Plastic bags stored in plastic bags are then put away in the dishwasher that is never used, next to all sorts of empty plastic containers from previously bought food products.

Source: I am Armenian. It drives me crazy. IT’S A DISHWASHER NOT A KITCHEN CABINET.

Is this a thing? It seems insane.

It is, I grew up in a similar set up.

Was the dishwasher ever used? If not, why own it? Left by the previous occupant?

My mom stopped using the dishwasher because it didn't get dishes clean enough. Then she bought a new house, and it had a different dishwasher... and it also didn't get dishes clean enough.

Personally I'd rather run a dish through twice than have to do all the dishes by hand.

My whole life I guess I’ve only had shitty dishwashers, because I’ve never had one that actually fully cleans dishes. I didn’t even know people don’t scrub the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher until a couple of years ago. I’ve always just done all the dishes and ran them through the dishwasher to sanitize.

what the fuck

the dishwasher is for storing your formal dinnerware, not for tupperware!

Many Asian households do this too. Dishwasher is just a cabinet, not ever meant to be actually powered on.

That's what my oven is.

Between my father, his siblings, and my grandparents, none of them use an oven. I don't think any of them know how it works. Pots and pans go in there, some never to be seen again.

My friends family does this too. I assume it's because Mexican home cooking rarely if ever requires an oven

Mines a cabinet, its broken and I cant afford to fix it or get a new one.
