      But how do you dry the dishes once the dishwasher is done? Do you leave them in the dishwasher to dry, which mean that you can’t add new dished until it’s all dry and you’ve emptied it? Do you let them dry on a counter? But in that case where do you find enough space? Or do you put the wet dishes in your cupboards even though it’ll trap moisture in there? Or do you manually wipe the dishes with towels like some crazy people do?

        Good dishwashers have a heating element on the bottom. . It turns on and dries the dishes in a cloud of steam. There is also a button on mine that’s for high heat (sanitize) that I leave on. This ensures that the dishes get completely dry.

          Really? Everytime I go to family or friends who have a dishwasher and help with emptying it, the dishes are always at least a bit wet… Maybe everyone I know just has cheap dishwashers 😅 Sanitizing on high heat seems like a great feature to have

            I sanitize my cider bottles in the dishwasher. Works great.

              That would be so convenient! Sanitizing pots and bottles in boiling water is a pain. THEY FLOAT. Plus the water is so hard here that after a long bath of boiling water you can barely see through the glass, they are clean but look so dirty 😡

              No space for a dishwasher though 😢

        I just open the dishwasher. Pull out the bottom rack, shake the top rack a bit and deal with any puddles. Anything that’s not dry just goes back in for another hour. Leave the door open until dry.

      Right? I’d get more excited about a dishwasher.

      And I don’t mean one with tits. They also get to enjoy free time when the mechanical dishwasher is running.
