Never owned a dishwasher. The one at work was forever blocking, leaking and getting dirty, which put me off. Id rather just do them by hand. And with the price of electricity now, probably cheaper

I didn't have one for years but now I'd be lost without it. But you're right, keeping it clean is a job in itself xx
I got half price pork joint snd half price beef joints from tesco. I call in lidl for the cheese as aldi stopped doing strength 5. Iv started getting huge family tubs of yougart, mini sacks of potatos and cheese in lidl. I am the dish washer and im run about 59 million times a day 😂😂😂

Haha! I was the dishwasher in our old flat for 7 years. When we moved back to England and rented a house I was adamant that I needed a dishwasher. I couldn't go back now! xx
I never judge when it comes to cheese
I have a large dishwasher that also dries. I put it on every other day. Great vid TFS x

I need to get one that’s better at drying when we finally replace ours! Thanks lovely xx
Had my dishwasher since 2019 and never used it.just feels faster to wash stuff by hand. Still got the tablet pack that came with it.

Wow! I'm impressed with this. I sometimes feel it is faster to wash by hand, but other times at the end of the evening I just want to quickly be rid of the sight of the dishes so I shove them in the washer (dish washer, that is!)

Oh absolutely this. I shove the dirty dishes straight in the dishwasher so I don't have to look at them piled next to the sink. If I were more organised i'd just wash the straight away but 9 times out of 10 I'm dashing out the door immediately after feeding the hoardsxx
I run my dishwasher every evening before I go to bed. I put everything that can be put in it IN IT!! It washes and dries overnight and everything gets put away in the morning to start all over again 🤦♀️. I love your videos.

The Pork dish that you are going to do sounds interesting. I did a slow cooked Pork shoulder and put some marinade sauce on it last night it was lovely had it on crusty rolls with gravy. This morning, I put on a beef and mushroom casserole and what do 2 of my sons say Oh the slow cooker again!! well tough because the weather is getting cooler, and the slow cooker is my best friend. I use the dish washer 2-3 times a day.

Theres 10 of us we've got a dishwasher but in the corner not plugged in got no space for it 😅 so use the good old sink to be honest i wash up that much i think it would cost a lot to have it up and running x

Wow that is a lot of dishes! I hope you have help with it! It's the drying and putting away that annoys me. Same with laundry, I don't mind getting it washed but then it sits there while I gather the motivation to fold it and put it away xx

We rarely eat out either, family of three,run the dishwasher once a day.
We have been shopping at Lidl in the past few months and I must say we are very happy with the quality of food and prices. We use these dishwasher tablets, too and they do a great job. We have a slimline dishwasher and we run it at least once a day during the week, usually twice a day at the weekends when I do most of the cooking (family of 4).

The tablets are pretty good aren’t they! Xx
Dishwasher the same, at least twice if not 3 times. I do see the difference though by using more expensive tablets. It pains me, the same as toilet roll and kitchen roll prices; but I do see a difference in the clean by using a higher end branded type xx
@mumthings

I think you're right, there definitely is a difference in quality with the tablets but i'm loathe to buy an expensive brand because I might not be able to go back to the cheap ones! The Aldi ones (not the essentials ones) are pretty good xx

@@mumthings that’s worth knowing! The thing is my dishwasher only has a couple years of left life I reckon so it’s like skincare it tends to get more intense and more expensive the older you get 😂😂😂 xx
Seeing the cheese, I just had to get the cheese out of my fridge and have a few slices 😅 I run my dishwasher 2 times a day, it's a slimline one though, not full size xx

Id say 2 to 3 times a day for your dishwasher isnt unreasonable. When everyone lived at home my dishwasher was on 2 to 3 times a day now I live alone its on once a day maybe twice if Im baking or meal preping. I buy my dishwasher tablets from Home Bargains 110 Finish tablets for something like £8.99 or £9.99. Love my dishwasher and will never be without one.

Glad I'm not alone in it! That's a good price. I will have to get some next time I'm in there for cat litter xx
I have never had a dishwasher. Well, there was one in a rented house once, but we never used it. I prefer to wash by hand in a bowl of water, it's quicker and cheaper. 🙂

I think if nothing else for the amount of dishes we create it's the cost of running it vs the time spent, for me I think it's worth it :) xx
Only my sweet hubby and I so every other day. Just home from England, what a wonderful trip. Managed to get into a couple of your stores, what fun comparing and finding g new treats to bring home. I feel like your groceries for the most part are more expensive.

We only use the dishwasher when we have guests over (for Sunday lunch, say) or if I’ve been doing some batch cooking. Replaced it just before Christmas as the old one died on us, but it’s nowhere near as efficient - another reason why we don’t use it much. Only two of us so I’d as soon wash up by hand.
@mumthings

Ah that must be frustrating. I'm not the biggest fan of our current one but it came with the house and I'm not replacing it till it's beyond repair xx
We run the dishwasher at least once a day. We're a family of 3 stay at home adults with varied diets so 3 different meals is typical. We're in the US and our new dishwasher holds more than the one that died in January. I also seem to remember that UK dishwashers are smaller. I can get a day's worth of dishes in mine.

It's brilliant how far appliances have come on in terms of capacity. When this dishwasher eventually dies I will replace it with a bigger one (it came with the house so I'm not complaining). We have a 9kg washing machine and when I'm visiting my mum her 6kg machine seems tiny in comparison! xx
That pork looks great! Can't wait to see what you do with it. When hubby and I are home, the two of us run the dishwasher maybe once a week. At my father in law's house we run every other day. I am not a fan of dishwashers. It shrinks the tupperware and makes the dishes tap together no matter how carefully I load it. My husband will put non-stick pans in, and wooden spoons---arghhh!

@@mumthings I completely understand. If I had your household to run, I would also. (Once, a wooden spoon got singed the bottom of the dishwasher. Oops.)
Our dishwasher sits on the worktop it’s tiny but very good. Like everything Japanese. Mum doesn’t like Lidl she said it’s no cheaper than Asda now. I went to a discount supermarket and went to town on cheap tofu!! Whoowhoo!!! Ohh we run it twice a day as we have a family of six but I do hand wash my large pots and pans. If that makes sense. And I don’t wash the babies bottles in the dishwasher neither.

Good score with the tofu! Makes perfect sense. I use a lot of enamel and cast iron pots that can't go through the dishwasher. And I wash the kids bottles by hand too. They don't use baby bottles anymore but the straws etc all need hand washing xx
I know my mum has used the dishwasher tablets from lidl. She says they aren't had but on certain glasses they can leave streaks!

Ah that's annoying! I use white vinegar instead of rinse aid and squirt some extra in the machine is anything greasy is going in. Maybe that might help? xx
Once sometimes twice, depends if I am batch cooking or baking, we went to Lidl last thurs to have a look round but I can,t seem to like it really, I just don,t know why.

I cook from scratch snd 3 meals a day for me and 2 for girls plus snacks coffees etc . I only put cutlery and plates doshes never ever saucepans etc tupperware because its as hany to steep them and fill the keetle wash them by hand immediately and that way the food does become caked on also the dish waher is freed up for dishes .
