My wife got herself a mug for Christmas and asked if I liked it. I said, “as long as it’s dishwasher safe I love it.” Wife checks bottom: “Dammit it’s not.” Me: “Is it at least microwave safe?” Wife: “no…”
Good luck

Why does everyone like giant, awkwardly shaped, gawdy, hand was only in lukewarm water, non-microwave, non-dishwasher safe mugs that start peeling after 3 months? Is your talking pikachu mug with a speaker and light up tail really worth all that effort when it winds up in the back of the top shelf cupboard and you go back to white ceramic after 3 weeks? How many Looney Tunes mugs from Six Flags can one person reasonably store in their home before exceeding the legal limit for dissolved lead concentration?
Why would we invent a machine that cleans the dishes just to invent dishes that the machine cannot clean? What are we DOING with our LIVES??

The big dishwasher-unsafe novelty mugs are good for keeping on your desk to hold pens or mints or something.

The starbucks in my area used to sell the mugs that they also used in-store. They were gigantic (like 700ml?), completely white ceramic with a very subtle logo and only cost 10€ each. They’re also extremely fishwasher proof because they were made to be washed like a dozen times a day. After like 6 or 7 years of use (we got them pre-covid), they still look like new and I regret only buying 2 of them at the time.
ImageIronically, I haven’t actually ever bought a drink at starbucks. I only bought the mugs because I saw them while picking up a Too Good To Go order there one time

I’ve made that mistake a couple times. I’ve just washed the mug in the dishwasher until all the prints peeled off and it became a normal mug.

Idk why any mug can’t be made dishwasher safe at this point.

I have some hand made mugs and the bottom of them are raw(?) undglazed(?) which is pretty bad for them. I still do it, and so far they are still alive

Some of those with printing on them would fade pretty badly.

Sounds like my laundry gauntlet. “I don’t care what your tag says. You’re going in a hot wash with everything else or you’re going in the trash.”
mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 12 hours ago
why hot wash?
I wash everything cold, and generally all together
seathru@quokk.au 12 hours ago
I often work in hot, oily, dusty environments. So if I don’t wash in hot, the smell and stains aren’t coming out. And I can’t be arsed to separate it.

For clothes yes, dishes need hot to break down the oils and grease.
bampop@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
I used to do that but after a while the washing machine got a buildup of foul gunk that leaves little bits of crap stuck to everything you wash. Apparently an occasional hot wash is needed to keep the machine clean.

I've only had color bleed on its first wash, after that the tags are more like guidelines.

I hand wash it, which takes like 30 seconds. If I put it in the dish washer it takes up viable space and sits there for a few days.

Surely you can say this about practically everything you put in a dishwasher.
Dishwashers aren’t really meant to be quick. They’re meant to be efficient and set/forget.

When I see not dishwasher/microwave safe I assume it is because the plastic becomes harmful and fuck that noise

Generally speaking, we should not be eating hot food from plastic containers. I certainly don’t.
Ideally, we wouldn’t use plastic containers for food at all, but that ship sailed 60 years ago. Also, even if you are able to avoid buying food in plastic containers, the machines used to process the food, even just to transport fresh vegetables along a conveyor line, shed plastic from gears and bushings, etc. But, that’s micro plastic, not the chemicals that leech from the plastic much more readily when it’s heated.
Here’s a study about micro plastic in olive oil. TL;DR: there’s no difference in the amount of micro plastic in olive oil between oil sold in glass containers compared to oil sold in plastic containers.

Kitchen knifes are also infamously not dishwasher safe. Mine’s got wooden handles but they were slightly worn from not drying them immediately when handwashing. Ever since I got a dishwasher I chugged them in there and they have survived without any more damage.

Generally the reason not to put knives in the dishwasher is because the mild abrasives used in some detergents, and more importantly the agitation which bonks them around, can both dull the edge (and damage the coating on the racks that prevents your dishwasher from rusting, if you have one that isn’t full plastic).

My daily driver is a basic white, glazed mug I’ve had for nearly 30 years. I probably got it at Goodwill for 25 cents. It has no clever saying on it, because I’d get tired of that in a week.
(No, it’s not leeching lead into my coffee.)

TBF I scoffed at this for years. Then I put a collectible mug that wasn't made anymore in there and bye bye handle. Sadface. It's stupid that we can't make coffee mugs that can handle this. What is this, the 19th century?
