I'm of a different mind on that one. I have little interest in
tolerating anything in my kitchen that does not go in the machine. We
have items that my wife insists on but on my own I'd have almost none
of them. I'd be tempted to ditch the cast iron even.

I wouldn't even think of tossing it, if your wife is a regular cast
iron cookware user one must assume she has far great upper body
strength than you... ditch her cast iron pots and she'll pummel you to
within an inch of your life! LOL
