Not all pots are created equal

Since moving in with the boys, I have learned a few things, mostly surrounding the dishwasher.

I know all pots are not created equal but what I did not know is that not all pots can be washed via the dishwasher. I mean, there is a pots and pans setting, so I don't get it. But then again, the last set of pots and pans I owned was from college which were purchased at a garage sale and my dishwasher in Chicago was named Denise (she did a hell of a job, by the way). Nathan informed me that the cheaper pans are dishwasher friendly. These have circles on the bottom of them; therefore, Denise will only use pans with said circles when boiling water - that's all the cooking this girl can handle. I make mean spaghetti noddles.

Another fun fact about these fancy pots - they can not be friends with forks, knives, spoons or anything else made of metal. It scraps off the fancy protective stuff. Explains a lot now. I always wondered why mine looked like shit. I was not aware of this no metal rule.

I think these helpful tips and tricks will make me a better housewife, someday. Now that I know how to clean these pans, I only have to learn how to cook in them. Baby steps...baby steps.
