And while we're on the subject... Each slot in your drawer organizer gets a slot in the dishwasher. Big spoons all in one, big forks all in one, knifes all in one. Makes it much easier to unload. I wish I could get my husband to understand that. Bad idea. The silverware will "spoon" and since it nestles against the same piece, will not get clean. Better to mix it up. It only takes a minute to put it away either way. You don't have the quantities of silverware a restaurant is running. |

Which is EXACTLY why it's handles up. People's butts are generally cleaner than their hands, on average. Also, to get the business end closer to the water jets. On sorting: You either sort them on the way in, or on the way out. No time saved. The only way to save time is to put the sorting onto someone else, and throw them into the drawer in one big heap! it's no cleaner to contaminate the handle of a utensil that will get touched by someone. |

If you're loading flatwear in a dishwasher at a restaurant, it's handles up lest you get a health-code violation (because not every employee is diligent about washing hands before unloading...) not a fact. the violation would occur where it's stored, not how it's cleaned. |

Health codes are local...around here, the inspector will cite you if you're flatwear is loaded such that someone is likely to touch the eating surfaces, especially if (s)he observes someone touching the eating surfaces while unloading it. |

Master 2802 Minnetonka, Minnesota Bronze member | Subject: RE: Loading sliverware in the dishwasher.... Funny, but the diswasher we bought shortly before moving, a very nice Bosch, recommended and cleaned better with handles up. Our new house has a slightly older GE model, and it cleans better handles down. I prefer handles up as I have been stabbed twice by sharp knife poiunts - ouch! |

Extreme Veteran 453 Long Island, NY | Subject: RE: Loading sliverware in the dishwasher.... gearboy - 2010-09-29 1:01 PM McFuzz - 2010-09-29 1:13 PM If you're loading flatwear in a dishwasher at a restaurant, it's handles up lest you get a health-code violation (because not every employee is diligent about washing hands before unloading...) At home, it's personal preference. I load sharp knives with the handles up to minimize the contamination of blood on the business-end. Other flatwear, I load business-end up. The bottom of the flatwear basket doesn't get as much water spray as you might imagine, so while it is theoretically 5" closer to the source, it's shrouded enough that stuff may not come clean. Even with the business-end up, it's possible to grab the piece where the handle forms and not contaminate the business-end. If the knife is going to be sharp enough to get jabbed on, it is too sharp to go in the dishwasher and get the edge all chipped and damaged. Those knives get hand washed in the gear-home. Otherwise, I put everything in handles down, so I can see right away where they go when they come out x2! Edited by elbi999 2010-09-30 12:17 PM |

Pro 5011 Twin Cities | Subject: RE: Loading sliverware in the dishwasher.... Mix and match. That way nothing nests in each other. And before you say "But what about knives stabbing people inadvertantly"... good sharp knives do NOT go in the dishwasher. Butter knives are find business end up. |

Just like you don't put baby in a corner... you don't put knives in a dishwasher. Bless you, child. I one time caught our housesitter (and good friend) putting not only our nice knives, but also our nonstick cookware (onto which she had sprayed, and burned, PAM), in the dishwasher. I wept a little that day. |
