I haven't used the dishwasher since we sterilized all the quart jars when we canned tomatoes. When I was taking care of "T" and cooking all the time I used it at least once a week. Now that I'm cooking for just one, sometimes two, I just wash them by hand.
But when I had the cast on my wrist I reeely wanted to use the damn thing lol It's hard to wash dishes with one hand, or without getting the cast wet.
