friend tell me home servant do this cleaning dishes or daily you by hand.

I am the servant at home

when we do work manually - surekha - our health will be good. in your case it is better to engage a servant - pay her salary and do the work yourself when required !

You are right by hand fast wash the dishes than machine. Because we need to clean all ingredients from dishes before putting in machine. Means time consuming electricity consume, cost high all problem with dishwasher.

You are right friend not necessary but if work is more then problem to do this work. I am hesitate because read everywhere the cost is high and consume more electricity. But when it was cheaper then I will purchase.

Yes this is basic and daily work so no need to purchase dishwasher. But if vessels is more and work is also more then feel machine is required.

Not all dishwashers are the same. Mine has a button to "air dry" and I push that, then you do not use the heat to dry them. On my dishwasher you can do a delicate load, or a heavy soil load and the longest wash is Pots and Pans. It all uses the same amount of water, it just runs it over the dishes longer and possibly with more force. We cook a lot here, and I will put large casserole dishes or even the skillets and pans that are stainless steel into the dishwasher. Non stick does not do well in dishwashers and neither does cast iron. Those get hand washed. If you live in an apartment or have a small family you can get a smaller dishwasher as well.

gg, i have used a dishwasher at my sister's and was surprised at how much stuff you have to put in to fill it up (like after 2 meals so the sauce or food particles have hardened) and how long one cycle takes (as long as a washing machine cycle it seems). she also told me to open it slightly when it's done and let it cool down first. i'm curious if it's possible to just wash but not dry them in the machine? or conversely, wash handwash them then dry them in the machine (as mentioned above)? my sister only told me to push one button, but it seems you can "customize" your preference. you seem to know how to use your dishwasher efficiently.

interesting. it's just like a washing machine, then, with delicate, moderate and heavy cycles. and also comes in different sizes depending on capacity. maybe it's the "heat" option that makes a difference in the power bill. i guess it pays to be curious enough to "fiddle" with all those buttons! so what types of detergent is effective for you? powder or liquid? i don't remember anymore what my sister used. is it true you also have to clean the machine once in a while? i've read in websites that half a lemon is good, but i've also read in forums that the pulp will clog the drain.

my gosh y ou livein the dark ages we have used dishwasthers f or years and no they do not consume a lot of electricity at all. they do make your dishes and pots and p ans sterile. I vote for a dishwasher if I was back in an apartment.

Sounds very interesting way to wash the dishes, pots and pans. But, i reluctant to buy one since my friend said it consume quite a lot of electricity. Besides that, the servicing fees isn't cheap in here since this item considered under luxury category. The service guy usually would charge much higher. Same goes for my washing machine before. At this moment, i still prefer to hand wash those dishes myself and sometimes with the help of my sisters.

Ohhh really it consume lots of electricity and I think costly also. Yes here also electricity prices is going up. I also not interested but some time tired because we have lots of vessels so cleaning is hard.

hello sir ravi, Uh oh.. We're just 4 people in the house sir. And we don't cook for breakfast since kids only prefer sandwiches or biscuits. So,I only cook for lunch and dinner. Not to mention that my kids are old enough to wash their own dishes

Hmmm nice dear sis you do only lunch and dinner like me but in my house everyone like hot chapati. So whenever anyone came for lunch I prepare hot chapati. Ohh God uncle not only 5 or 20 minutes but I spend full 1 hour in it.

jaiho: you are under rating my work -- washing dishes only 5 minutes-- no no. it will take roughly 20 minutes at a time and two times a day. ok. true dishwasher is not required.

Aunt Hatley, in my country here, the servicing fees for dishwasher isn't cheap. Besides that, i heard from my friend that it consume the power like a TV set. That's why it makes me reluctant to get one for my family. But, i do use washing machine with filter at my home since there are a huge load of clothes to be wash daily. Hope you are doing fine everyday...

Ohhh but Dadi ma here dish washer is very costly 20000 thousand in Indian Rs. But washing machine is less costly start from 7000 Rs. Wow!!! most of the persons in US using washing machine. I also heard this sis myfb servicing charges and cost is not cheap.

I never heat dry my dishes, I air dry them, you have that option. It does not make all that much difference in my bill. On the other hand, we watch very little television, and do not have one of those new ones that guzzles energy.

Not just easier... but faster! I'll never forget actually TIMING the dishwasher we had while in an apartment....an hour that dishwasher ran to wash and rinse..then 30 minutes of heat to dry! What shocked me most was the time it was drying...that was running up my gas bill and eletric bill!!! Plus, with just two of us...and I use paper plates when I can...15 minutes tops and they are done. It'd take a couple days for us to use enough dishes to fill the dishwasher (only wash full loads!) and that means, dirty dishes smelling for a few days, doing without something as it is "in the dishwasher" and things like that. You still have to put them away however you wash them...plus...you nearly have to wash them before you put them in the dish washer...those commercials that put a cake in the washer, and then run it and show the cake is gone, the plate is clean... yeah, it is. BUT.what they never mention is...where did all that cake go? It is now in the water lines that are only 1/2 wide so it is SSSOOOO easy for the water lines to get clogged with so much large stuff being run through there. So to me...easier, cheaper and more economical and environmentally safe/better.. to hand wash. I wash them in hot water, rinse in hot water and then air dry (if you have a dishwasher..use that to dry them.. just open it... put the wet dishes in and close it and they dry!) ..go do something else and before bedtime...put the dishes away and it is done!

You are right washing the dishes by hand is more easy than dish washer. I think only few persons can bear the cost of this machine and electricity bill. I also not affort.

You are right washing more dishes at a time in dishwasher but its cost is high and not possible purchase for everyone. Means you are living alone without family. Hand is the best choice for washing dishes.

dishwasher is suitable for usa and canada where they use more porcelain vessels--in india we use eversilver and they do not get cleaned fully in dishwasher. in my view it is not recommendable unless the family is big say 10 people or so everybody is otherwise employed.

But friend here most of the mylotters are telling its consume more electricity. IS it true? Nice you are using dishwasher I think dishwasher and washing machine for cloth both are saved the time.

I really don't mind washing the dishes my friend, as long as there is a running water and dishwashing liquid .

You are right friend dish washer takes more electricity but if the family members is more and working women is only one then dish washer is required. In my case no need because we have only 5 members but my MIL uses more pots or vessels so daily I spend 1 hour for cleaning.

Can the dishwasher clean the dishes.I think it's more clean to wash dishes by hands. Though I have wash dishes by hand,especially in winter. I am looking forward one day , there is a new kind of dishwasher which can clean dishes very clean.

I think most of the persons are not like to using the dishwasher they like to clean the dishes by hand.
