I like wood chopping boards and cast iron pans. Neither should be machine washed unless you like damaging them unnecessarily. As I am cleaning those by hand, adding a couple of plates isn’t really much extra effort.

I am European, and cast iron is not used much here (outside of dutch ovens obviously), and neither is carbon steel. I have one non-stick pan for omelettes and fish, a seldom used dutch oven for stews, and I can do everything else with straight stainless steel so it all goes in the wash (except the valve of my pressure cooker). Even my forged Wüsthof knife goes in. I like my wood chopping board, but rarely use it because of the hassle of cleaning it. Machine-washed plastic boards don’t stink, so that’s what I use most days.
