What's yuk about it? Piling up dirty dishes. Yeah, my thought too. It's bad enough piling up dirty dishes *into* the dishwasher but to consider piling them up on the draining board is beyond the pale imho. Do you have OCD? Do you wash your hands 30 times a day? It's just a small amount of food that soon dries out, it doesn't smell. It's the emptying of the cleaned dishes and cutlery *out* of the dishwasher which both me and the missus find a bit of a chore. Filling the dishwasher seems less of a pain (unless your other half is hell bent on sabotaging your efforts at honing your skills as a "Load Master"). If you use your crockery from the dishwasher, there's hardly any to take out by the time you do the next load. I guess one way to eliminate the "Putting the dishes away" problem is to install *two* dishwasher machines[1] so you can alternate between them as a clean dishes 'source' and a dirty dishes 'sink' - no need for a full size dishes/crockery cupboard[2] then! :-) Why would you need that? So you don't have to shift the pile on the sink into the dishwasher when its time to run the dishwasher. I just use the clean ones in the dishwasher while the dirty ones pile up on the sink. Makes more sense to put the dirty stuff straight into the dishwasher in a kitchen which has been designed to allow the dishwasher to be left open. The other alternative to a pair of dishwashers is a single dishwasher that has spare trays and somewhere to put the extra trays so you can take the trays of clean stuff out of the dishwasher into the runners in the cupboard next to it and use the clean stuff out of those spare trays as you need clean stuff. And put the dirty stuff straight into the other pair of trays as they get dirty. Not ideal tho, trays full of dishes arent the lightest thing around. And if it slips out of your hands you lose a lot of dishes. Why is it in the 21st century we're still using breakable pots? Because the unbreakable ones are considerably more expensive. Plastic's cheap. While it doesn't break as easily, it end up grotty much more quickly. My point exactly, Nope. why has plastic not developed into much better things? Because it would be much more expensive to have a plastic that doesn't end up grotty much more quickly than ceramic plates and glasses etc do even if that is possible and I don't believe it is. So we accept the fact that being more breakable is something we have to live with. So you have no idea why we can't make decent plastic? It is never going to be possible to make plastic that is unscratchable as ceramics for anything like the cost of ceramics. |
