Thanks Odette, I'd heard that about the 48 hours after the LAST lot, but I wasn't sure if it was true. Good to have it confirmed. I'm a dental nurse, in other words an infection control freak, so I'm pretty good with all the handwashing etc Hadn't been doing the cutlery though, didn't think of that!!!! Doesn't a dishwasher get hot enough????

Thanks for all the info, you sound like a gastro guru
