Is there such a thing as utensils that are food stick-on resistant?
I'm looking to replace my pieces-parts accumulation of silverware. I
get very inconsistent results in the dishwasher no matter what
detergent I use, even adding TSP.

Thanks

What foods do you get that stick on utensils? If I use peanut butter, it
will stick to the knife. I just use a plastic brush to scrub it off. What
else would stick? Usually a quick rinse is all I need to get anything off.

Maybe you have a bad dishwasher?

You don't need new flatware, you need to fix the dishwasher. My stuff
comes out perfect every time. If normal food is sticking, you are not
getting proper cleaning action for some reason.

Are you asking about eating utensils that you don't rinse off before
you put them in the dishwasher and let sit hours, if not days? Good
luck! Maybe plastic will do that, but I doubt it.

Husband's brother declared that his wife would let the dishwasher wait 2
weeks to run because there was room for one more spoon. Maybe that was
true. It seems that no matter how high and low I search, there's always one
coffee cup or glass that is overlooked when the dw is started. I fill the
stray with water and use it as a soaking mug for whatever flatware needs
washing before the next dw run. You'd think it would not be good for a
wooden handled steak knife but never has been a problem. Not a good idea
for Grandmother's sterling but it works okay for day-to-day stainless
flatware. Polly

I've had certain $2 for a set of 4 steak knives from the grocery store
for decades and they are fine. The handles aren't as shiny, but they
are in one piece with no cracks, blah, blah, blah. Makes me wonder
what other people are doing to theirs.

Also, I have no problem running my grandmother's sterling (Jensen)
through the dishwasher. Honestly. People are idiots, but more likely
they're just a dumbass who reads something stupid on the internet and
reports it as fact, pretending it actually happened to him/her...
something that happens a lot here, in case you haven't noticed.

Flat ware is what the OP calls silverware. Unless it is made of
silver, it is called flatware. Very few utensils are made from silver,
most are stainless steel. That is the knives, forks, spoons, used to
eat with or serve food with.

Eat with your fingers! Problem solved!

Save your money. If I'm going to use my dishwasher, I first run a basin of hot soapy water and toss cooking tools into it as I go, then into the d/w when I'm ready to run it. No dishwasher is going to remove caked/baked on food, esp. where crevices and tines are concerned.

Mine does. I don't rinse before loading - when it's full, I run it (never sits more than a day or two). As long as it's not overloaded, everything comes out clean.

My parents do it that way. They hand wash then put in the dishwasher. I
just give them a quick rinse. If there is something stuck on something,
I'll scrub it off with a brush.

Really? I don't think so. I rinse off everything before they go into
the dishwasher. What I don't understand is the people who put their
cooking pots and pans in there.

I don't waste time or water doing the dishwasher's job, I just
put the dirty dishes in there. If there happens to be room, I'll
put a pot or two in there, as well.

I especially do it now that the dishwashing detergents are so bad.
I've upgraded to the expensive stuff (Finish), but I'm not taking any
more chances.

Why don't you give it a chance? I use Finish with no problems.

I rarely even run mine now. I might do it when my husband is home because
there will be more dishes then. But now, it's just easier for me to wash
the few things that we use in the sink. Especially since we often don't eat
the same thing or eat dinner together. I've been eating the soup and bread
all week. I just reheat some of the soup each night in a small pan and then
I only have that, a spoon and my soup mug. I just one of those little cheap
paper plates to put the bread on.

I don't really devote any time to this - it's about a quart of water in a vessel and a second to toss em in.

I rarely use my d/w. Whenever I've decided to let dishes and tools pile up from a couple of meals and use the d/w, I am forever diggin back in there for a certain whisk, rubber spat, spoon etc. I'm not crazy about the noise factor when it's running either.

Heat the soup in the mug or bowl in the mike and you'll have less to wash.

You might have to clean the filters if you haven't done that for a
while. Typically, there will be a outer and inner filter. That's should
be the first thing to check. Good luck.

It's good to hear that all women do not wash the dishes before putting
it in the dishwasher! I like to give my dishwasher a real challenge but
my wife just can't bring herself to load dirty dishes up in there.

An automatic dishwasher is right up there with clothes washers, air
conditioning, rice cookers, and microwave ovens. Thank God that we live
in these times.

She's almost right, Ophelia. Here in Virginia, flatware is any knife, fork
or spoon (silver or not) that you throw out in the driveway and run back and
forth over with your car until they are well flattened.

And of course I'm just kidding. heheh

I put everything I use in soak after I'm done. That makes cleanup later
very easy. I hand-wash everything and my dishwasher is only a drying rack.
Every once in awhile, I'll run the dishwasher just to keep it clean. It's a
worthless appliance in my world but I realize it's good for others in other
situations.

We used to stick the dish sponge in the DW too. For some reason, we
don't do it any more. My wife will sometimes microwave the sponge to get
rid of nasty microorganisms.

It's a pretty goofy thing to do in my awesome opinion. I like my
dishwasher, mostly because it's really quiet. The electronic controls
make me a little nervous though. I've had bad luck with electronic
control boards and dishwashers.
