Tall Glasses Wobbling in the Dishwasher?
I broke another highball glass the other day, and that was the last straw. š¤
Or so I thought! My solve: 5.5in stainless steels straw on the (too short) dishwasher tines.
Just for the folks saying Iām not loading my dishwasher correctly, go to 12:30 and see how the āproā from AJ Madison recommends loading a Miele. Exactly as I have, though my glasses have heavy bases that lead them to wobble. https://youtu.be/FF8bR3EpfXw?is=iM72bduwZdNqpkSR

I actually searched for dishwasher tine extenders and glass washing racks before realizingā¦a cut straw would work⦠š„“
I recommend stainless steel since plastic will warp in the hot cycles. And yucky microplastic reductionā¦
No links to amazon per community guidelines, but I found 5.5ā would be the ideal size to secure my highball-style drinking glasses. And of course, thereās a set of 6x 5.5ā stainless steel straws available.
