Must admit, I haven't ever found this to be so. I've been using a dishwasher since the 70's. Once I had one, there was no going back. I often go for extended stays with a friend who doesn't have one. I do most of the cooking there and even though I'm only cooking for two, I end up exasperated by the amount of washing-up that piles up. I'm fanatical about clearing up after each stage of prepping food (I'm sure
@Berties will sympathise). I simply can't bear the dirty mixing bowls, spoons etc to be hanging about (especially as its a small kitchen). I
have to keep work surfaces clear. And because I love to cook, I'm often prepping several quite complicated dishes. So I end up, seemingly endlessly washing up whilst I'm cooking. It spoils the pleasure. At home I just pop the used implements, bowls etc. in the dishwasher.
I've tried piling them in the sink so I can wash them later - but that doesn't work because I then find I need to use the sink for washing veg or something. And anyway, I hate the sight of them hanging about!
