YAY!!! Hotpoint out--Bosch in!!!

You're making me sad here, people.

I used to cook professionally, and good knives (Wusthof, Henckel, some Sabatier lines, certain Chicago Cutlery lines) should NEVER EVER go in the dishwasher!

The action can cause edges to be knocked out of alignment, the detergent can damage handles, there's the whole safety issue.....
You'll resharpen less often, or have to have them resharpened less often.

Please, please reconsider your practise, all right?

Even if you don't change your ways, think about it.

Please.

Try the Quick Wash!!

Hi All!

Just to let you knwo we bought a slimline Bosch dishwasher and have found for crockery, cutlery and mixing bowls etc.... normal daily use and soiling, the Quick 45# wash is superb. It only takes 29 minutes on our machine and apart from fully drying the dishes, it sdoes an excellent job of cleaning them. Great for a pratial load too!

We use Finish powder, not sure if this is available in US and also our supermarket own brand... just as good!!!

Washing method!

One thing Ihave noticed with our Bosch is that the waster is circulated first to the lower basket arm for a minute or two then to the upper arm. Is this the new way for dishwashers or are there other models that do this too?
Does anyone know why also????

Hallequin,

My Bosch dishwasher, which I've had almost a couple of weeks now, does exactly the same thing. Apparently this allows the machine to save water (only enough is needed to feed one spray arm at a time), and also reduces noise levels.

While the machine is extremely quiet, if one listens carefully you can hear the spray action stopping, starting and alternating at regular intervals. Seems a little strange at first but I soon got used to it, and overall couldn't be happier with this DW - it's brilliant!

AEG already had this system for many years on their TOL dishwashers. The dishwasher that I now have is the second AEG with this feature.

Good knives in DW

"I used to cook professionally, and good knives (Wusthof, Henckel, some Sabatier lines, certain Chicago Cutlery lines) should NEVER EVER go in the dishwasher!"

I was going to bring up that point, too, but you beat me to it.
The only knives I put in the dishwasher are those "cheapie" serrated knives like they give you in restaurants for steaks, and regular tableware knives.

Knives in the d/w

Guilty as charged. Then again, if I had sharp knives, I would be dangerous (not to mention missing several digits).

Hey Kirk!

That makes a lot of sense..... Great dishwasher though. I too am rerally pleased with our machine!
