The New York Times - The best dishwasher detergent

Our top three picks for dishwasher detergent, next to stacks of white bowls, mugs, bowls and plates.

A great dishwasher detergent can punch up the cleaning power of even the most mediocre dishwasher, pulverizing peanut butter, eliminating eggs, and tackling tomato sauce. (Yes, we did smear dishes with all of those things for our dishwashing testing.)

Of the 24 detergents we tested, a clear winner materialized; it left nearly every soiled dish sparkling, neutralized nasty odors, and did it all without dyes and chlorine bleach.

‘The Bear’ is back. Here’s every Wirecutter pick we’ve spotted in Carmy’s kitchen

The Bear, which returns tonight on Hulu with a second season, has been widely praised for its all-too-real depiction of restaurant life. Thanks to the advice of chefs on set, the series gets even the smallest details of professional kitchens right. While we don’t formally recommend hydrating from plastic quart containers, we stand behind plenty of other tools that professional chefs, Carmy included, use.

Here’s every Wirecutter pick we could identify in Carmy’s kitchen—including the KitchenAid stand mixer of his dreams—and why you might want them in yours, too.
