Sometimes a bit more or less depending on what I'm cooking and how many prep items I need. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-of-dishes-can-your-sink-and-dishwasher-hold#post-1898750 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 07:41:48 +0000 Mae 1898750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>depends on what we're eating. we grill out a lot so our whole dinner can consist of 3 plates. Obviously if I'm cooking I use a lot more dishes. I'd say 1-3 days. Usually we run out of room on the top rack first because we go through a lot of bowls and mugs and glasses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-of-dishes-can-your-sink-and-dishwasher-hold#post-1898740 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 07:35:25 +0000 Boogs 1898740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The sink can probably hold dishes for more than one day if we don't have a ton of mess from cooking, but dishes are done by the end of every day so I wouldn't know for sure. The dishwasher can hold maybe 3 days worth of dishes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-of-dishes-can-your-sink-and-dishwasher-hold#post-1898736 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 07:32:37 +0000 Bubbles 1898736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, we can't even get through a whole day - I wash up after breakfast and again after lunch, and then run the dishwasher after dinner. It is a pretty small dishwasher! I have a bit of a thing about the dishes though - my whole house can be covered in mess, but I cannot go to bed with dishes in the sink! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-of-dishes-can-your-sink-and-dishwasher-hold#post-1898732 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 07:30:57 +0000 tororojo 1898732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually 3-4 days between running the dishwasher. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-of-dishes-can-your-sink-and-dishwasher-hold#post-1898717 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 07:19:09 +0000 looch 1898717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>2 days of three meals a day, and my husband's 600 water glasses and coffee cups.</p> <p>I handwash most pots and pans. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-of-dishes-can-your-sink-and-dishwasher-hold#post-1898703 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 07:04:40 +0000 Adira 1898703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours generally holds about 5-6 days worth of dishes! But we also hand wash all of Xander's dishes and most of our pots and pans, so it only has to hold plates, cups, bowls, etc. and there's only two of us making dishes and only in the evenings for the most part, so it doesn't fill up too quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-of-dishes-can-your-sink-and-dishwasher-hold#post-1898702 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 07:03:12 +0000 Cole 1898702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Obviously it depends on how complicated our meals are those days but assuming basic breakfasts and eating some leftovers we can push it to 3 days. If for some reason we do there are typically a few hand wash items in there but everything can be handled in one dishwasher load and one drying rack. </p> <p>If I do an elaborate dinner and bake cookies though forget it, we will fill the dishwasher with just those dishes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-days-of-dishes-can-your-sink-and-dishwasher-hold#post-1898695 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 06:59:01 +0000 mrbee 1898695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our last apartment had a pretty large dishwasher and sink, so we could go up to 2 days without doing the dishes - even with two kids and eating at home for all three meals! </p> <p>Our current apartment has a tiny dishwasher and sink (they're actually stacked on top of each other, but I've never seen before), and we can barely go 1/2 of a day without doing them. It has a big impact on quality of life, since it feels like we're doing dishes all day and night.</p> <p>How many days of dishes can your sink and dishwasher hold? </p>
