    I’d assume it isn’t see through because you load it up with dirty dishes that sit for days before you run it. No one wants to spend days staring at the crusty spoon meemaw dipped in the peanut butter and licked like an ice cream cone before the wash is finally run

        People who don’t make a lot of dirty dishes? Running a dishwasher that is not full wastes water and energy. When I was single I would only run the dishwasher twice a week or so.

        I have twelve dinner plates. Often I’ll use two a day (my partner doesn’t share my allergies or diet and mostly uses bowls)

        We have many hot drink mugs

        We have twelve sets of cutlery

        The dishwasher runs when we run out of clean [plates|cups|cutlery] that is weekly or less often

        Modern dishwashers can easily clean tons of crust. That’s why it takes them so long. As long as bigger chunks are gone and you clean the trap you are fine.

    God I fucking hate how they chose to punctuate/capitalize. What the actual fuck? Just use italics if you want to emphasize something, good lord.

        I guess it’s a part of the Twitter Blue sub, but there are workarounds.

        My point still stands ‘This is a stupid fucking Way to emphasize things’.

        The kind of thing you’d have in a small apartment where there is no space for a big one and you’re single or a couple and don’t have a lot of dishes to fill a big one with anyway.

          That’s so cute! But… I can’t imagine what I could remove from my kitchen to make room for that. I’d love to add a rice cooker but there’s no room for that.

            I have a tiny kitchen but also an appliance addiction. I have an entire folding table dedicated to all my beautiful machines for which I lack counter space, lol

            When I lived in a studio with negligible counter space, the portable dishwasher sat atop one of those commercial grade wire rolling racks, which also doubled as shelves for my irresponsible amount of spices

            Don’t let lack of counter space stifle your maximalism. Just make more counter space lol

              LOL agreed.

              I actually got the cheap table tops from IKEA and some adjustable metal legs and I use a weird space where the extra long radiator is and made a counter top out of it.

              Making more space is almost always a good idea. And there are lots of ways to do it.

              Haha, I love that. Spices are another one of my weaknesses as well. And I’d like nothing more than to do something similar to what you did, actually.

              Problem is my wife doesn’t like the aesthetics of my solutions. I’m slowly wearing her down, tho. We went with something that she liked but wasn’t as practical as it should’ve been. She’s realized that it’s not what we we were hoping for and has agreed to change it. Haven’t found anything worthwhile at the obvious stores like Ikea and such so now I’m looking for alternatives.

    To show what a dishwasher does, they built one with a large window on the side for childrens television (“Sendung mit der Maus”, German public TV Station ARD). Quite interesting and informative.

    The real reason is because dish washer water is freaking filthy until the last spray off.

    You don’t want to see that shit and eat off it afterwards.

        Dishwasher is regularly recirculating dirty, greasy water before rinsing. In order to save water, it just cycles the water with all the dirt through the dishes again, many times over. And only then rinses with a pure one.

          They rinse for like 15 minutes, then pump that off and get new water for the water, pump that off, and get a clean rinse.

            Most people prefer ignorance to seeing their flatware get sprayed with filthy water. They’d say “eww that’s disgusting” and hand wash everything from now on.

            It’s because of this recirculation that dishwashers consume significantly less water than hand washing.

              But people use same water when handwashing too. One sinkful of soapy water first where you wash them, then a sinkful of clean water for rinsing and put them in the drying rack to dry. I believe the significantly is a debatable.

                Modern dishwashers have to use less than 5 gallons of water for a normal load. To get the Energy Star rating, that has to be 3 gallons.

                A typical two-basin, 33 inch kitchen sink, each basin measures 16in x 14in. Each inch of depth in each basin is approximately 1 gallon. To fill up both basins to a depth of 5 inches, that would take 9.6 gallons, more than 3x more than an Energy Star dishwasher.

                So yes, significantly.

            An average person doesn’t want to see this and doesn’t know it happens, which would potentially tank the reviews for the device.

    I think it just might be because the seal around the glass would inevitably fail from constant thermal expansion during normal use, thus leaking all over the damn place.

        Ovens don’t have a bunch of high pressure water sprayers in them. They just leak hot air at worst.

          ‘Just hot air’ is a bit of an understatement. Mine goes to 500°C during a cleaning cycle. It physically locks the door so you can’t open it when it does this. My dishwasher I can open at any time.

            Fun fact you can hack a self-cleaning oven to use the hellfire temperature of 500 ° F to make good ass thin crust pizza!

            you have to figure out how to bypass the door lock, use a pizza stone, and put the pizza as high up in the oven as possible. but you can get a damn good thin crust pizza with enough creative engineering and some experimentation.

            recommended to try this project in winter as it dumps loads of heat in the house lol

    The only thing I remember about Stewart Little, beyond him being a mouse, is that in the movie he gets trapped in the dishwasher and he is only saved because the family for some reason has a dishwasher with a glass front.

    For some reason that scene has stuck in my head for 25 years. And I swear its because of their weird glass-front dishwasher that is just so out of place.
