    Yes, I highly recommend the Bosch 300. So quiet, world difference from the dishwasher my dad had 25 years ago haha I can barely hear the thing standing next to it.
    Not meaning to tangent but my goodness the wait on appliances right now. These are made in Germany and I had to wait, I can't imagine how long the Chinese made stuff is taking.

    I was actually surprised with my Costco order. Appliances went from manufacturer to Seattle Port to Anchorage Port within 10 days. Have home delivery this weekend. Hoping everything goes smoothly and nothing is damaged. :fingerscrossed:

    We checked a bunch of places for the Bosch and were told the wait was anywhere from 4-6 months. Then we checked Home Depot and they had something like 50 of the 300 series sitting in a warehouse. We originally were going to get an 800 but couldn't/didn't want to wait months, so 300 it was.

    Cast iron is worth the minor inconvenience of scrubbing under hot water.

    I just use cheap salt. Never hardly ever get my iron pans wet.

    Cast iron Chainmail scrubber FTW.

    we have 1 -15” cast iron pan that gets used 1-2 times a year. We always start from scratch and end up scrubbing it out with the chainmail scrubber before starting the cooking process all over again from seasoning the pan with fresh thick cut bacon.

    I am not doing a kitchen remodel right now but storing away ideas for when it happens because I’m not in love with the layout of my kitchen, and the dishwasher always gets in my way!

    I will say, the single large sink is nice- no pot too big, even the turkey fryer pot.

    I have used salt before, and it does work well.

    Hey @OZ-T , do you have a floor plan you can post for this house? So far it looks outstanding and I'd love a look at the layout.

    For you guys using 2P-10. Does the aerosol activator leave any visible residue on stain grade wood?

    Chainmail scrubber arrived yesterday: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08LKCVBCM?ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details

    Should have bought this LONG ago. Works great on stainless as well. Dried on bread dough in stainless bowls, other deposits, just gone, no chemicals and frankly light scrub compared to various pad type scrubbers.

    Just double checked and of course the model I have doesn't have the compatible base. Thank you for the heads up though.

    What's the best way to remove linoleum glue? Finding the screws is easy enough but digging them out is another story. Whole thing is getting cut out so I'm not worried about damaging it.
