They're only useful for parties imo. Otherwise you put your spatula (or whatever) in the dishwasher and have to wait all week for the dishwasher to fill up with all the other dirty dishes just so you can have your clean spatula back. But yes in the US they are in every kitchen.
A family with kids goes through a lot of dishes.
Ain't that the truth. The amount and types keep changing as they grow, too.
I'm a single person and my regular sized dishwasher runs 1-2 times a week. I use a lot of bowls while cooking and containers for leftovers and stuff. Pots fill the lower floor up pretty quickly. Pans, knifes and anything wooden I wash by hand. I could live with a smaller dishwasher but then it would run even more frequently. I can't imagine a life without one.
There are 2 of us in the house and we try to run the dishwasher every day. If you cook your own meals you can easily fill the dishwasher daily.
How big is your dishwasher? I live in a three person household and the machine runs once every day on average.
At least.
I like mini dishwashers, since its generally only one days worth, two st most of dishes. Rinse, put in washer, done and ready to go by the next day!
Why not just handwash the dishes you might ask? Because my roommate will openly judge me!
Why do you even rinse? Let the dishwasher take care of it!
