    People don’t know how to use dishwashers. What’s the point of using a dishwasher if you’re going to clean the dishes beforehand…

      I see you’ve never spent extended periods of time with shitty dishwashers and hard water

        I have hard water, there’s salt and a setting depending on hardness.

        Generic detergent and rinse aid and I never have dirty dishes.

          Oh come on you don’t need salt for hard water. Just raise the temperature a bit.

          People just use salt on sidewalks because heating them isn’t feasible. But in the kitchen, it’s much easier to eliminate hard water but just warming things up.

        At a certain point it stops being a dishwasher and works better as a drying rack. It’s the sorta shitty dishwashers that bother me most where I can still save time by partially processing the dishes but somehow like 1/5 of them come out worse than how they went in.

      Wiping off food debris =\= “cleaning the dishes”

        Scrape it off into the trash with whatever utensils you used to make/eat the meal. The sink doesn’t need to be involved.

      It’s not necessarily washing them first, but I do get the “chunks” out. As the only person in the house who remembers that the food doesn’t just magically disappear, and eventually has to clean the filter, I prefer to do the cleaning before the food gets to the filter. Everyone else, on the other hand, seems perfectly content to put a half-full bowl of spaghetti in the dishwasher.

        You can clean nearly every single dish beforehand or pull one strainer out and clean it. You have chosen the path of pain.
