The 8-quart pressure cooker/stockpot goes in the bottom rack, right? |

 Au contraire, mon frère! Facing the prospect of having to wash the 8-quart pressure cooker bottom (in which I cooked a package of whole-wheat penne), I thought "What the heck?" and pulled out the upper rack on the ol' Kenmore model 1389 (same racks as several Whirlpool and a few KitchenAid models). Darned if it didn't say "Bring it, dude!" and swallowed up the colander as well. In the bottom rack: the crock-pot crock that held the ragu made from San Marzano plum tomatoes, the plates from lunch and dinner, lids, bowls, a utensil caddy and the silverware basket. Over a year later, the dishwasher still finds ways to surprise me. The instructions say that the silverware basket goes to the right of the bottom rack but putting it in the rear when you can allows you to use the entire tapered front of the rack.

Joe, I've faced similar dilemmas with mine. Fortunately my utensil basket splits into 3 sections and I use it accordingly. Personally, I would have put the two large vessels you put in the top rack in the bottom rack. Put all the plates and lids in the top rack and the utensil basket along the side of the outer row either far left or far right. Arrange glasses and bowls in top rack as they would fit. With marathon cooking on Sunday afternoons, I've been faced with 3 stock pots (or more) as well as collandar(s) and all sorts of mixing bowls and other sauce pans. Both racks are stuffed to the gills.

Seeing pots on the top rack seems to me like it is violating one of the cardinal rules of the universe or something.. At least, in my eyes! :) | ||
