It might also have to do with the fact that a window is more expensive, but required for ovens and microwaves as food night burn otherwise, but usually there's no issue running a dishwasher longer than exactly required
It’s definitely not required for ovens. You can just open the oven. Source: previous oven (1950s vintage) didn’t have one.
Pretty useful though, and pretty important on microwaves too since you can’t safely open the oven while it’s running.
You can open it but you every time you do, you lose heat, which has to be compensated for by the oven. A window makes the process much easier. There wouldn't really be measurable gains for a dishwasher
That person has never cooked a souffle.
How's it not safe to open the oven while running? Just don't touch anything without mitts and keep your face back.
They meant the microwave
Yes. Microwave is short for “microwave oven”. I thought it was clear from context but I guess not.
