Favorite Summer drinking glasses?
Comments (20)Natal, I love that picture! I remember those cups. I am a diehard Tervis Tumbler user. I save them when they get broken or worn out and mail them back to Tervis. They send you shiny new replacements! I figured out that I'll never have to buy another set! I know they're expensive but when you take into account that you get them replaced so easily, it's a bargain! Bealls is the best place I've found to buy them....See Morewhere to put DAILY drinking/drunk used glasses?
Comments (29)Phoenix is really dry and dehydration is an actual health risk so we drink a ton of water all day long and we just have glasses everywhere :) I gather them all up and stick them in the DW constantly. When my DH was growing up each family member had a color (for all things) and they had large plastic water glasses in those colors on the counter so they could keep track. I like drinking out of glass so that doesn't work for us. I use lidded straw cups with my kid and he gets regular cups at meal-time. TMI: DH and I don't worry about sharing glasses. We share way too many cooties as it is to worry about drinking glasses. I know, we are gross :) I see lot's of cute pins on Pinterest that involve using chalkboard paint on glass, that would be a cute way to label/differentiate glass glasses... No need to drink Gatorade all day long, it's full of sugar. You do not need to replenish electrolytes unless you are an athlete or working for hours in the hot sun or are at risk for dehydration due to illness (like kids needing pedialyte) I have spent my lifetime in dry 115+ degree summers in addition to working out for up to 2 hours at a time and I have never needed electrolytes to hydrate. That is really just marketing hype. Now, healthy people should not be avoiding salt either, but that is a whole different subject :) Here is a link that might be useful: chalkboard paint glasses...See MoreWhat kind of 'everyday' drinking glasses do you use?
Comments (36)You know, I have to honest here and say I am very wary of reusing plastic glasses and plates. They scratch more easily than glass and ceramic, and are probably more prone to harboring bacteria. I don't use plastic cutting boards either for the same reason. I found this article from Ohio State regarding an experiment they did on dishwashing - "Dishes are not created equally -- compared to ceramic plates, steel knives, spoons, forks and plastic trays are prime growing spots for bacteria." http://researchnews.osu.edu/archive/dishwash.htm Just saying....See MoreWant to buy a dishwasher for just washing wine glasses - any advise?
Comments (32)@Ron Natalie: "Rightfully so. Kitchenaid only sold the rebranded FP drawers which were maintenance nightmares (in addition to the fact that despite the neato factor, are a pain in the butt even when they work)." That is not correct. The first generation KA drawer units introduced circa 2004, KUDD01 models, were rebadged F&P. Second generation KA units, KUDD03 models (there was no KUDD02) were not sourced from F&P. They were a completely different design Whirlpool got with the purchase of Maytag in 2006. F&P did not produce them. Fulgor was involved in the manufacture if I recall correctly. KUDD01 service manual is document KAD-9 "Drawer Dishwasher" in Whirlpool's tech library. KUDD03 service manual is document KAD-10 "2008 Drawer Dishwasher." Try searching for those documents, and also search for parts diagrams, to see the differences in the design vs. F&P. It doesn't use the SmartDrive motor, has separate electric circulate and drain pumps. Has a turbidity sensor for a soil-sensing function (F&P does not). Has a whirly-gig manifold mounted on the back of the tub that sprays forward over the dishware, fed by a hose routed on the exterior from the circulation pump. A formed heating element similar to a frontload washer vs. F&P's flat/disc ceramic element. Among other differences This other design was also sold under the Kenmore Elite brand (both single- and double-drawer models), check parts diagrams for models 465.13333, 465.13339, 465.13342, 465.13343, 465.13349, 465.13322, 465.13323, 465.13329. 465 is Sears manufacture code for Maytag/Jenn Air sourcing...See More
