Gary, it's perfect.

Bob,

Thanks so much for the vote of confidence.
Now if you can just get me over the pre-rinse phobia, I will be on the road to a complete recovery......

We have evil ways to rid ones psyche of pre-rinse phobia.

Trivia

Hey, gansky1, I grew up with those plastic tumblers in the top rack! My mom got them on that kitchen aisle at the grocery store, where we got most of our dishes and kitchen things. But we only had the green, yellow and orange-ish ones.

OMG Gary

We have the same Gold-leaf dishes LOL I got them from my grandfather. They were his everyday dishes

OMG Gary

We have the same Gold-leaf dishes LOL

These dishes came from my parent's house. I took them when the house was sold. In the past few years, I have added many pieces to the set by finding them at Tag Sales and have recently found more pieces at my local Salvation Army store. Those dishes are my 'daily driver' and I really love them since they bring back so many childhood memories.

The dish pattern is called 'Serenade' and is made by Sheffield.
I have included a picture of a very unusual piece to the set.

And also a link to replacements....a company where you can find matching pieces to numerous sets of dishes.

Gotta love those dishwashers!

Greg:

Absolutely awesome..and no pre-rinsing required!!! ;-)

I also remember those plastic tumblers. Ours were orange and avocado green! They sure kept the drinks cold!

[gansky1]

Those tumblers were in the same boxes as the Boontonware. I thought they were fun but they need a trip through the scrubbing needle spray of the Maytag Jetclean dishwasher before they can be used again.

And as you can see by the un-appetizing pictures in the beginning, there is no pre-rinsing needed - a red velvet cake and a couple of meals in the Maytag all came out sparkling!

 

[geoff]

WOW

That's GREAT Gary! I use these as my daily driver set as well. That last bowl pic is unusual. I must agree, mine have sentimental value to me as well. I'm going to to have to start looking at sales and GoodWill to add pieces to my set..

Thanks!

I submit my BobLoad® in the next two photos for approval by The Great Man. (I know my Maytag won't be vintage for another 19-1/2 years, but I didn't want to start another thread, LOL!)

This is the aftermath of making a batch of pesto, a batch of blueberry jam and two casseroles. Naturally, there will be a second load, but it won't be as full.

 

[frigilux]

....and the bottom rack.

 

[appnut]

Eugene, you've done it for sure. But, did the chefs pan in front get clean??? The top rack is definitely random, load-as-u-like loading lol.

 

[frigilux]

SCORE!!!!

Thanks, Bob. I'll find out if the chef's pan comes clean in about 2 hours. I literally started the machine 5 minutes ago on the HEAVY WASH cycle, using the HIGH TEMP WASH, TOUGH SCRUB and 160-DEGREE WASH (actually at 160-degree final rinse) options, so it'll be awhile.

 

[appnut]

Yep, u pulled out all the stops. That should clean the manhole cover in the sstreet lol.

 

[frigilux]

Unretouched, spotlessly clean pans. The Dutch Oven was crusty with gunk from making jam and the chef's pan had fried up several batches of ground beef and onions/bell peppers. Nothing was burned on, though. DAMN, I love my Maytag!
