Nice, does the rinse cycle apply the seasoning-quick-dry solution?

[WillTravelForFood]

you fill the detergent section with your favorite rub instead of soap powder. Works every time!

No!!!!!!!!

THIS is how my more clueless son-in-law basically destroyed his grandmother's cast iron, while he was a bachelor. I'm going to have to do an electrolysis bath to restore one of the pieces its so messed up.

Yes, I always heard it is not good to run through a dishwasher

It's kinda depressin' that we live in what's touted as "the information age"................yet for some it still doesn't work.................

[DaveD]

Proof, as if more were needed, that information =/= knowledge...

Last year my daughter hired a house keeper to come in once every 2 weeks. The first time there she cleaned the 2 cast iron skillets until there wasn’t any of "that nasty black stuff" on them.

The Dutch ovens go on the top rack.

No problem here, our LG dishwasher thru a shoe last night....piece a junks less than 2 years old.

I’m really not a fan of LG appliances

We remodeled our kitchen a little over three years ago including new appliances. The dales guy where we bought them said "Don’t buy the high end stuff. They’re all shit at every price level. (A quote). Save your money for repairs. Oh a get the service contract. You’ll need it." No kidding. That’s actually what he said. So we went with a full suite of lower end Fridgidare and have used the service contract four time with no costs. He was right I guess.

[smokin fool]

This wasn't a high ender either, it was less than $500 on sale.
Repair guy coming tomorrow, see how much K-Y I'm need....

What could go wrong.

Jfrosty27 I'm going to have to challenge your sales guy on that one. I suspect he's correct for some brands, but we have grown very fond of what some people consider a high end dishwasher. It's from Miele, they of course have several models across a range, but the one we favor runs/ran around $1500 installed (the warrantee is extended when you have them do that). While that seems like a lot when some people think a $2-300 one is "normal, but lifetime value is a valid calculation. And then there's a performance factor as well. We are particularly annoyed by the average dishwasher and the amount of noise it makes when running a cycle. The Miele is so quiet that we've had friends try to "help" with post party clean up open the washer mid cycle because they couldn't hear it running standing in front of it (though the glowing lights noting the cycle in process should have been a clue, but......). Our last one was still going strong when we sold the house after 14 years of service with no repairs or service calls ever needed. The current one is at 6 years, again, no service calls or issues. While I agree that quality appliances are very difficult to identify these days, this is one where I have no hesitation recommending.

[Jfrosty27]

Ok, I’ll concede that. I’ve not even heard of that brand though. I guess that’s my issue in this area. Should have done more and better research on the subject. 🤦

It's not a situation that "normal" people have opportunities to learn from. We've done 6 major kitchen remodels in the past 35 years (we're addicts/idiots you choose). I spent 60 years "healing" cars, and likewise, do the same for houses (certain of them beg to be fixed). We've made mistakes, and we've "suffered" from decline of manufacturing pride in some areas (refrigerators are the worst for me). The bad make you appreciate the good and adopt loyalty.

I did that to my mom's cast iron griddle, it was her mom's that she ended up with. I have it now (I looked up the Griswald logo and it was made about 1921). It was the late 1970s, I was 8 or so and she told me to do the dishes. I did as I had been shown: rinse everything and put into the dish washer. That is what I did, including the griddle. She was pretty mad but conceded that it wasn't my fault because I didn't know any better. Trust me, I do now: that is one lesson that I still remember.

Once our maid ran one of my black iron skillets through the dishwasher AND she washed all the seasoning out of one of my enamel steel coffee cups. Wife had to beg me not to fire her...
