Rinse Your Plates

A guy at work said this morning that he always rinses dirty plates before he puts them in the dishwasher. I told him that he shouldn’t rinse his plates because the dishwasher tablets will eventually ruin the plates.

Dishwasher tablets are designed to remove items that are stuck to surfaces of plates and pots/pans etc. so if there’s nothing on the surfaces then they will actually start to attack the surfaces of plates etc and ruin them.

So are you a rinser or do you just stick the dirty stuff in the dishwasher? Rinsing seems a waste of time and hot water to me!

I don't have a dishwasher but I do rinse and clean the plates before I wash them in the sink.

As a keen cook I’d be lost without my dishwasher!

I'd love a dishwasher, and I'd scrape not rinse when loading it

This has to be total bollocks.

I have a dishwasher and do tend to rinse but more often than not I hand wash them as I didn’t want the dishwasher to begin with

Most of my plates, glasses, etc are vintage, so couldn't go in a dishwasher anyway. And pots and pans in my mother's one don't come out clean. So I really don't think it's worth the cost, financial and environmental.

Rinsing is merely a waste of water. Anything big enough to worry about clocking a pipe with can be scraped into a food compost bin, then stick them in the dishwasher. If you rinse every item before you dishwasher them, you'll use 3 times as much water. Might as well run the dishwasher twice instead. As for attaching the surface, that's clearly utter bollocks of the underside of all our crockery would be fucked.

Only reason I give them a quick rinse (when I do) is so when I put the next nights plates in there I don’t end up with yesterdays leftovers all over the back of my hands

Lucky anyone who can afford to run a dishwasher with electricity prices the way they are.

Never had one anyway and never wanted one.

The way I eat, there is very little to wipe off the plate at the end of the meal. In the unlikely event of there being scraps, they go out for the birds (not at night, to deter rats).

If the plates are greasy (unlikely with my diet)then I wipe them first with tissues, appropriated during my travels etc, which then go in the waste bin for someone down the line to turn into electricity.

I wash up using cold water. My plates always look shinier than anything I have ever seen in most cafeterias.

Add me to the anti dishwasher team on here!

Just on this point, as I found it interesting so others might also...

I bought a bunch of smart plugs, of the sort you can remotely turn on and off etc, so I could automate turning off the tv and so on when I leave the house to save on standby costs etc. But I got one with a built in electric meter that measure how much juice it's used per day/week etc. Through judicious moving it around the house and resetting it to zero, I measured the costs of, for example, running a fridge for a day, running a standard watching machine load, running the dishwasher and so on and so on, so I have a really good feel for how much stuff costs either to run for the day for those things that stay on, or per usage like boiling the kettle, 20 minutes of Air Fryer...

Anyway, TL;DR my dishwasher costs 11p per cycle, and uses less water than doing it by hand which would also use as much gas for hot water as the dishwasher did for electricity in the first place. Dishwashers are actually a money saving device, as well as time, for many.

Get a cat, no rinsing required.

"Get a cat, no rinsing required."

With some cats (or dogs), you wouldn't need to wash the plate either.

Most experts agree that you scape but not rinse. The dishwasher soaps enzymes need food to cling to to properly wash the crockery.
