A dishwasher is a beloved appliance in many homes - it saves time, water, and energy. However, not everything is safe to put in there. It's important to determine which dishes and cookware are dishwasher safe and which aren't. Using the dishwasher incorrectly can result in damaged dishes and a shorter lifespan for your appliance (I have learnt it the hard way). In this blog post, we'll discuss 10 things you should never put in the dishwasher. 1. Cast Iron Cookware - Cast iron skillets and griddles are popular for their ability to distribute heat evenly.

Image
I can relate to your frustration when you see the symbol on your keyboard, but your computer just won't type the \ character, no matter what you do. I've been there too, and I know how exhaustive it can be to look for different solutions online. So to help make things easier for you, I have a possible solution that worked for me in the past. Try this: Hold down the Alt key on your keyboard. While still holding the Alt key, press 9 on the number pad on your keyboard. Then, while still holding the Alt key, press 2 on the number pad on your keyboard. This should type the \ character onto your document. Hopefully, this solution will work for you too. This is mainly for people that are using a keyboard on a PC.
