Load 1: Wash saucepans and roasting tins first
“Saucepans, roasting tins, and cooking utensils should be loaded into the dishwasher on a hot programme. Breakfast dishes and chopping boards can likely fit in too, and cookware should be placed around the sides and back of the lower rack, at an angle that will allow the water and detergent to flow freely,” says Sue.
Load 2: Tableware
“Use the top rack for glasses, cups, gravy jugs, small bowls, and serving spoons, arrange plates and bowls on the bottom rack – making sure you leave enough gaps between them,” advises Sue. “If crockery is arranged too closely, this will restrict water flow and risk the clean result. Finally, place your large serving bowls and platters along the sides and back of the lower rack and tilt them towards the centre of the dishwasher.”
