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!

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!

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!

 

[frigilux]

Now for load #2. These two casseroles are worse than they appear in the photos. Stuff is baked on and dried on. We'll see how they come out. Although it's going to be well after 2:00 a.m. when the cycle is finished, so I'll post the results in the morning.

 

[frigilux]

Here's how I loaded the rack. The pasta pot has the usual starchy mess at the top of the water line.

 

[frigilux]

And here's my cycle selection for this tough, but small load. The upper rack isn't worth showing---just some bowls and small plates.

 

[frigilux]

And even though it's nearly 2:15 a.m., I'm still up listening to Mott The Hoople, doing laundry and taking pictures! BOY HOWDY am I going to be dragging at work tomorrow. Today. Anyway, here are the spotlessly clean, unretouched casseroles!
(The 'spots' you see on the colored Pyrex dish are actually imperfections/abrasions on the outside of the dish. They were there when I bought the dish at a yard sale.)

Again, no complaints about the mighty Maytag!

And now, it's time to switch to T.Rex and go fold some laundry...

 

[jonv112]

Would this count as a Bob Load for my Oasis HE?

3 queen sheets
4 flat queen sheets
11 pillowcases
1 twin sheet
1 twin flat sheet

 

[jonv112]

In the machine

 

[frigilux]

Calling Bob....calling Bob.....Come in, Bob.....

 

[appnut]

Eugene absolutely amazing on both loads.

And yes, that's a Bob load for sure in the Oasis. Jason, I think you've been out Bob loaded. I can't believe all that fits in there. How many tangles and balls with those sheets end up in? And how about in the dryer?

 

[lavamat_jon]

Calling Bob

This was a load of reds/pinks/browns i washed yesterday in the Miele - does this count as a Bob Load?

(excuse the dried out grass - it's usually lovely and green but we've had one of the hottest July's in history and grass turns brown no matter how much you water it, even in the parks).

Jon

 

[gansky1]

Filling the line -

A load of sheets from the 59 Frigidaire Multitragic washer and one from the 60 GE FilterFlo. A couple more loads in process now, quilts in the Bendix Duo and more bedding in the Maytag...

 

[Unimatic1140]

Well Bob, would ya?

 

[tomturbomatic]

Is that Centura Coupe White that I see?

As the evil Hunt brothers are to silver, the beneficent Greg is to Centura.

 

[tomturbomatic]

Jon, would that be your bedroom where the large drain line branches off the main cast iron pipe and goes through the wall on the second floor? I think I have seen the sewer lines on the outside of old buildings in the southern part of our country, but up here, at least before global warming really started making itself felt, that would not work in our winters.

Tom

 

[tomturbomatic]

I see all of these KitchenAid mixer bowls in the racks, but no trace of the paddles. Whachuall doin'?

 

[gansky1]

In my big-load Maytag pics, the paddle in the lower rack near the edge of the cut-out for the phallic Tower of Power, the whisk is under one of the bowls.

Centura - good lawd, I keep buying it too. I have so many extra pieces that are scratched and/or marked that I've found in sets or parts of sets, I send leftovers home with family and friends and tell them to throw away the dishes! I counted the good dinner plates - White Coupe and Blue Cornflower - the other day and could serve 83, I should really stop now.

 

[gansky1]

Found this while searching and thought of Bob...

So, what do you think we can expect to find when the cycle is over??

 

[frigilux]

Wow. Even I scrape dishes a little better than THAT. I can never get used to the main rack being the upper rack in these vintage Maytags. Seeing glassware in the bottom rack just seems wrong, LOL!

 

[appnut]

Waht would happen, they'd get CLEAN!!!

 

[frigilux]

I just noticed I have the same set of plates as in the picture directly above---the ones with a brown stripe around the rim. I threw out the dinner plates, but I kept the salad plates and saucers, which I use as spoon rests/utensils rests during food prep. I think you can see the plates I'm referencing in the photos of my BobLoad® further up in this thread. It's a small world!
