The heat accelerates the drying process, but the steam may inhibit it.
So the most efficient solution may be to open the door immediately after
the wash cycle completes to allow the steam to escape, then close it to
to have the heat help dry the dishes.

As others have stated, conduct some experiments and post the results.


I will just use the spatula wet if I need it before tomorrow.

I do like the tip to go ahead and use the dry cycle in the winter
though.
