Dee Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Did you know that if you let your dishwasher go through its drying cycle for maybe 5 minutes and then open the door to let air dry the dishes dry almost instantly? I never, unless I forget, let them go through the drying cycle. It takes time and it costs money. For myself, I find also, that if I can empty the dishwasher right away, I can begin refilling it right away. There are usually more dishes to put in with me doing some kind of cooking and a retired husband at home, etc.. Try it. I think you'll like it! 4 Quote Link to comment
euphrasyne Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Sometimes I do that when the kids are not here. I have a fancy smancy dishwasher and the drying cycle gets extra hot to complete the sanitize cycle--which I need for the tots and teens. Quote Link to comment
Darlene Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I never knew that Dee. That’s an awesome tip and one that I will definitely try on the next load! Quote Link to comment
themartianchick Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I didn't know that, either! Great tip, Dee! Quote Link to comment
snapshotmiki Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I only use my dishwasher for jars when canning to heat them. As soon as they finish rinsing, I fill them. The next time I can, just let them finish drying as they are already clean. One cycle, 2 canning sessions. Quote Link to comment
dogmom4 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Great tip! I rarely use the drying cycle. I crack the door after the cycle is done and let the hot air to warm the kitchen add moisture to the air. Quote Link to comment
