No, you can't load the dishwasher

When I say this, it's not because I am nice and want to save you the trouble, it's because you can't do it properly.

It amazes me how many people stick stuff in randomly (wasting large amounts of space) or leave large bits of pasta / whatever on stuff (otherwise known as 'how to block your filter') or put things that shouldn't be in (crystal glass or wood, for example).

The most recent guest - wave :) - was mostly very good but still took the view that it was easier to buy new wood utensils every few months rather than wash them by hand...

LOL... Yeah - I must admit - I'm quite anal about the dishwasher. I don't put pots and pans in there (particularly, as they are teflon / Tefal - and only take 60 seconds and a bit of elbow grease to get *anything* off them) .
I also like certain things in certain places...
And the kids not scraping the stuff off the plates also is irritating (but not a major problem...)

I have a lesson I've got that I basically say "stick the stuff in, then spin the middle sprinkler arm and if it doesn't spin, check and reload, spin again".

Otherwise nothing is rinsed properly.

But wooden utensils I put in and have done for years with no ill effect? Whats happened to yours?
(I must admit, I did put a wooden chopping board in once, and it broke in two lol).

Getting them wet and then hot = warp and crack, especially if there are several pieces of wood fitted together.

The thicker the wood, the more likely it is, from memory, hence the chopping board.
