Really retarded article by Yahoo! above...

" Experts unanimously agree that you should NOT pre-rinse your dishes before loading the dishwasher.

Why not? Because your dishes will not get any cleaner if you rinse them before loading your dishwasher. "

Experts my ass...

Everytime I didn't pre-rinse my dishes there ALWAYS would be food and grime left in it! Ugh!

Who are the experts ? They are from the industry. The more washer get malfunction/breakdown and more chance a new washer will be bought and may be ££££ or $$$$ bonuses. ha ha ha

Dishwasher or not, I always pre-rinse or 'soaked' them which make life much easier.

If you spend time pre rinsing, it almost the same as washing them by hand. Plus you are using extra water.
