27 gallons to hand wash dishes! Good God, you must leave the water running as you go to the market!

My knives (not table-setting knives) were expensive, so I always do them by hand. In addition, some contain high levels of CARBON steel, not stainless. Those would rust.

Whaaaaaat? 27 gallons of water used hand washing? No way. I just washed flatware, plates and the pots and pans used to cook today for 4 people and by my calculations of the flow rate, used about 5 gallons of water.

Boogie, I have a Laguiole style steak knife made in Thiers, France and it cost like 200$ and I put it in the dishwasher and I have 40$ Wusthof steak knife and I hand wash. I don't know why, but it is what I do. I think the Wusthof will go in the dishwasher soon. Worst case is they spot and I have to rewash. Not like the knives will get dull as its water not rocks.

Unless your water is just trickling out, you're using a lot more than 5 gallons. Water flow is deceptively fast.

Anyway, I'm learning a lot of dishwasher use. I was under the assumption running it all of the time was wasteful, so I usually hand wash if there's just a few plates and cups lying around. We don't usually run ours until it is full, though. But it's good to know that in comparison it actually uses less water. |
