Now, I'm a person who puts almost all my pots and pans, dishes(to
include best china) and such in the dishwasher. We rarely use the heated
dry cycle.
But the few things I *won't* put in are my good knives and my crystal.
I've even been known to put my good silver in there.
I'm like you-I enjoy washings, admiring, drying, and admiring yet again
my crystal and silver as I care for it. I enjoy polishing my silver. I
find it a calm, mindless task that makes me feel pleased with life in
general.


Isn't that what the butler is for? ;-)
