For the past 26 years we have lived in a house with a dish washer. Our family was not big enough that we could fill it up with dishes from one meal. If the dishes did not get rinsed off to an almost clean state, the crud would dry up before the washer was full and the washer would not get them "clean". Then you would have to clean them again. The situation I have posed to my wife, and one that I practice: Add a little dish soap to the initial rinse and put them in the drying rack. In an hour they will be dry and you/I can put them in the cabinet. Less water overall used, less electricity used, less time spent in the process. What do the folk out there say?

I agree with OP. It takes all of 5-10 minutes to hand wash and dry. I can tell you how many time I reach for a plate or glass in cabinet and there's none. Only to find out, the ones in washer aren't clean. No I have to hand wash and dry to use.

Even when I cook, the majority of the dishes I just wash by hand. I can finish cooking dinner and maybe only have one dirty piece of cookware. Wife will cook the same meal and have two dirty pans, a dirty pot, and other misc. stuff that is in the sink. Noticed I said in the sink because even if the dishwasher is empty, she will put them in the sink.
When I load the dish washer, I put the smaller stuff in there as well as the silverware. Big items I hand wash and put away. Our pots and pans have to be hand washed, so they never go in the dishwasher.
Also, it doesn't matter if I have 10 dishes or 30 in the dish washer I turn it on as I go to bed that way they are good in the morning. Wife will leave them in there for a week before running it. She is also notorious for leaving her food on the plate and putting it in the sink. We have a trash can and a garbage disposal for a reason. Clean your plates off. Heck, our faucet is that fancy one that has the flat jet spray mode and makes it SUPER easy to blast your dishes clean.
Can you tell this is one of my pet peeves around the house? As I kid I never understood why my dad would get so bent out of shape about it. I get it now Dad.... I get it.

Ours gets used at least once a day. It's a newer model and we have found no need to do the prewash before the wash. Dishes come out clean.
House I grew up in did not have one. Have not used one since. p.i.a. but it broke and not getting fixed.. lol
lololololololmy wife does the dishes. It gives a whole new meaning to "putting a load in the dishwasher"
"Why do we have dishwashers?" Because someone has to make our Sandwiches, and do the Laundry.
My dishwashers moved out years ago. Now my dishpan hands are tired. About to remodel and buy a unit.
My dishwasher better hurry home from work and do my laundry.....cuz she gotta mow the yard before the skeeters get bad.
Ours quit 10 years ago. The kids had moved out. We just finished a remodel on our house, put a new one in. We used it once. Still washing by hand, its just the two of us. Old habits are hard to break
We have a nearly new one. Gets used on holidays or when the Filipino has her 15 lady posse over for lunch. (That is a complete novel on its own)
We found that after the kids left home that pare plates and bowls were the ticket.
You can buy 500 plates for half the price of a jumbo box of those little dishwasher soat thingies.
But you need a tight lid on the trash can to keep the ***** out.

Heck I live alone and use mine everyday. Empty it when the coffee is brewing in the morning. I work from home so I steadily put things in it all day. Throw the soap in it and turn it on as I'm heading to bed whether it's smack full or not.
Same here, wash by hand, and then place in dish washer.
this been going on for 40 years. I dont even know how the dish washer works!

I usually wash my dishes well enough that I could put them back in the cabinet. The dishwasher just doesn't get things clean. We have run it every day or two since we brought our little one home. It's hard to get that formula stank out by hand.
We use dishes daily. Same with clothes and phones.
I have no plans on going back to scrub boards and rotary dial phones either.

Funny, I had a dream a few days ago. I was making a call on a rotary dial phone and kept messing up dialing a wrong number, man! I was ****** in my dream.
I just wished they'd invent one that didn't require lining everything up like a platoon of marines in order to get clean (or my wife was a little less OCD)
