How many times do you ....

[droverjess]

How many times a day do you run your dishwasher?

2 to 3 times / day would be my normal as I put pans, Thermy , all plates etc.

However with houseful it can be 4 times and I wondered if that was OTT and what everyone else did?

After supper last night had both Thermy bowls in. One from cookies and one from sauce.

I do also wash up stuff either because I need to use it immediately or is not DW proof.

Look forward to your replies.

only once a day , i hate unpacking the thing  

DJ you are a male   ops or maybe not

All good i misread again 

[droverjess]

Whoaaaa LOL where did that come from?  Ah I see you misread it...... More LOL

Mine is set at waist height for bad backs very easy to load and unload, and no one else even looks at a dirty dish in this house, except DD when she here.
I do insist from time to time that the others unload it, as a matter of principle. However sometimes the aggro is worse than doing it and am always so busy.

Must dash, be back later.

sorry love i misread the last line 

[droverjess]

No worries

Just once a day, before we go to bed and it's meant to be DS's job to unpack before school each day.

I only run mine once a day usually. Usually last thing of a night ready to unpack I the morning. I do wash pots, pans and TM bowls by hand

I have the dish drawers so would do 2 per day, sometimes 3 if I am cooking a lot.  I don't put big items in there like huge tupperware containers, saucepans (rarely have a need to use them anyway) nor the TMX bowl.  I also hate unloading dishwashers but it has to be done and I am the only one who can do it unfortunately.

Gosh you must go through alot of dishes to run the dishwasher 4 times a day.....  I only run mine once BUT I very rarely put my Thermomix Bowl in the dishwasher for some reason.  I dont know why buy I just seem to chuck it under the hot tap when I have finished with it.  Maybe I should run it through the dishwasher and get it all nice and shiny again lol...

dede and wonder if you do it after 12 and before 7am in the monring it cheaper to run (off peak rates )

We don't have a dishwasher
I do all our dishes by hand, usually just after breakfast, lunch and dinner, but I'll do them more if I'm doing a lot of cooking. We don't have that many bowls, utensils, etc.

Usually just once.  If I've had a big cooking day I might run it twice.  I only put my thermie bowl in if I've got the space come the end of the day, otherwise I just rinse it as per normal.  Same with any pots or pans I may use, they go in if I've got the space, if not I just hand wash it quickly.  There are 2 adults and one toddler in our household.

Two or three times a week or when I run out of wine glasses.

I hope for your dishwasher's sake that you never stop drinking Gert, otherwise it will lose its purpose in life. I'm sure I don't have to worry though

I put most things in my dishwasher except my grandmother's bone handled butter knives and my TC bowl. It usually goes on at bedtime and I unload it at breakfast time.  I love it when we have all the family over and then it will go on twice or even three times. I am perfectly happy to leave the dirty dishes over night if I know they can go in the dishwasher the next day.
