@just4him Thank you, I love it too! =) Yes, as long as they get clean that's all that matters.

I rinse them off and then put them in the dishwasher. I do not turn the dishwasher on for at least 2 days as there are only the two of us here.

I rinse off any residue from a meal and put them in the dishwasher. I do wash the pots and pans by hand. Cookie sheets go into the dishwasher though.

@moeybags "Cookie sheet" is a relative term. What I mean is just a flat pan. I bake biscuits, cook french fries and veggie tots on mine. I haven't baked a cookie in a long time.

Most of mine go in the dishwasher but if I have to hand wash anything I do it the same way you do

@LovingMyBabies this is the first house I have a dishwasher. I washed dishes by hand most of my life until my kids got old enough and I could make them do it

@Marilynda1225 I never minded doing dishes by hand but being we have the dishwasher here I use it. Sometimes I might do a few by hand. Whatever mood I am in.

Most get done by the dishwasher. But the ones by hand get done one by one.. so neither of your ways i guess, lol

Great photo! I used to love when I had a kitchen with two sinks. I washed in one with soapy water and then put them in the second sink. When I finished I would rinse them. It made things easier.

@ramapo17 Do you find the double sinks a better arrangement than the one?

Most of the cups and plates go in the dishwasher. But all the rest get handwashed like how your husband does it. I will say sometimes there are not a lot of stuff to wash, so I will end up doing it like you do. Happy New Year! No resolutions about dishes . . . they always have to be done no matter what

@LovingMyBabies Well, my mom never had a dishwasher - and she will even say that handwashing cleans a lot better. I actually think that's true! Wishing you and your family a fabulous 2019!

@much2say My parents never had a dishwasher when I was growing up and I always washed them and my sister dried them. I actually liked washing them. I felt like I really accomplished something every night. We had a window in front of the sink and I would just stare out it. To me it was peaceful.

I put mine directly into the dishwasher. I only hand wash good china, crystal, and silver. Those need to be washed with a soapy sponge, then rinsed in clear running water, and dried asap. I always have helpers to help. Another terrific photo!

@LovingMyBabies Nice picture of her. I keep kosher so I have a side for milk things and a side for meat things. I have one sink so have to put something in the sink for meat and one for milk. I have soap in container for milk side and soap in a container for meat. I soak the dishes in the appropriate thing in the sink and put dishwashing soap on the dishes and then rinse off and put away in the proper place.

I have a portable dishwasher now. Love it. I tend to when washing by hand run hot soapy water, but also load a sponge so that if it is hard to clean I have extra umph. I put them in the second sink, or a dish pan, and rinse several items, putting them on the drainer for a while until dry. It is very slow. I also feel that the dishwasher gets them cleaner and more sanitized.
