fat, sugar and starch One of the samples to be cleaned is a salad plate that has a small portion of a PBJ smeared around on it. Similar to what a small child might do with their sandwich

pigment stains The test calls for a strong brew of tea to be left in cups and some spilt on the saucer. We used coffee as there were no tea bags to be found in the lab that day.

large plate The large plate is divided into thirds. One third is a one minute egg (protein), Dinty Moore beef stew (protein, starch, and bulk) and spinach (bulk and fiber). A tablespoon of each is placed in each third and smeared around.

loaded Miele The soiled dishes are allowed to set for 24 hours and then loaded to manufacturers recommendations. Most of the cyles used are close to a normal heavy cycle.

Amy says Clean One student evaluates each item from all three machines. i.e. one student looks at all milk glasses and determines if they are clean or not.

clean silverware The silverware is inspected by the designated students. Notice the fryer from the Miele combi set collection. I love these. I have them in my house as well.

dissappointment The FP did not do so well. I do think that the machines is not performing to its normal level due to the excess grease. I have since ran it through a couple of heavy high temp cyles and it seems to be alright.

glasses glasses only pass if they are spotless which actually is almost impossible. These glases are not used for any other pupose so they do not have day to day marks on them.

spotless another inspector. Actually she is not doing the inspection correctly. The inspectors areonly supposed to hold the stemmed glassses by the stem so not to interfere with the results.

Thanks for Sharing Dishwasher Demos Hey Alex: Thanks for sharing those Miele demos. For the most part, at least I could still clue in on the happenings beyond the background music. Laundry Shark | ||

Thanks Alex, the model she is looking at is: SHU66CO2UC which doesn't come up on the Bosch web site. It's supposedly discontinued and that's why it's priced low. She's going to make the purchase today. Any interested parties in the LA area will have a KA Superba that I'm guessing is from the 70's up for grabs pretty soon. | ||
