To rinse or not to rinse

Ive never owned one id sooner hand wash.
I know most people i know leave them in there and never put them away.
Wash use put them back in

Big chunks of food I scrape off. I don't find the trap gets very full so I think it's alright.

I totally over think this. If I have a lot of dishes, I'll rinse and select shorter cycles. If not, I'll skip rinsing and let the dishwasher run longer and do the work for me.

I do rinse it off before putting it in the dishwasher I don't want a bunch of Globs of food clogging up my filter line

I hardly ever use my dishwasher anymore but when I do I just scrape the food off

Rinse them. Food particles can clog the filter and that’s a hassle to clean

always rinse before putting anything in the dishwasher. don't want foul odors

I've never met someone that just puts plates in without quickly rinsing them off

Rinse first

always rinse first. if you were to look inside my dishwasher before turning it on you'd swear they were washed already

When I had a dog I would put them on the floor and let the dog lick them clean, then put them in the cupboard

I over rinse everything
I also over soap too

I use paper plates now. No.more dish washing. ☺

There's a dishwasher soap being advertised (Dawn) which encourages dirty dishes covered with food to be put right into the dishwasher WITHOUT first being rinsed, siting the water savings as being the motivation for buying Dawn soap.

This can be done because inside the drain of a dishwasher is a miniature macerator which pulverizes small food particles which fall through a metal screen, but if food is large enough that it doesn't fall through the screen, then it ends up being trapped in the screen which then must be removed and cleaned by hand in the sink after the dishwashing cycle.

Whether one rinses the screen or rinses the dishes off before washing, it still leads to the same amount of rinse water being used for 'rinsing'!

Do you have a Dish Washer?
Here's Mine!

More than rinse... We pre-wash in the sink.

I line the dishes up in the drive way and run them over with my convertible.

Depends who's sitting at the table blocking the path.

Rinse first and no pans in the dishwasher.

...put them where?

Rinse first. Always.
