> Tangentially I want to mention that rinsing dishes before running the dishwasher is a known anti-pattern. The first washing cycle is exactly that - a rinsing cycle.

I haven't been fortunate enough to use a dishwasher that can reliably remove all particles from a dish. And I hate getting a "clean" dish out which still has some small bits of food stuck - now especially well stuck having gone through the heat drying cycle.

Some dishes need a human rinse/scrub before going into the dishwasher. The dishwasher is really more of a bacteria reducer.
