Product review (5 stars): and so when we moved into a new house that had a relatively new dishwasher I was horrified to find my worst nightmares had come
I have a pet peeve. It is really at the top of my pet peeves list. It is people that put sharp knives upside down in dishwasher cutlery holders. If anyone comes to my house and puts their knife pointy side down into my dishwasher I have to resist the urge to take said knife and stab it in their direction.
I've heard them say "but I put them that way so people don't cut themselves when they reach in to the holder" but my response: "Hands will heal- my cutlery holder will not."
So you see, I'm finicky about my dishwasher, and so when we moved into a new house that had a relatively new dishwasher I was horrified to find my worst nightmares had come true: The holder was riddled with holes in the bottom of the basket. Every time I dropped a fork or spoon into the basket it would fall through the gaps and then I would have to go hunting for it in the bottom of the dishwasher- or worse- I'd have that terrible moment where the fork was half in the basket, and half poking down, blocking the drawer from moving, and bit allowing me to retrieve it.
I had un-christian thoughts towards the previous home-owners for a month before I checked to see if Amazon had a replacement basket. When it was only $17 I was over the moon. Literally skipping through my days, knowing that the torment would soon be over and my new basket would arrive in 2 short days.
It has been so wonderful. I can't even describe the joy of casually dropping silverware into the basket without a thought of which compartment has the dreaded holes. This basket saved my sanity. It is exactly the same as the one we had before- but without the holes. Perfection in a basket.
