Ok. I quickly rinse the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher, and put them straight back to the cupboard once it's done. I've been washing dishes by hand for 15 years and now I have my first dishwasher. So I know the difference, and I'm loving it.

I don't even rinse - I just throw bigger chunks of food to the garbage can and that's it. I event let the sauce to flow to the bottom of the dishwasher.
