Don't quite know what it is, even as a kid at home I hated it, when we got our first dishwasher it was like freedom from this dreary task. Now as a liveaboard I find my hands back in the sink:sleeping:

Could this be my holy grail?? http://www.yankodesign.com/2009/03/09/teeny-tiny-dishwasher/ yes yes, **** when you're on the hook, and no, I draw the line at plastic throwaway.

Sorry, spoilt brat rant over................................ Well its better than talking about tax.

Geez man, I hope the wife doesn't see this toy, one of her good faults are that she has small feet and can get nearer the sink !!

I like washing up, it cleans the hands properly after working on the engine or toilet/holding tank.

You remind me of a mate of mine. Used to have a caravan and did the washing up in a bucket. Caught him one morning emptying it and yes, you guessed it, dual purpose bucket. I never had another cuppa in their caravan.
 
In 'My old man and the sea' the father thought that since they don't think of washing their plates between courses, so why between meals? Worked alright until they got the runs......

I agree 5he endless cycle of fetching fresh water on to a boat and the whole washing up thing especially undwr searing heat of the greek skies is ,must be gruelling.Try it in uk rain .
 
I don't see the need to wash a frying pan as the sizzling fat must be too hot for any germs to survive. From there it is a slippery slope down to using a paper towel to wipe the dishes. This coming year I have promised myself to change my ways. I have been looking at fancy saucepans made of copper with two lugs instead of a handle so I can eat straight out of the pan. There are also chromium plated shiny pans that would grace any table that are a bit cheaper with less maintenance. Keep the odd clean plate for a guest of course.

Yes, yes, YES! I would pay a FORTUNE for this! I haven't washed up for years and I'd vowed to never live again without a dishwasher. It's the crappiest thing about being aboard. And there is nothing wrong with being a spoilt brat - after all, this whole thing is about living your DREAM!
 
Eating out of the cooking pan we call 'Montalbano' style...
Having X-mass lunch with some friends, Mrs. DW was fascinated to see the hostess hold each plate down low for the dog to lick, before it went in the dish washer.
