12 types of dishes that only need to be washed by hand

Dishwasher pros

– Saving time: according to statistics, a woman spends about 300 hours a year at the sink, that is, almost 13 days;

– the machine washes dishes and cutlery clean;

– perfectly dries everything: there are no streaks and traces of water or detergent;

– less water is spent than with manual washing;

– not as expensive as it seems;

– energy savings.

The process of washing dishes in the machine looks like this: water is poured, heated and mixed with the detergent. This is followed by the main wash, pre-rinse, final rinse and drying. Note that the effectiveness of the result depends not only on the model of the machine, but also on the detergent. Gels and tablets have deservedly gained popularity: they do not contain abrasive particles that can leave scratches on dishes, they do not need to be measured.

In order not to ditch the dishwasher ahead of time, it is still worth reading the instructions for it.. On the dishes, you can also find the icon “Can be washed in the car” or the opposite – “Cannot be washed in the car.” True, such cribs for housewives are mainly made by manufacturers of expensive imported tableware.

Few people thought about the fact that the cleanliness of the dishes depends on the method of laying the dishes.

Upper tray – for mugs, glasses and other utensils

Glasses and mugs should be upside down to rinse well with water. Products made of plastic and thin glass are best placed on the top shelf so that they do not melt (since the heating element of the machine is located at the bottom).

A special holder for wine glasses is attached to the side. On the left side of the tray there is a shelf for small saucers, bowls, etc. They need to be placed at a short distance from each other so that water can penetrate.

Bottom tray – for large items

Machine manufacturers have made sure that this tray can transform depending on the size of the kitchen utensils. Large and deep plates, like super-dirty pots, should be placed in the middle, where the machine will wash them most efficiently. Flat plates and pans should be placed vertically at the edges, tilted slightly forward.

Removable tray – for cutlery and other small items

Place the cutlery with the handles down so that they do not touch each other.

If used improperly, both equipment and utensils can be damaged. Do not wash expensive knives and collectible porcelain in a typewriter: the gadget will blunt the cutlery, and it will wash the decor off the thin dishes.

Wooden tableware

Since the machine heats up the water a lot, wooden dishes (cutting boards, rolling pins, spoons) can absorb odors from other dishes and crack.

Knives

Hot water dulls the knife blade. It is best to gently rinse it under warm water. In a typewriter, knives can significantly damage the edges of plates or handles of mugs.

Crystal

The crystal may burst under the influence of hot water. There is also a risk that the glasses will lose their trademark shine.

Products from expensive coating

You shouldn’t risk expensive sets. Often, a typewriter can deprive you of patterns that are dear to your heart.

Dishes for animals

It is strictly forbidden to wash the bowls of animals together with the plates of family members, as there is a risk of infection with pathogenic bacteria. Harmful organisms survive despite hot water.

Cast iron cookware

It is undesirable to expose cast iron dishes to aggressive detergents and prolonged contact with water (average washing time).

Enamel cookware

Decorative items are not intended for normal use as they are not made of durable materials. Therefore, any mechanical impact can destroy beauty.

Thermos

The thermos will deteriorate if water gets between the thermal insulation layers. To avoid undesirable consequences, rinse the thermos yourself under cool water.

Non-stick pans

Spraying non-stick pans from washing in a typewriter can bubble. Throw away such dishes.

Burnt food utensils

You must understand that you cannot put plates with food leftovers in the dishwasher. Otherwise, the filter of the machine will become clogged, which is not so easy to clean (it must be cleaned once a week). Therefore, before washing, clean the dishes from debris.

Multicooker bowls

Detergent and hot water can damage the thin coating.

Terki, siteki, etc.

The machine will wash them badly and dull them.

– Made of food-grade plastic and heat-resistant silicone;

– made of stainless steel;

– from ordinary and heat-resistant glass;

– ceramic set without decor;

– baking trays, despite many prohibitions (the main thing is to place them upside down on the lower rack, wash at a temperature of 650 degrees and use an additional rinse).
