      As I understand from the other comments, it’s a place to put the dishes after they’ve been cleaned and ready for rinsing? The way I’ve always done it is I clean the largest vessel first, then everything goes into that vessel until it fills up, then do a round of rinsing. If I don’t have a large dirty vessel, I take out a large clean mixing bowl for this purpose.

      I did, in that terrible time without the dishwasher, that I would like to forget. I was taking a plate, scrubbing it with a sponge and then rinsing it with clean water from the tap.
      Or do you want me to tell, y’all using a dirty sink full of dirty water to do it?

        I don’t use dishwashers, but I hand wash and rinse everything, as well as change the water when it’s greasy or otherwise too dirty.

        And I can taste when dishes have been in a dishwasher, for 40 years+

        That’s a terrible ineffective method, and a waste of water.

        Fill one sink with hot water + soup, put as much dishes in it as possible to soak them, and fill the other sink with fresh hot water. Clean one dish after another, preferably with a brush (you’ll burn your hands using a sponge), rinse them in the clean water, and put them on the dryer.

        If you do not have a second sink, use a tub for either purpose.

        And yes, the water will get dirty and cool over time, and you’ll have to switch if you’ve got too much dishes.

        Of course, if you’re only cleaning a plate and a knife and perhaos a glas, using just the tap is far more efficient.

          But the water is dirty. All this dirt you cleaned is there, in your water, floating, clinging to whatever comes close.

            No, you don’t use dirty water, you use clean water.

            Furthermore, the dirt does not cling to your dishes – it dissolves in the water, aided by soap. If it would cling to the dishes, you wouldn’t be able to rinse it off, either.

              Interesting once I figured out he doesn’t know how soap works on the grime of dishes. Almost like it was invented to overcome this exact problem.

              Hahaha funny shit.
