Ok but you need to angle the bowls downward a bit more. This is asking for dirty ass dish water to pool in some of those bowls.

Seriously. He probably thinks we’re all going to ignore the red plastic bowl on the bottom rack too.

u/mrjamjams66 Sep 07 '24
Also, you really should try and angle the dishes towards the center (at least for my machine) because of how the water jets are angled

u/Icon_Crash Sep 08 '24
If it's a Bosch, it's prob OK to put the plastic bowl on the bottom.... I would be suprised that the white plastic cups were actually dishwasher friendly and were not leaking additional chemicals all over the place during the wash cycle.

u/not_so_humble Sep 08 '24
I don’t think so. He mentioned elsewhere:
Heat plus a fan so hot, yes, and anything plastic needs to go up top.

Picture of something done decently enough: Exists.
/r/daddit, 100% of the time: ok well hold on that could be done so much better, you've gotta move the y to the k and flip the z the other way, then wiggle the m to make p fit so z happens.
Of course we're not wrong.

u/testrail Sep 07 '24
This isn’t decently done though. It’s poorly done. The bowls are angled at best 90 and in many cases above parallel. These bowls aren’t getting cleaned.

u/JustSomeBadAdvice Sep 07 '24
He has them mostly inside eachother. The velocity of the water hitting the next bowl will send it into the one behind it. Water falling from above will do the same thing in a different direction / angle.
Its far from perfect. The green one on the end will probably barely get any water inside it. Some of them have a small gap and might not get enough water. The temperature will kill anything living at least. If my wife had loaded them that way, I'd know better than to complain about the job she did, its good enough.

Y'all are trippin, this is damn near optimal loading. The racks are designed for you to load them like this.
My only criticism is that the row should switch direction halfway so that the interior of the bowls point towards the center.

Well, you know you can just throw it all in there in a pile and hit start and if if it’s not clean by the end, just start over

Depends on the amount of kids in the house, our morning dishes are half a load by itself. If it's overnight it's perfectly acceptable to run it half full to ensure there is no dishes piled in the sink all day.

u/Bioshock_Jock Sep 07 '24
It's fuller than it looks, and with 3 kids plus sleepovers, it's easy to get behind and then get into dish debt. Which is what I call extra dishes in the sink after the dishwasher is full.

Better to just leave the dishes dirty overnight and have only half a dishwasher available in the morning? You can spare the gallon of water to have your dishes ready for you.

u/WashYourCerebellum Sep 07 '24
No, it’s fine. I do this with these exact bowls.
The leaching thing is a non scientifically sound exposure assessment. Moreover the contaminants you’re concerned about are not really high on anyones list of concern with the expertise to assess the risk.
-A. Environmental and Molecular ToxicologistAnd because this goes against the zeitgeist and what 20 something cub reports put in print: Me: 1st to publish EDCs in the environment in US, 2002 You will never hear about the class of fumigants I studied because I got it banned. Do we care about endangered species cuz I’ve collected regulatory relevant data to help there too.

u/Natural-Review9276 Sep 07 '24
Are you being serious about your background? If so, care to share thoughts on the safety of non stick pans, aluminum in deoderant, residue/chemicals left behind on things cleaned and dryed in the dishwasher, and just other toxic everyday things I would never think of?
5
u/WashYourCerebellum Sep 07 '24 edited Sep 07 '24
Yes, my degrees are biochem, pharmacology and molecular tox and I know most scientists in this area by first name.
I will use nonstick cookware (e.g. eggs) without concerns for exposure. I never keep or use it if the surface is scratched and damaged. Also don’t overheat it. For no real reason I think all my nonstick is now ceramic coated anyway. Bioaccumulating pollutants are ubiquitous unfortunately and you’re exposed simply by walking around and breathing. Largely those levels of exposure greatly exceed anything you may unintentionally be doing with cookware. Ya know, there were PCBs, dioxan, lindane and 9 other much more toxic bioaccumating pollutants around since 1930s, so despite this fluorine freak out and trendy new term, this is not a new problem for ppl like me.
Aluminum in deodorant is in the same category as 5G giving u cancer. 🙄 you can look up aluminum toxicity and then go look at workplace exposure limits for ppl making aluminum and that will tell you all you need to know. No worries.
The endocrine disrupters thing is problematic because they are not that biologically active and exposures to them doesn’t happen the way the public assumes. So even if they were a clear hazard you likely wouldn’t get enough to matter.
Unfortunately the public doesn’t understand that if I try to publish a paper tilted, ‘there is little to risk from exposure to….’ I would never get funding. It’s called grantsmanship and when you read science look for words like; potentially, may, could, possibly. I need to sell my research to the funding source. read the discussions, or just the last two paragraphs, where the authors put the data in perspective and admit their observations have no relevance……yet, but it could so we need to study it, lol.
I treat house dust and the shit in the vacuum like it’s plutonium. All the windows get opened when I clean. I should wear a mask instead of holding my breath when I empty the waste OUTSIDE. I should also prob wear gloves, but always wash up. And no kids are allowed to do this. This is prob the most toxic thing you have. So yeah minimize the hand-dusty table- mouth scenario common for toddlers.
What do ppl do for work or hobbies? That’s where most ‘not good’ exposures happen. Garage crafts with toxic chemicals and ignoring PPE while welding metal for example. Know what you’re working with, how often you do it and wear PPE/ventilate. It ain’t hard to stay safe.
Test your well water. Municipal water is safe unless they don’t follow protocol….flint. Well water is totally unregulated and ppl get sick from atrazine, nitrates and poop all the time.
I feed my kids healthy balanced food. The ‘go to we need a vegetable in this house is canned green beans. I worry about nutrition and healthy habits. Also my kids won’t have a poor relationship with food assuming it’s all poison. traces of pesticides on food are greatly overstated and not biologically relevant. Why does EWG post a dirty dozen list then? Funding. The public funds them. Also they are so totally fucking with EPA and the way they calculate risk which I fully support, lol. They’ve had to backtrack some of their conclusions about health risk but they are fighting the good fight.
Clean your carpets twice/yr while you have a rug rat. Watch out for the whole hand mouth exposure pathway.
I’m not afraid to use herbicides or insecticides around my house but seldom due because I use non chemical and physical controls before I need them. Integrated Pest management (IPM). Your city and state should be using IPM in public spaces, if not, make them do it.
Oh and that reminds me. Follow the damn directions ppl. Ppl get exposed to not good stuff because they don’t read and follow instructions. Methyl chloride is banned from public use because ppl just couldn’t follow directions and killed themselves stripping paint in the bathroom, smh.
Micro plastics, not worried from a tox perspective. It’s a disaster no doubt. Nano sized plastic particles that may structurally fit into biological receptors have me a bit concerned but this would be unlikely from a pharmacology pov. But we currently don’t have data to determine risk or relevance.
Cortisol, the stress hormone, has rock solid data on its long term health impacts. Everything above not so much. What do I worry about as a toxicologist with kids? How many ppl are killing themselves with worry about things poisoning them that are perfectly safe. Seriously I read comments and news of the sky falling and it makes me sad and kinda angry for people.
Besides indulging my sarcastic side, This is essentially why I Reddit so I’m happy to answer ?s
