Gansky-- we had a roto-rack LK in the '70s. It was noisy, but I loved that spinning top rack. No rust on yours, either! Ours rusted away. I replaced it with a KitchenAid like the one shown in GadgetGary's post above. We also had a set of those colorful tumblers with the white rims. That's a very colorful (and sensibly full) load of dishes. Thanks for the pics, guys! |

That's a beauty Greg! Love that shade of blue, and those pushbuttons. Very severe and mod. I miss my old KA dishwasher with the "daily mode" and "party mode" (or something like that) |

I have been snatching up Corning Centura stuff for a long time, I must have service for 80 (it's a sickness) in white and the blue cornflower pattern... Bob, the Boonton came from a sale - and there's more of it in the GE Mobile Maid! That is a platter, most of it is pretty nice but it has been loved so isn't "mint" anymore. I love the colors though! |

We have the same Gold-leaf dishes LOL These dishes came from my parent's house. I took them when the house was sold. In the past few years, I have added many pieces to the set by finding them at Tag Sales and have recently found more pieces at my local Salvation Army store. Those dishes are my 'daily driver' and I really love them since they bring back so many childhood memories. The dish pattern is called 'Serenade' and is made by Sheffield. I have included a picture of a very unusual piece to the set. And also a link to replacements....a company where you can find matching pieces to numerous sets of dishes.

Those tumblers were in the same boxes as the Boontonware. I thought they were fun but they need a trip through the scrubbing needle spray of the Maytag Jetclean dishwasher before they can be used again. And as you can see by the un-appetizing pictures in the beginning, there is no pre-rinsing needed - a red velvet cake and a couple of meals in the Maytag all came out sparkling! |

I submit my BobLoad® in the next two photos for approval by The Great Man. (I know my Maytag won't be vintage for another 19-1/2 years, but I didn't want to start another thread, LOL!) This is the aftermath of making a batch of pesto, a batch of blueberry jam and two casseroles. Naturally, there will be a second load, but it won't be as full. |

And even though it's nearly 2:15 a.m., I'm still up listening to Mott The Hoople, doing laundry and taking pictures! BOY HOWDY am I going to be dragging at work tomorrow. Today. Anyway, here are the spotlessly clean, unretouched casseroles! (The 'spots' you see on the colored Pyrex dish are actually imperfections/abrasions on the outside of the dish. They were there when I bought the dish at a yard sale.) Again, no complaints about the mighty Maytag! And now, it's time to switch to T.Rex and go fold some laundry... |

In my big-load Maytag pics, the paddle in the lower rack near the edge of the cut-out for the phallic Tower of Power, the whisk is under one of the bowls. Centura - good lawd, I keep buying it too. I have so many extra pieces that are scratched and/or marked that I've found in sets or parts of sets, I send leftovers home with family and friends and tell them to throw away the dishes! I counted the good dinner plates - White Coupe and Blue Cornflower - the other day and could serve 83, I should really stop now. |

I just noticed I have the same set of plates as in the picture directly above---the ones with a brown stripe around the rim. I threw out the dinner plates, but I kept the salad plates and saucers, which I use as spoon rests/utensils rests during food prep. I think you can see the plates I'm referencing in the photos of my BobLoad® further up in this thread. It's a small world!

Prerinsing is for the boids. I didn't prerinse the KA bowl with stuckon oatmeal cookie dough and it came out spotless. The paddle was pre-licked by me (can't let that good cookie dough go to waste. |
