Q: QuestionHow many silverware baskets? One or two?

Asked 2 years ago by Lysander.

• A:Answer Only 1 small one and the 3rd rack. I saved my bigger silverware rack from my old dishwasher to use instead. We have a big family, so there was not enough space in the one small one. I wasn’t really impressed with how clean the 3rd rack gets. It does okay for lightly soiled items, but not silverware.
