Plastic bowls in sinks. A water receptacle in a better functioning water receptacle. And it inevitably gets filled with teaspoons, mugs and dirty water.

Because Belfast sinks.

So sludgy food waste can be flushed to avoid washing all the crockery in a soup of increasing concentration/turbidity.

Been using them all my life, washing up in my GF's place without was a nightmare.
Use it to hold dirty stuff before washing, take out dirty stuff, then fill with soapy water, wash and refill as you feel. Empty food strainer into food waste container.
Empty (scraping any food detritus into food waste container) refill with clean water, rinse dishes, leave to dry, empty water into sink, use that water to clean sink if required.

I suppose it depends on whether you wash and then towel dry dishes, or if you rinse and air dry.
I find washing dishes in a sink without a plastic bowl, a heinously dirty affair, and can't stomach it..
