Trivia: Which everyday kitchen appliance debuted at the 1893 fair in Chicago?
Dishwasher
Toaster
Microwave
Convection oven
The correct answer is Dishwasher
So why is this answer correct? : In 1886, inventor Josephine Cochran received a patent for a dishwasher that she created in a shed behind her house. It was the first dishwasher to use water pressure to clean dishes instead of manual scrubbing. Initially, her ingenious machine was only sold to hotels and large restaurants. It wasn’t until the 1950s that Cochran’s design became popular in homes.
