  • if it's got that far you haven't done enough washing!
    in all seriousness, I never fill the washing basin so full of dishes that you can't use the tap to fill kettles/water bottles etc. Most of the dirty washing sits on the counter top beside sink, rather than in the basin.
    I don't like dishwashers, so will wash up several times on a busy cooking day, so as to retrieve counter top space and not have shit loads of dirty dishes/pots and pans sitting around..

  • Modern dishwashers are much more economical re waste water and heat than washing by hand.

    The only things that don’t get dishwasher treatment in our household are sharp knives, cast iron pans or items that are so large they stop the water vein sprayed around inside the dishwasher.

  • Dishwashers require space, which a lot do not have. See also, double sinks. A basin and a two tier drying rack are critical for my kitchen.
