For decades past it has always been the practice to load cutlery in dishwasher baskets ‘handle side down’.Thereby allowing the eating surfaces greater cleaning from the watery deluge and greater seperation preventing the likes spoons from sticking together. 😉
Nowadays it appears this age old practice contradicts ‘elf ‘n safety guidelines by making a domestic chore into a full blow crisis of unimaginable proportions. The dangers of the young cutting themselfs on pointy knife blades or worst still impaling themselves should they accidentally trip and fall onto the loaded cutlery basket full of Kitchen Devils?
Manufacturers are hastily re-writing their user instruction booklets to ensue they conform and don’t expose themselves to compensation lawyers, the judiciary and worse still the EC directives 😯
It’s handles up now guys…..don’t fall foul of the law now will you?
Re: Handles up or down?
And now the knives will cut through the bottom of the cutlery baskets & forks will go through & stop bottom spray arm from turning.
Another good revenue spinner thank you very much 😆
Re: Handles up or down?
There was an instance a few years ago of a young lad actually fallling onto an upturned knife in a dishwasher basket, fatally wounding himself. 😥

Re: Handles up or down?
What is the point of washing the cutlery & then holding the blade of the knives etc to take them out???
Them as wot needs more water for sticky spoons etc would be best served with paper plates and a waste disposal unit………….oh yeah they thought it WAS a waste disposal unit !!!! and they are probably putting the paper plates in the dishwasher as we speak :rolls:
