Nice place. I agree the stained trim and doors look great (you don't see that very often anymore) and it looks like your ceilings are pretty high. Looks like a nice laundry room and garage too.
 
Congrats on your new place. Love the flooring. Your laundry room looks to be a decent size, and nice and bright.
That domino game that your family is playing is a lot of fun. Played it with my family on Christmas Eve.
 
That Oversized-Utensil rack is such a handy feature. I'm always playing around with ours to make sure everything fits properly and would love a feature like that.
 
So... I have a complete addiction to kitchen things.. Cookware, flatware, dinnerware, cutlery, cutting boards, bakeware and so on... And tonight, I've come to realize my complete obsession to my enameled cast iron pots. I've got three, two tramontinas that I bought at walmart and a Le Creuset that I bought on ebay. I plan on getting a few larger pieces, probably tramontina, but I am in love.

Of all the pans I have, I use my enameled pans the most. They never get put away. I use them to boil, to sear, to slow cook, to roast and anything in between. I use them more than my crock pots.

On top of that, I love using my enameled pans with induction. I have gotten so used to using the instant power of induction that I probably can never go back to a traditional cook top. I love that I can use an enameled pot with an induction burner and all of a sudden have a very versatile slow cooker.

Anyways, I came to post pics. :P I went to my mom's and raided the leftovers. I used a can of black eyed peas, a can of rotel tomatoes, two cans of mushrooms and half an onion and three cloves of garlic added to 4 slices of diced bacon that I was rendering down. I added a cube of chicken bouillon, three bay leaves, some poultry seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper, 4 cups of water and ... half of a baked chicken. Mom's fridge is empty lol. She doesn't eat left overs and made too much food yesterday. All day I have been craving chicken and rice so I figured I'd throw something together. Oh, and she had a very large tub of chocolate chip cookie dough that is near its end of life that needs to be used... I made a large cookie :-)

OH and I finally got my table put up!!!

I hope all is well with everyone.

Out with the new and in with the old...

So, the damage on the G6365 was too much to be worth doing a repair. He was sent back. :(

I did, however, find a new old stock Advanta G2020. For the price that I got it for, I couldn't pass it up. The dishwasher is from the 2005-2008 era.

I did add the third rack to the unit, I am also thinking about getting the bottom rack for a modern rack to put in him.

This unit had the original double waterproof system...... That was an interesting install.... in the middle of the night... .......... Thank the lord for sharkbite to copper connections.

He uses more water.... a lot more water... and runs all three arms at full speed. I'll have to see if he cleans as well as the new guy.

I've had to do a few repairs the last few days on new units because FedEx Freight can't seem to deliver things without damage. It is interesting how the platform for this machine has remained the same for so many generations, but they keep making improvements etc. They don't just change everything and make new parts not work on old machines.

Anyways I hope all is well!

Nice machine

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">Josh, there aren't many machines I would pull out a vintage Kitchen Aid for but this is one of them.  I'd love to try one with the third rack but I have a number of very tall glasses and I wonder does that third rack get in the way?</span>

 

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">A friend of mine bought one of those Samsung Waterwall dishwashers with the rack and he said it's a real pain because it takes a lot of room and if he drops down the middle rack then his plates don't fit.</span>

 

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">That's one of the things I like about the Kitchen Aid racks that one side can be low and one can be high.</span>

 

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">I had a Dacor in the kitchen for a while that I had picked up on Craigslist but I hated it.  The machine cleaned well but the racks were awful and nothing seemed to fit right.</span>

 

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">I almost bought a new Miele a couple of years ago but hate to spend the money because I know I would want to go back to an older Kitchen Aid at some point.</span>

 

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">BTW, I still love my knives.  It's about time I send them in for a sharpening.  Anyone want Cutco knives, Josh is your guy!</span>
 
Ralph,

I'm glad you are still loving your knives :-)

What I love about Miele's middle basket is you can still tilt it to one side or the other. The 3d tray, which the g6365 had, allows you to slide the basket to one side or the other for tall glasses. This dw didn't come with the tray so I added the one I had on hand but guess what I just ordered on our last appliance order lol. I should have a 3d tray in the next few weeks :-)

Also, the feed for the middle basket comes from the side wall of the DW, not the rear interior.. So the bottom basket pushes all the way to the back wall and there is nothing to hit when you load big pans etc.

I miss my G6365. :(

My first rejects... I'm not sure if I loaded the older style racks wrong or what the heck happened here... This was on a pots and pans cycle even... Am running another load of dishes. Will put these in a different spot to see what happens.. By the looks of that white soup cup, I wonder if the wash arm didn't get stuck. There is no way that grease would stay there with the heat that was in the DW...

I made chicken noodle soup from scratch yesterday, ran the DW for 3 loads.. Maybe he was pissed at me...

Oh well....

I'm almost certain no beef stroganoff, though it does sound good!

So aside from working at an appliance/furniture/flooring store, I do computer work on the side.........

Thank goodness I have this large table lol.[this post was last edited: 2/26/2016-03:02]
