Yuk!

What's yuk about it?

Piling up dirty dishes.

Yeah, my thought too. It's bad enough piling up dirty dishes *into* the
dishwasher but to consider piling them up on the draining board is beyond
the pale imho.


Do you have OCD? Do you wash your hands 30 times a day? It's just a
small amount of food that soon dries out, it doesn't smell.

It's the emptying of the cleaned dishes and cutlery *out* of the
dishwasher which both me and the missus find a bit of a chore. Filling
the dishwasher seems less of a pain (unless your other half is hell bent
on sabotaging your efforts at honing your skills as a "Load Master").


If you use your crockery from the dishwasher, there's hardly any to take
out by the time you do the next load.

I guess one way to eliminate the "Putting the dishes away" problem is to
install *two* dishwasher machines[1] so you can alternate between them as
a clean dishes 'source' and a dirty dishes 'sink' - no need for a full
size dishes/crockery cupboard[2] then! :-)


Why would you need that?


So you don't have to shift the pile on the sink into the
dishwasher when its time to run the dishwasher.

I just use the clean ones in the dishwasher while the dirty ones pile up
on the sink.


Makes more sense to put the dirty stuff straight into the dishwasher
in a kitchen which has been designed to allow the dishwasher to be
left open.

The other alternative to a pair of dishwashers is a single dishwasher
that has spare trays and somewhere to put the extra trays so you
can take the trays of clean stuff out of the dishwasher into the
runners in the cupboard next to it and use the clean stuff out
of those spare trays as you need clean stuff. And put the dirty
stuff straight into the other pair of trays as they get dirty.

Not ideal tho, trays full of dishes arent the lightest thing around.


And if it slips out of your hands you lose a lot of dishes.

Why is it in the 21st century we're still using breakable pots?
