By hand, I dont have a washer =(
-
Hand - I think If all the dishwashers were destroyed that would be helping the environment definately, get your hands in the sink! x
-
Both, there are some things, such as my cast iron skillets, that a dishwasher will ruin.
-
Dishwasher. It gets them much cleaner than washing by hand and you never get stains in your tea cups.
-
I have a dishwasher, but I wash them by hand. I get them cleaner:)
-
When we puchased our condo, we had the option of adding a dishwasher or an oven. Since I cook and my wife does the dishes, we chose an oven. However, for some strange reason, I end up doing the dishes from time to time. (By hand of course.)

dishwasher

Our dishwasher broke (old) and we can't really afford to replace it. I wouldn't want to, personally, even if we could. By hand is better for the environment. My partner and her son would like a dishwasher when we move, so we will probably get one. My vote is for a nice energy effective GAS range...with 2 ovens...and 6 burners. (but when I bake...I do DO my own dishes as I go along) Otherwise the house rule is THE COOK, does not do dishes....if you don't want to do dishes...COOK!
-
Dishwasher all the way. We have run our Whirlpool dishwasher through its paces and its still good as new.
-
I use a dishwasher except for large pots and pans or surface sensitive baking pans and cookie sheets. We usually have two loads a day. We don't each out much. Cooking three meals a day produces a lot of dirty dishes. I probably wouldn't cook as often if I had to wash them all by hand. :)
-
Both...I use the dishwasher the most though.
-
First I rinse the dishes and then I put them in the dishwasher.
-
I wash them by hand
-
I had a dishwasher but had it taken out to make extra cabinet space and an extra drawer. Since there are only three of us and we only eat one meal at home during the week, a dishwasher just seems a gross waste of hot water and electricity to me. My kitchen sink overlooks my herb garden and a dogwood tree under which is a bird feeder and birdbath, so I don't mind the dishwashing chore at all.
-
I prefer a dishwasher, but since my husband has this *thing* about dishwashers not getting things as clean as he would like, a lot of things end up getting washed by hand in my house. If he's not there and I think I can get the dishes in and out before he notices, dishwasher!
-
By hand. I am the dishwasher. :-p
-
Ever since the BGE bill went up 50% last month I wash them by hand .
-
Dearthair, maith ar tusa!
-
Dishwasher all the way, unless it's the biggest pots, cast iron pans, baking stones or other things which cannot be thrown in the blessed box of cleanliness.
-
By hand,I hate it!!!!!!
-
By hand!
-
I used to clean them by hand. Still do when the load is light. I now use the dishwasher and you actually wait till you got it to capacity before you let it wash the dishes.
-
Alas, I do not HAVE a dishwasher. Yet. But, Hubby DID tell the guy in the pewter shop at Ren Faire that he was planning on buying me one ^_^ YAY!
-
Both, but usually by dishwasher. There are some things that can only be handwashed.
-

-
Totally dishwasher, unless I have to do otherwise!!!
-
I have a dishwasher but I never use it. I always do my dishes by hand.
-
Dishwasher, I like how it sanitizes the dishes and things.
-
dishwasher
-
I am cutting way back to save on the electric bill and I have been hand washing for about a year now.
-
Dishwasher these days. I think my nephew eats 8 or 9 times a day.
-
Hand wash yo...
-
I handwash before the dishwasher! LOL
-
Hand wash. A dishwasher could be as pointless as a microwave oven. It only takes a couple minutes longer to get the job done right.
-
Dishwasher..doing the dishes is the worst thing ever. :p
-
Oh God, what a pain in the *ss this is around my house! I'll use both, but I have to listen to my wife gripe about me washing things by hand when we have a dishwasher (I can wash MUCH faster than the dishwasher, and just be done with the whole job) OR I'll have to listen to my wife gripe about me rinsing the food off the dishes before I put them in the dishwasher (because that's stupid: that's what the dishwasher does). It's a case of damned if I do, damned if I don't. I usually ask her why she cares as long as I'm the one doing the dishes and not her. But, bless her, I married her. The things I do for love.
-
We choose to hand wash our dishes, even though we do have a dishwasher.
-
'Dish washer"
-
If I used more dishes, I would use the dishwasher. I hand wash now.
-
Definitely dishwasher..
-
They get cleaner in the dishwasher because the water is hotter than my hands can stand. If we have a full load (and we generally do since I love to cook) we use the dishwasher..however, I do wash large things as I go along. Occasionally if it is a very hot day and we didn't eat a big meal, I'll clear up the sink by hand..don't like dishes piled up for a couple of days either in the sink or the dishwasher! :)
-
Dishwasher as I save on water use.
-
I use a manual dishwasher. The problem with a manual is the dishes tend to pile up for a few days before it kicks into action.
-
Dishwasher saves time and effort. And keeps your hands soft :)
-
dishwasher
-
Hand wash :)
-
I like using the dishwasher.
-
I hand wash my dishes, the dishwasher is nice, when I am feeling lazy or tired.
-
it's not even a choice for me...why do the work by hand when the dishwasher is easier and cleans better, because it uses hotter water?
-
I would prefer to use the dishwasher but I am cutting back on the electric bill so I hand wash.
-
I'm too lazy to do the whole hand wash thing. I'd rather let the dishwasher do it for me. hehehehehe
-
Depends on how big the dish is and how crusty the food is that is stuck on it.
-
by hand
-
I hand wash most of the time. There are just the two of us, it takes forever to fill the dishwasher. It is just easier to wash them after dinner.
-
I have a dishwasher and usually put the dinner dishes in there but I wash the daily dishes as I use them.
-
..isnt that what teenagers are for ? ...:O)
-
Because there is no room for an automatic dishwasher in my trailer, I use a manual dishwasher. Because I live alone, that manual dishwasher often does not wash the dishes until the sink is full! It spends too much time here on AB!
-
BY HAND==DISHPAN HANDS
-
I wash by hand and I hate it. I have never owned a dishwasher.
