When I replaced my old dishwasher I specifically looked for the
silverware in the door, I love that. I'm not knocking your new
machine, Julie, I'm happy you like it. Just that my experience with
dishwashers is that silverware thing in the middle takes up too much
space. I can fit all the silverware I want in my door model, and the
larger stuff (much larger, like mixing spoons, ladles) fit on this little
fold down shelf over the cups.

Otherwise, I have been known to lie the large things across the
top of the cups/glasses ... if you place them across among those
items, they do not fall through. You just have to take a little
care how you arrange them.

I love the "new" tall tub designs, you can fit so much more
than previous machines. I don't bother adjusting the upper
rack, it's deep enough to hold whatever I want and I'm not
inclined to put much large stuff up there.

<Nod> That's what I do with most of the larger serving items and mixing
spoons. Even though they do fit into the upright flatware holder, they
don't wash very well there. So I lay them down in the top rack, and to
keep them from being knocked down I position cups or bowls on top of
their handles.

When it's time to replace my dishwasher, I want one of the tall tubs.
Until then, the machine I have does fine.

It's a basket that easily lifts out ... as a matter of fact there is a
place on the bottom rack where I could also put it. That
place is where I put glass baking dishes, though.

That's what I assumed from your description.
