Got some major thunderstorms rolling through here so grilling outside is
not an option. I do have a grill pan so I'll cook this hot Italian
sausage on the stovetop.

I've got six sausages, might add a couple of them to some seasoned
tomato sauce to serve over pasta.

I do hope the power doesn't go out.

Sounds good to me!

I hope you've got one of those spatter screens to go on top of your
pan. That's the only thing I hate about frying some things; that
grease can pop and land everywhere.

I do have a couple of spatter screens but they're not really necessary.
I slash the Italian sausages crosswise so the fat leaches out into the
grill pan. Also so they don't curl up when cooking. I don't cook them
on high heat, cook them low and slow. There's not much spatter.

I don't slash them. I just poke a bunch of holes in them to let the fat out.

Whatever works. I don't get a lot of grease or spatter from these
sausages. Joan was talking about needing a spatter screen. I do own a
couple but I don't use them very often.

Those screens are a neat idea, but they are almost as much trouble to
clean as simply cleaning up the spatters. Sometimes I use them for
frying hamburgers, but never had much problems cooking Italian sausages
without a screen.

Yeah, good idea. But with just two of us, I usually just wash everything
by hand.

With just the two of us, I run the dishwasher every day. Twice, sometimes,
on the weekend.

It's just two of us, too, but the dishwasher runs every couple of days.

I don't mind hand washing some things but there are a few items ...
pots that have cheese melted in them (gunks up the sponge), whisks,
and I can guarantee if I had a splatter screen, it would be on
the dishwasher hit parade.

Agree with that. With the two of us, the machine runs roughly every
other day. We have enough dishes and utensils that we can wait for it
to be filled to run it. Everything comes out perfect at the push of a
button. Takes only a few minutes to put them away.

Sensible, even a cheap machine does a good job.

I fry saw-seege in a high-sided pot, a braiser, practically no spatter
escapes... available in various size capacities... for smaller cooking
I have a six quart braiser... even a chicken fryer is better to
protect against spatter than the typial skillet. If I'm going to do a
lot of frying I cut a burner-sized hole in a sheet of aluminum foil,
protects the surrounding area.

I ran our dishwasher a few days ago for the first time in four
months... we don't generate enough items to wash in a week, we wash by
hand, takes five minutes to hand wash two place settings. And I
always wash all cookware by hand. I wash cutting boards and cutlery
by hand too. In fact last night I ordered a new set of cutting boards
from Amazon, supposed to arrive tomorrow, I thought these looked good:
https://www.amazon.com/Original-Reve...70_&dpSrc=srch
I wanted to order the red set but wouldn't allow me, black will be
fine.

Nancy, cooking cheese is what your nonstick coated pan is for.
I don't own any nonstick coated pans, but soaking with Dawn for ten
minutes releases most stuck on bits.. for the rest I use a stainless
steel wire spunge, for some reason gunk doesn't stick to it, probably
because it wasn't cooked on.

How does hand washing two place settings after dinner make one a
martyr? The ONLY reason for using a dishwasher for two place settings
is pure laziness. You probably don't bathe but once a year because
hand washing your body more than weekly makes you a martyr! LOL

Hand washing two place settings wastes no water, we don't fill our
oversized sink, we use a plastic dishpan... doesn't mess our hands
either, we use rubber gloves.
BTW, dishwashers do not sterilze, it's not an autoclave... and even if
you autoclaved your dishes then to keep them sterile they'd each
require individual packaging like band aids... I can assure you that
your kitchen cupboards are not sterile. Your entire house is not even
sanitary. Dishwashers claim to sanitize but ten minite out of the
dishwasher the unsanitary air in your house makes them unsanitary.
You want sanitary, use paper plates, in fact cheap paper plates are
sterile, as sterile as a roll of newprint, which is in fact sterile.
Your ream of printer paper is sterile.
I can understand using a dishwasher daily if one has a large family,
but for two people it's pure laziness.
I'm usually the one who handwashes dishes right after dinner, because
my wife has butter fingers. I don't bother with a drain board, I set
the washed dishes on a clean towel and then dry with a fresh towel and
put those two place settings away... takes me no more than five
minutes.
Dishwashing compounds ruin good dinnerware, also ruins good cookware,
it etches... machine wash good dinnerway, glassware, cookware every
day it won't be a month it'll all look sand blasted. Even a saloon
doesn't machine wash their glassware, they'd need to toss it in the
trash before the week is out, no one is going want to drink their
booze from an etched glass. They have a designated set up for hand
washing, typically right under the bar. Hand washing glassware is one
of the duties of a bartender. Restaurants don't machine wash their
glassware either, it's all hand washed. Of course yoose fast food
addicts don't get glassware.

Our family had a splatter screen when I was growing up. I didn't like them but used them back in the day. These days I cook at high temperatures so there's a lot of splatter. I wish there was some way to controlling the grease getting kicked around but I won't use 'em. Using a wok probably helps a little.

I've never thought to worry about it, the dishes may be there two,
possibly three days but they always come out perfect. Our water from
the tap is hotter than I could wash dishes in by hand so I figure I
don't use a heat cycle, nor the dry cycle either.

The only items in the dishwasher are plastic containers used for
storing food in the freezer and those are all hand washed before they
go in the dishwasher... only because the dishwasher does a better job
of removing the oily film deposited on plastic from frozen foods. If
we run the dish washer four times a year that's a lot.
We can easily live without a dishwasher. In fact both of us lived
most of our lives without a dishwasher. This is the only house we
lived in that has a dishwasher, and only because there was one when
we moved in but the thing didn't work. Dishwashers are not very
expensive so we decided to get a top of the line Maytag. The tech who
installed it laughed when he discovered that the last people hooked
it up with automobile heater hoses.

.. The entire hose kit only cost $25.

Lil' Wayne, you and your kiddie diddler partner should be WALLED UP a la "The Cask of Amontillado" and a bunch of flaming NAPALM poured upon you...that would "settle yer hash", once and for all...

Your choleric hatred of those here who call you out on your perverted ways only PROVES that you are guilty of the most heinous moral crimes - W-O-R-D .... !!!

Since I'm disabled, it's a real chore for me to load and unload the
dishwasher. Hand washing is much easier.

As I live alone, I just hand wash twice a day. My dishwasher
stores pots and lids. I'll empty it about once a month, put in a
little dish soap and run it on short cycle just to keep it in
working order. I have a wooden dish rack beside the sink for hand
washed items. I hand wash and rinse but let them air dry. Put
things away right before I hand wash again.

The wooden dish rack stays on counter permanently. I have a
functional kitchen, not a show kitchen. Wooden dish rack is not
an eye sore to me.
