How good is a dish washer for an Indian Kitchen?

Answer 1

Sanitation of cooking equipment is needed no matter what type of food you cook.

The kitchen aide is an excellent brand. Get the extra quiet.
Pay more get more and get more longevity.

Answer 2

Indian kitchen as in located in India? If so
1) Is the kitchen wired and plumbed to accept a dishwasher connection?

2) Are spare parts and skilled service easy to obtain in the area?

3) Are the correct dishwashing detergents easily available in the area?

Obviously the answers will different if you are in a big city or in a more remote area.

On the other hand, if you mean the kitchen of Indians in the USA (for example), I would unhesitatingly say YES (especially if you will otherwise be doing the dishes by hand).

I think it is a misconception that all Indian food is greasy (or more greasy than say, American food - barbecue anyone?). That being said, no matter how heavy-duty a dishwasher you buy, scrape plates well, and check and clean your filter often. Poor filter maintenance is often a reason that dishwashers fail.

However, one poster mentioned spices in Indian food - this is quite true. Depending on the material of the container, even tomatoes can stain, far less turmeric!

Plastics and ceramics are most prone to this kind of discolouration, and like all stains, they could become permanent with the heat of the drying cycle if they are not fully removed.

Answer 3

Our Indian neighbor just blew up her 3rd dishwasher. Indian food, as we know, is greasy and consists of ingredients that can leave permanent stains such as food colors or spices. Instead, try soaking your greasy plates in hot water and some detergent, scrub off after few minutes and wash.
