I have seen my prized Kenmore plow through mac-n-cheese, marinara sauce and the grime left from using Corning Ware and VISIONS as broiler pans, but nothing makes a dishwasher roll into a fetal position in the corner while whimpering "No, no, I can't, I won't do it, you can't make me" like oatmeal.
If you leave a single oat in the pan or in a bowl, it will defy all efforts to go down the drain. It will either cling to the original vessel like a barnacle or, if it does dislodge, it will attach to a new host and stay there through the drying cycle, transforming from a healthy superfood particle into a fossilized booger from the nose of a long-extinct small mammal. As if to mock you, it seems to know which item you will put away last.
Oatmeal: Good for you. Terror for your dishwasher.
