Which comes 1st - Dishwasher or Dish?

[suds]

Greetings

So chaps please tell me I am not the only one that goes around buying crockery, glassware and cutlery whilst constantly considering how they will fit into the dishwasher? ("Handwashing only" items = no sale!) I tend to aim for smaller sensibly sized and shaped items just so that they will stack nicely

So do you guys buy to fit or fit whatever you buy?

never thought about it...

I generally always find a way to fit anything in the dishwasher some of them don't stack in nicely, but that was never a problem to me

But I agree with you 100% on "Handwashing only=no sale!"

And the same here. But we usually buy something if we like it, then worry how to put it in the dishwasher only after it's been used.

I haven't been in the market for awhile but I'd definitely take my crockery and so-forth to the store when shopping. I'm interested that in my Whirlpool Powerclean Corelle cereal dishes fit perfectly in the top rack...it was clearly made with them in mind.

I knew when I bought the Kyocera ceramic knife that it would have to be hand washed, but it is so wonderful I don't mind and there is generally some sterling after a meal that has to be handwashed, too, so it's no biggie. I just squirt some Dawn on the microfiber dishcloth, hold it under the Instant Hot, suds it up and wash, rinse and dry each piece and I'm done. I always handwash the pressure cookers, not that they are used everyday

I bought my every day dishes so that they fit in the dishwasher. I wanted plates that would stand upright and not have to be tilted forward like some of the bigger, thicker stoneware. And I wanted cups that fit between the tines and not have to be put over them.
