Do you have a dishwasher?

If you have to rinse your dishes before putting them in the dishwasher, then you have a crappy washer. You shouldn't have to do this.

It depends of what you ate. If it's something that includes cheese and you wait to have a full load before using it then I would say that you need to use it.

Yes, but I am trying to get a 1 stage Hobart for home use aswell - just need more space...

Not with my dishwasher. It's very rare that I ever have to put something back in to be washed again. If you have a crappy dishwasher, then yes, you shouldn't put hard, baked stuff in it.

The other thing to be aware of is proper dishwasher loading.

- don't overload the dishwasher (make sure there's room to get stuff washed, this means do not pile stuff in one bundle)
- make sure the spray arm has clearance and can spin freely
- put stuff in downwards so that water drains. That means cups, bowls, etc need to be pointing downward
- run the hot water at the faucet until it's hot before starting the dishwasher unless your unit has a pre-heater
- use a good detergent

Yep! Though now that I posted this watch it decide to crap out on me.

My dishwasher is a Hobart. It's big, heavy, old and indestructible.

The one that came with my fitted kitchen it's a CDA brand like everything else in there. Never heard of it personally but it's washed everything i've ever put in there. Even baked on stuff from casseroles etc. Never had to wash anything again (Unless I did something stupid like stack it so that water couldn't get to it).

I also don't put my good knives in the dishwasher, I wash them in cold water, my friend (who is a chef) told me that you should never wash good knives in hot water or dish washers. I'm not hundred percent sure why, but since I started doing that I've had to sharpen them much less so I guess his theory holds water.

I use hot water for my knives but I think the issue is that the dishwasher water is harsh on knives. I have a Zyliss Susi garlic press that is about 15 years old. It is some sort of silvery metal. I never put it in the dishwasher but my wife has done it a couple of times. The metal has turned into some sort of mottled gray. It must be the heat and the soap that has the effect. I would imagine it would do a number on carbon steel knives.
