    I think you've got confused about what I was saying, and totally missing the point I'm trying to make! Obviously if you've got a dishwasher then you're going to use it instead of hand washing, like you say that's a given, but that wasn't the original point.

    But you're right, it's not important! :p

    Also, it's not an argument, it's debating!

    I think maybe I am missing the point. Maybe you are too. I'm at a point in my life that I would refuse to buy anything that I couldn't easily wash whether that means sticking it in the dishwasher or spending 30 seconds cleaning it under a running hot water tap.

    Life is too short :D

    It's not that short that I can't spare 30 seconds to run it under the tap! :rotfl:

    Still different strokes for different folks! :)

    When we were on holiday, we washed all our walking boots-which were rather`fragrant`- in the jacuzzi. They came up lovely!

    I suppose someone is going to say that`s not what the jacuzzi is for, but so what, it did the job!

    Of course that is what they are for... and to attract your alien brethren

    Not sure of your point there. I was just saying it takes less than 30 seconds to rinse a pan under the tap.

    But your 2 seconds in a DW could totally ruin a pan I've used for 20+ years and only ever spent 30 seconds washing under a hot water tap after every use.

    Yes, you can , but they may cost £100+ each to replace. Not sure about you but I have no wish to replace pans which will continue to be passed down the generations and last at least 100 years more, as long as they never get put in a DW along route ;)

    Just find it hard to get my head round not using/buying something you might like (talking kitchen items) just because you'd have to run it under the rap rather than place it in the dishwasher!

    Personally I enjoy washing up, I find it relaxing! Then again, I also don't mind housework!

    Now that's something I can't get my head round!:rotfl:
