Do you rinse your dishes etc prior to giving them a cycle?

When I tell people that I do this, they invariably look at me as though I am somehow unhinged.

My dishes are practically spotless before they go in as well. I can't help it

Most dishwashers have sensors that check the initial rinse and adjust the wash cycle accordingly. If you rinse you might end up with a wash cycle that doesn’t properly clean.

Had this flat since June and never used the dishwasher! Can wash up by hand in about 3 minutes, don't need 100 minute cycle rattling and banging away

My cat usually licks them pretty clean before they go in the dishwasher… unless I’ve had a curry, in which case I rinse it under the tap first because it stinks (the plate, not the cat).

Scrape bits into the bin, the rest goes in the dishwasher.

Although... DO NOT PUT ANY TINY SPEC OF WEETABIX IN THE DISHWASHER. Weetabix coated stuff gets washed in the sink.

I must admit that I usually only run my dishwasher when I’ve had a particularly greasy meal (fry ups etc)

The rest of the time, my dishwasher sits as an expedient storage unit.

Is it weird that I'd rather have to wash the ones the dishwasher couldn't handle after than preemptively wash them first when they might not have needed it?Might be my weird logic.

We stayed in a gîte once and put the dishwasher on at around 10am as we left for a day out. When we arrived back at 6pm it was still going
