Yikes. I would never eat there again!

Logically, the heat used for drying should kill any germs. But why risk it.

I rinse mine in the toilet bowl when it has bleach based toilet cleaner in it. That alone keeps them pretty clean.

    And there's the full-circle joke. Bravo. 👌

    Be the change you want to see in the world! We're at the beginning of greatness here, the tip of a drill that will pierce the fediverse, carving out a meme that future generations will never see the bottom of!

    Ah, the ol' Lemmy Dish-aroo!

    It wouldn't be the heat used for drying, it would be the heat used for washing. Assuming that you have a dishwasher with a sanitize cycle/option always use it. they are required to reach a minimum temperature of 150f. typical range in actual products is 165ºF to 180ºF (74ºC to 82ºC)

    I still wouldn't trust that to be all that great. Sanitize isn't a very controlled term (sterilize is). If you look up autoclaves, which are essentially steam baths to kill bacteria, they only get 90% of microbial life after more than an hour, and their temperatures are much higher than any dishwasher will reach.
