I've heard you can cook salmon in it, but I've never tried it myself.

Sterilize? I don't think so. Wash in preparation for canning? Sure.
But that's just washing dishes. :-)

What about the "sanitize" cycle? Would that be "safe" enough, or must
one absolutely boil the jars?

One must *absolutely* boil the jars - NO exceptions.

My understanding is this: If you are going to process (boiling water
bath or pressure canner) for at least 10 minutes, you don't need to
sterilize the jars. I understand 'sterilize' to mean, for canning jar
prep, boiling in water for 10 minutes. If you're going to process for
10 minutes or more, clean and hot are all that's necessary. I don't
know about 'sanitize' cycles -- sorry. When I jam, I boil the jars and
process for 10 minutes. Linda Amendt (preserving book author) talks
about too much processing being hard on the gel set and I'd have to
check to see what her exact words are about it. U of MN says anything
under 15 minutes isn't going to affect the set.

Canning jars do not need to be sterilized if the food is pressure
canned or in a BWB for at least 10 minutes. I put mine through the
dishwasher and try to time it so that I can take out hot jars for
canning.

You're absolutely right!

I put anything that need cleaning (which fits and bad things
won't happen if I do) into the dishwasher.

curtain rings, tools, garden and building type, oven shelves, not pots
though (put those in the washing machine), paint brushes, dirty
electronics, anything and everything that needs an aggressive clean
and will survive the heat. Mains flexes are better cleaned in the
washing machine - but DONT do that unless you fully understand the
implications and are able to properly insulation test afterwards.

Most things are better off in the washing machine though.

I put my eyeglasses through the wash and rinse cycle every
month or so. My oily skin gradually causes a build-up that
can be cleaned off the lens but builds up in the hinges.

I used to do that, but it made my glasses peel -- I have plastic

A couple times a year, I put in the electrostatic elements from my Honeywell
whole-house air cleaner. Only one of the two fits in at a time, and the water
gets rather grossly black from all the dust and dirt that's been collected on
these high-voltage units.

I probably wouldn't wash any dishes simultaneously!

Thanks everyone, a lot of great idea's here.

Hmm, let's see. You can sterilize canning jars, clean combs of that muck in

Was kidding on sterilizing jars, but how about the grates on a grill-with a
good coating of oven cleaner first?

I often use my dishwasher to give a 3- or 4-minute sudsing to pots and pans. I
then stop the dishwasher, take the pans out, and it is an easy job to give them
a quick rinse and going-over with a sponge.
I also do this with the filter from my air conditioner-- a few minutes is
all that's needed, and it saves wear and tear on the item, and saves running
the dishwasher through the whole cycle.

Every part of my range hood that comes off (filters, fan, diffuser for
