If it weren't for the internet, it never would have even occurred to me to 'prewash in the sink', how difficult is it to wash a single plate anyway, at the point I'm 'prewashing' each plate I may as well just wash it in the sink?
The best I can come up with is that maybe it's advocates have a lot left on the plate, and where I would scrape into compost if that happened are using a sink garbage disposal grinder thing?
If it's just some kind of saucy residue like goes into my dishwasher (without any need for any kind of 'prewashing') then any machine that can't cope with it needs returning.
- linsomniac 3y agoWe have an automatic pre-washer that works quite well, the brand is Golden Retriever.

- OJFord 3y agoWhat are you concerned about that will survive 100°C? Or even 70 if you want to retract that hypothetical, since I'm not aware of any consumer dishwasher that will boil it's contents.

- marcus0x62 3y agoWait until this dude finds out what was crawling all over his food before (and maybe after) it was harvested.

- bigbillheck 3y agoHope you never eat anything with, among other things, onions or garlic.
- marcus0x62 3y agoMy dog (a dachshund/rat terrier mutt) once dug up and ate whole bulbs of garlic from our garden. Terrified, we took him to the vet. The vet said "if garlic was likely to hurt terriers, there would be no terriers." I'm not suggesting anyone run out and feed their dog a bunch of garlic on purpose - that would be dumb - but if you look at the toxicity data, a 30 lb dog would need to eat something like 200 grams of garlic to have a serious problem.
- linsomniac 3y agoTruth be told (which will stick it to the "that's disgusting" response), we don't do it very often, and definitely try to stay away from the bad-for-dogs foods (onions, garlic, grapes, chocolate). The bulk of the pre-washing happens in the dishwasher or in the sink.
- brightlancer 3y ago> Hope you never eat anything with, among other things, onions or garlic. As with many things, the risk is highly overstated -- so please stop spreading FUD. ---- "Onion poisoning is consistently noted in pets who consume more than 0.5% of their body weight in onions." https://www.petmd.com/dog/nutrition/can-dogs-eat-onions https://www.petmd.com/dog/nutrition/can-dogs-eat-onions ---- "Consuming as little as 2 grams per pound of your dog’s weight can cause observable changes in a pet's stomach, and larger amounts can damage the blood. For reference, each garlic clove weighs an average of 5 grams. For a medium-sized dog weighing around 25 pounds, treatment will be needed if they ingest 50 grams of garlic—approximately 10 cloves, or half of a garlic bulb." https://www.petmd.com/dog/nutrition/can-dogs-eat-garlic https://www.petmd.com/dog/nutrition/can-dogs-eat-garlic ---- Unless you're literally feeding your dog a dish with onions and garlic, it isn't an issue.

- silisili 3y ago> how difficult is it to wash a single plate anyway, at the point I'm 'prewashing' each plate I may as well just wash it in the sink? Wife and I came to the same conclusion. We just wash things in the sink, and use the dishwasher as an overpriced drying rack.
- winrid 3y agoThe dishwasher already pre-washes. I've put stuff absolutely covered in peanut butter, egg, bottom of air fryer, hot pot pan, etc in the dishwasher without prewash. Always comes out clean.
- OJFord 3y agoYes, I'm not sure I'd call it 'pre-washing' (it's just washing?) but we agree. To be clear I don't 'pre-wash in the sink', I was saying it's absurd to me and didn't even occur to me as an option or a decision I was making not to - I also don't 'pre-wash' my clothes, for example - until seeing people (mostly Americans perhaps) talk about it online. I don't think I've ever even heard of it in person, nevermind known someone do it.
- winrid 3y agoYeah I realized we were in agreement after posting :D
- Karellen 3y agoYou put cooked food into the compost? Aren't you worried about the salt?
- OJFord 3y agoRarely, because I eat my food (I said 'if that happened'). But if I make stock say, I'll end up with a lot of salty sludgy vegetable mush, and yes I'll compost that & no I'm not worried about the salt.
