You've put a lot of thought and research into this so I would go for it. You will feel so much better. I know I am guilty of overthinking and hesitating because of a bad review or two. The appliances had the features I wanted so I will just deal (and maybe rant and rave) if there are problems in the future. Or maybe get an extended warranty on the DW if that will make you more comfortable.

Sometimes, on the suggestions drop down it'll offer you a specific forum and you can choose "Cooking". Sometimes it doesn't. I've found that trying to add the name of the forum to the search terms doesn't help, and the results are mostly for very old threads. The most reliable, just like in GW days, is Google. You don't need to know the formulation (site:ths.gardenweb.com)--If you just type "gardenweb" Google will add the formulation for you. So open a new tab, go to Google, and put what you're searching for in the box, along with "gardenweb cooking" and the top answers will be recent threads in the cooking forum. Choose "see more results like this one" to see more threads that suit.

If youre on pc, there should a window to the left called " your topics" , click edit, and select(check mark), if there is such a thing of course. If youre on phone, there should be a similar menu. Just check, there isnt. Though, you seem to already be there(check the tags), so i dont really see why there is an issue>

Thanks!
