Yep, this is a habit that seems to die hard for people. A modern dishwasher, even a $400 one, does not require you to rinse your dishes. It’s like magic, that turgidity sensor.
- cm2012 8y agoA lot of apartments do not have modern dishwashers! I know mine does need to be rinsed.
- bigbugbag 8y agoIt does not need rinsing but simply that food remnants be scraped or wiped.
- falcolas 8y agoYes, in my case, it does. Perhaps it's just that the dish washer is old or slightly malfunctioning, but nothing gives me baked on crap on dishes faster than not rinsing the "sauces" off the dishes. My wife was in agreement with you, until I let her run a few loads without cleaning them off - it was disgusting. So, yeah. 5-10 seconds per dish to rinse them off is often time and water well spent for a hygienic kitchen.
- athenot 8y agoSpecifically, it's proteins that set and harden with heat. Oils come off trivially in the dishwasher (unless they became polymerized through heat, a common process on pots and pans). The other variable is the time the dishes sit dirty before the dishwasher gets turned on.
- emodendroket 8y agoMy experience matches yours, yes.
- unwind 8y agoThat was confusing, but today I learned dishwashers have turbidity sensors[1], and that turgidity[2] is the force that pushes the cell's plasma against the wall. Took a while to sort that out, but thanks! :) [1] https://www.aquaread.com/need-help/what-are-you-measuring/turbidity/ https://www.aquaread.com/need-help/what-are-you-measuring/tu...

- wincy 8y agoSorry! Today I learned too. Mental note made, turbidity not turgidity.
