Didn’t know the dishes needed shampoo and conditioner…
I’m handwashing until the day I die, big washing machine will never get me. Yell at corporations for their water usage, not me washing dishes for one once a week with zero electricity usage.
How would one get the knives in and out?
Same way as any other day: slowly and with a subtle smirk. Just, don’t make the happy noises if anyone’s watching. 🤓
I have a regular old dishrack, the normal kind you sit on the counter. It fits high in the sink, so its raised and gets air. Most of the time its in the lefthand sink. If I have a big load, I move it back to the counter while I wash, and then back to the sink. I was gonna get something fancy till I started doing this. No need. Looks nice and neat. No counter used. Cost: $1.
Then you bring it home, set it all up, and you realize your sink is too wide and none of your dishes fit in the slots.
So, like dating? That tracks.
The real danger is when you overload it because you put off doing the dishes, then the whole thing shifts because the screws have loosened, dumping all your shit onto the counter and floor.

No nees for fancy weird plastics, that can make your dishes dirty with sink-water.
I don’t pay for water in this house, but I do pay for electricity. Diswashers way too power intensive. Also, I simply cannot afford a dishwasher
A rack on the other hand…
Said the “big tiddy goth GF” poster? Too easy, friend. 😝
Well I’m a gay man… The rack I need is big hairy meaty pecs
Damnit…
I’m not hairy.
This is known, though the pun trail is undeniable…
Is sanitization necessary for dishes though?
Absolutely not if you do a half decent job at washing them. Sanitary is a pipe dream anyway. The cabinet they’re going in isn’t sanitary. The air in the kitchen is full of fecal coliform bacteria. People don’t wash their hands before they handle plates.
I mean I don’t want to eat off of dishes with bacteria on them but regardless there’s no arguing that a dishwasher uses less water than handwashing. It’s kind of hard to beat 3-4 gallons of total usage for both rinsing and washing an entire double-sinkload of dishes.
I assure you no matter what your dishwasher does your dishes have bacteria on them when you eat. Only reason to care about the sanitize mode is if you do things like grow mushrooms and want to get as clean a surface as you can when preparing components.
The number of people who believe there’s such a thing as “no bacteria” and that it’s healthy at all… is consistently disappointing. 😅
You can sanitize them submerged in the sink with dish sanitizer

And as a result you’re more likely to have allergies. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25713281/
just perform more rimjobs and you’ll be fine.
I just lick the crossing light buttons once in a while.
During winter if you want it extra spicy
Mmmm… gut flora.
damnit @[email protected], stop advertising to my absolute must haves.
Every thread about these racks is full of comments shitting on them, meanwhile I’ve been enjoying mine for years with none of the issues in the comments.
FWIW I live in a rental with limited counter space and no dishwasher.
I want one even though i have a dishwasher. we still end up with things in a drying rack that takes up counter space.
Legit, the quality of life bump for getting a dishwasher is massive. You can even get a standalone version as a renter.
My dishwasher died an a time where I didn’t have enough cash on hand to replace it. I ordered a wash pump from china, but it took nearly a month to show up.
We handwashed for 3.5 weeks, I started planning meals around less cooking vessels. We started getting disposable plates.
I baby the F out of that thing now. Filter cleaned every time, regularl degreased, sump regularly cleaned.
I remember being young enough to believe affording this kind of stuff was still my future.
(It wasn’t).
I’m 71 and I want one.
I wanted one when I was young. The apartment was overpriced and cramped. A traditional drying rack was later than the counter.
Now, I am old. I do not want one.
Man that really fucks with me, I really quite like looking out the window and watching people mill up and down the street; check out the clouds; see the dog stare at me while he does a shit; or seeing which of the kids is finding new and inventive ways to seriously injure themselves in the garden.
It’s a faint thread of contact with the outside world while doing housework 😊
Unfortunately my kitchen window stares onto a fucking wall of my neighbors. All wall. Not even a window. Just siding. I hate it and them.
Sounds like an excuse to wear fewer clothes and stare at them.
Well, now we’re all picturing @[email protected] scantily-dressed and crushing that siding with an unblinking stare from beyond.
These look great in theory, but I find they clutter up your only kitchen sink where you can wash big pots and pans. A little side rack with a utensil holder works better. Honestly, even then, I’d still not bother with any of that nonsense and just dry all the dishes immediately.
Touch everything once instead of twice.
