Dishwasher Safe Cookware

What are you looking for in the cookware that you purchase? Do you want something that will not damage your ceramic stovetop? Are you trying to find cookware that has a safe nonstick surface? Do you want to be absolutely certain that the cookware that you have is easy to clean?

Swiss Diamond Cookware can provide you with all of the benefits that you are looking for. Whether your stove has electric burners, gas burners or a ceramic stovetop, Swiss Diamond Cookware can be used. The diamond coating of Swiss Diamond Cookware is a safe nonstick product.

In addition, you can be sure that Swiss Diamond Cookware is easy to clean. Not only will food not stick to the surface, but neither will herbs or marinades. When you purchase Swiss Diamond Cookware, you can simply clean it with the wipe of a rag or, for even more convenience; you can feel confident that you have dishwasher safe cookware.

Why is this important?

The primary reason why this is important is simple: not all nonstick cookware is dishwasher safe cookware. Some brands offer dishwasher safe cookware in only some of their product line - this can cause confusion, or worse, ruined pots and pans.

With Swiss Diamond Cookware, you can be sure that the pots and pans that you purchase will last - each frying pan, casserole pan, roaster pan, sauce pan, saut? pan, stew put and stock pot is dishwasher safe.

However, Swiss Diamond Cookware promises to be more than just dishwasher safe cookware. In addition, you can be sure that you are getting a product that has been designed to last as each piece comes with a lifetime warranty.

You can trust the non-stick, diamond coated surface of the Swiss Diamond Cookware to last, even if you use metal utensils while cooking - the coating is reinforced with diamond crystals. This creates a surface that will not peel or chip, a surface that is indestructible.

More than being strong and durable, the diamond coated surface of the Swiss Diamond Cookware heats evenly so that you will not need to worry about hot spots in which your food is more likely to burn. Because the diamond coating heats evenly, though with the nonstick surface you will not have to use oils or butter, you will not have to worry that your Swiss Diamond Cookware will burn oils or foods.

Another reason for this is that, in addition to being dishwasher safe cookware, Swiss Diamond Cookware is also safe for use in the oven. Rather than needing to leave a pan on the burner to keep it warm, simply place it in your oven.

It is difficult to find cookware that is more versatile than Swiss Diamond Cookware. Cook without fats or oils. Use whichever utensil you grab without having to worry that you might damage the surface of your pot or pan. Be sure that your cookware will heat evenly and, as a result, cook food consistently without a risk of burning. Keep your meal warm in the oven until everything else is ready.

And, when you are done, wipe your Swiss Diamond Cookware clean, or place it in the dishwasher as every piece is dishwasher safe cookware.

From start to finish, Swiss Diamond Cookware makes easy work of preparing a meal.

Who Invented The Dish Washer

Well to answer that question, one must ask another question, i.e who best understands a woman?s problems. It can only be a woman. The woman who was the inventor of dishwasher happened to be a socialite, constantly beleaguered by problems of chipped china at the hands of careless servants.

Invented in 1886 by Josephine Cochrane, the commercial production of the dishwasher was started after 1893. The invention of the dishwasher is the culmination of efforts to eliminate human error in the carrying out of mundane tasks like dish washing, which although monotonous requires alertness and careful and delicate handling. And of course, inventing the dishwasher makes practical sense, allowing dishes to be washed together in one go and with minimal water, with water consumption alone estimated to be half of what would be required when washing them by hand. Dish washers also provide convenient storage of the dirty or used dishes, until it is ready to be washed.

Modern dishwashers also have ?rinse and hold? cycles, that runs a summary wash/ rinse of the dishes to eliminate excessive food particles, and storing them until such time that the machine is fully loaded to clean in one go. Dishwashers also facilitate a more hygienic cleaning with near boiling water, while also drying the dishes with hot air, a technique that not only saves on the time normally required when individually drying dishes one by one. The dishwasher is a woman?s answer to the challenge thrown to her in juggling with separate roles as a housewife, mother, career woman, entertainer, socialite and what not.

Dishwasher Detergent Cup – A Sticky Situation

Detergent tends to build up over time and you may find that one day the detergent cup won't open. The detergent acts like glue, sealing the cup. Your dishwasher's detergent cup is located on the panel, inside your dishwasher's door. Grab your sponge and a bucket of warm water and clean the detergent cup inside and out. If this doesn't fix your problem, read on.

Let's understand how detergent cups work. The detergent is placed in the cup and the spring-loaded door is snapped shut. This keeps the detergent dry until later in the cycle. As the cycle progresses, a component will trigger the spring, allowing the door to open and the detergent to be released.

Not all dishwashers use the same components to open the detergent cup. Depending on your dishwasher the components in this process may include:

  • Timer and bi-metal switch
  • Timer and wax motor
  • Timer
The timer is responsible for the length of time your dishwasher runs each cycle. The timer sends an electrical current to each cycle component at a specific time and for a determined length of time. When the timer indicates it's ready for the detergent cup to open, it will send a current to a bi-metal switch or a wax motor. If your dishwasher doesn't have one of these components, the timer will activate the release of the door.

 

A bi-metal switch is an electrical component located behind the dishwasher detergent cup. This switch consists of two types of flexible metals bonded together to form one strip. An electrical current is sent to the bi-metal switch, heating the strip. Since the metals expand at different rates, the strip will bend. This action will open the detergent-cup door. A defective bi-metal switch won't expand enough to signal the release of the door and the switch will have to be replaced.

Many dishwasher manufacturers have replaced the bi-metal switch with a wax motor. There's actually wax inside this small motor. The timer sends a current and the wax inside heats up. As the wax heats up it expands and pushes on a piston. The pressure from the piston releases the spring and opens the detergent-cup door. If there's anything wrong with the wax motor, you may have problems with your dishwasher releasing the detergent.

If your dishwasher doesn't have a bi-metal switch or a wax motor, the timer also serves as an actuator. The timer activates a lever to release the door. If the lever is broken or damaged in some way, it's probably the culprit.

Test your bi-metal switch or wax motor if you have one. If you don't have one of these components or they aren't the source of the problem, test your timer. You may need to replace it.

Take care of your dishwasher and it will take care of you.
