just read an apartment therapy before/after article about a kitchen renovation and the person said they got rid of their dishwasher because they don't have many dishes to clean (fine) and that it seems like a water waster (completely wrong!!!) and I screamed internally. hand washing uses much more water!!!

yeah it's counterintuitive for some reason. thanks federal efficiency regulations! hope they don't get rolled back!

I wonder if "European style" handwashing is more efficient (where you soap the dishes and fill the sink and wash them out in the same disgusting sudsy water) - rather than 'American style' where you have the tap running and wash each dish with fresh water.

I guess double quotes are European and single quotes are American (I know they're not really quotes but python gives me bad habits - as does being an unfashionable nun)

It's so you can use quotes inside a string without having to escape them e.g. 'what "fun" this is' or "what 'fun' this is"

I believe it depends on the dishwasher if pre-rinsing by hand is needed.

yeah pre-rinsing is a controversial subject. my dishwasher instructions say to scrape off the dishes but not to pre-rinse. I will pre-rinse if anything is really stuck on there, like egg, that I know won't come off.

my current dishwasher says it uses around 2-3 gallons per cycle.

This could actually be pretty ok? you can wash a full load of dishes (and the outsides of your maison jars) at the same time...

My mother would never allow enough unused space in a dishwasher to cook meals like this in one.

@see shy jo @Christopher Lemmer Webber @chicken snuggler I know about how long it takes to fill the kettle with 1 liter (quart) of water, and I dont think I let the tap run even that long when I do one dinner's dishes for three people.

Spray bottle with detergent + water saves me a lot of detergent and water.

Showering uses far less water than taking a bath.

I think that what you are supposed to do when you use few dishes is to wait until the dishwasher is full and then run it.

When I was living alone I remember I bought multiple kitchen tools so that I was able to cook more meals before I needed to wash some (and the dishwasher was run every other day, filled with more pots than plates).

I never prewashed, just scraped off big remains (if any) and washing every other day wasn't an issue (no smells, things got cleaned just fine); I don't live in a tropical country, however, that may reduce the time one can afford to leave dirty dishes around.

Also, if you need more than two days to fill the machine, yes, it may be a problem.
