We talk about the dishwasher a lot in our household. I have strong opinions on how it should be loaded (back to front, with the plates lined up just so), my husband has some strong opinions on how everything should be prewashed before it goes in (super-well, with nary a food smear in site). We discuss when it should be loaded (immediately after dinner, or can it wait a while), whether forks should point up or down, and when it should be unloaded (first thing in the morning, or whenever we have a spare five minutes).
Recently I spoke to Dirk Sappok, director of product development for Miele, and it turns out most of these things don’t matter. As long as you’re not blocking the sprayer (with, say, a large bowl) it doesn’t really matter how you load it up. Newer dishwashers don’t need pre-rinsing and can even sense the soil level to stop the wash cycle when plates are clean — although our ancient dishwasher definitely does not have that feature (it’s technically called a turbidity sensor; try to use that in a sentence today). And those other issues are more marital questions than dishwasher ones.
