Currently on a work trip with colleagues. On the plane, two women got into a spirited debate about whether one should wash or rinse the dishes before loading it into the dishwasher. I didn’t get the strong opinions.

So I mentioned this to my coworkers when we landed, and it’s touched off a debate that is still raging. Now I don’t get two things -

First, why is this a debate?
Second, why do I work with disgusting people who don’t pre-rinse their dishes??

With modern dishwashers you're not supposed to pre-rinse. @otc has a lot of strong opinions on this.

Something about the enzymatic detergent needing larger food particles to latch onto for maximum effectiveness, isn't it?

Yeah, read the fücking manual if you want to settle the debate. Unless you have some ancient POS dishwasher or particularly filthy dishes that need soaking, just put that **** in there.

Also, utensils go in the basket handles DOWN if you want them clean. Don’t be a little ***** who points all the forks and stuff down because you might poke yourself or something.
