I've been noticing people here and there mentioning putting things other than dishes in the dishwasher! I am intrigued by this. What else beside dishes does one use the dishwasher to clean?

Just the dishes and pans too. I have come across recipes for cooking a well foil wrapped salmon. Don’t often cook a whole salmon. It’s going to be interesting to see what replies you get

I'd be afraid of the salmon. Maybe on the dry cycle?

Mostly dishes. Often I ad the sponges and occasionally a dog toy.

I know someone who washes their sneakers or runners in there! Not me, only dishes. Love Chris

Oh good grief! I'd have never thought to do that.

Sink sponges - put in silverware container.

Not me, but some people wash their "gimme" caps there. Called gimme because the cap has advertising on the brim and is free.
I sometimes add the brush I use for my dishes or pans.

I guess I'm pretty traditional and just do dishes in the dishwasher.. But I tend to wash water glasses, wine glasses, anything with wood and sharp knives by hand.

I put in just my dishes - but, on occasion, I will put a sponge in. Hugs, Laura

Anything made from glass,china & stainless steel.Also tupperware & similar plastic boxes.NEVER animal bowls.
Found out that labels on store bought jars come off ,when put in the dishwasher .The labels glue gets dissolved & the paper dried label is next to the jar.The jars are then given to people to reuse .

Why not animal bowls?
My tupperware warped when I put it in there. So, I don't do that any more.
Husband has a thing about animal bowls being in the dishwasher with our stuff.
New models of dishwashers have their elements covered now.Tupperware was only put in the top rack in the earlier dishwashers we had.My tupperware is from the 60's & some is still going strong but as they break they are being replaced with boxes made in NZ ( can't remember hoe to spell their name Sistame)

WE put pet toys in ours. Not the plush ones, but any hard plastic toy. We even wash some of the smaller cages too!

Do you mean like bird cages?
The little carry crates, but mostly toys
But,when we do this it is just those things, no people dishes at the same time

I put my husband's combs in. Nothing else besides our dishes. Hugs. Nan

Do you put your combs in there too?
I don't use combs-just brushes. And sometime put those in too.
