Overwhelmed with a simple kitchen counter - who has an idea?

...or do you have people running around who would put cast iron in the dishwasher??

unfortunately yes and that with latent reluctance and constant ignorance.

We are two as well. Our dishwasher will last 100 years because of careful use. Because our two plates are quickly washed by hand. And dried. 5 minutes and done. K.

We also always have the problem of having the dishwasher at least once a week filled enough that we feel good about running it. Not ideal—since we often rinse roughly with water before loading it to avoid mold, it "wastes" more water than necessary. But if, like this week, there are at least two dinners out or "just" a snack planned (we both have a very good cafeteria at lunch), then it just doesn't add up to a full load quickly.

Now the truth is gradually coming to light. The dishwasher is completely overrated. Karsten

Yes, it is often overrated. However, with my parents, it runs daily. I also assume that with children it will become significantly more frequent at some point. ;-) And for our invitations, I am always happy not to have to wash everything by hand. :)
