Back when I had a full size dishwasher (just moved to nyc) - we’d just scrape off any big pieces of food and then immediately load the plates into the dishwasher along with any pots/pans/etc used to make food along the way. Set the dishwasher to clean (even if not full - we don’t care). Unload before we eat the next day. It’s pretty simple and took maybe a minute. Nowadays, I sometimes have to do two loads cause dishwasher is tiny and can barely fit one pan. So, I’ll do the plates first and the pan in another load. Still much faster than me cleaning by hand. Cleaning those pots and pans is annoying. Same for cleaning woks. Dishwasher does an amazing job. And yes - we’ve been very happy with the dishwasher. Literally is a blessing. We had a Bosch 800 series.
