At some point I learned to clean as I cook, washing each item immediately as I’m done with the step that uses it. If you can get in the habit, it’s so much easier. Never a huge stack to clean and nothing sits there getting stuck on the pot/plate/whatever. Dishes are done before sitting down to eat and there’s only a couple when you’re done eating.

Yay! So your food can get cold as you’re preparing it, so wholesome! 🤗

Takes a couple seconds per dish when grime hasn’t set in. Just cook the food a tiny bit lower so you don’t burn it and it cooks properly, then wash a dish here and there in between stirs/flips/ingredients being added/whatever. Everything can be done at the same time.

Even just rinsing before food dries/hardens helps a lot for washing later. That’s what I do.

Dishwashers are a necessity in the kitchen if you have the space. I almost never hand wash a dish.

There are some dishes that should only be handwashed though. Most knives, pots, and pans shouldn’t be dishwashed. Even the ones that claim to be dishwasher safe will not last as long if dishwashed.

You don’t need any more than 2 cooking vessels be that a pot and pan or 2 pots. If you use more stop it! Also do the bloody dishes I ain’t your mother! How can 1 person use 4 plates and 12 forks before dinner in 1 day!?! How!

What are you on about? Just the other night I had a pan for roasting seeds, a pot for building a sauce, a pan for cooking protein and another pot for cooking my starch. And that’s just a Tuesday meal. If I made a dedicated effort to be minimal with vessels, I’d still have to wait for them to cool for cleaning. Also, to all the clean while you cook advocates on here, that’s easier to do with a known preparation. When you’ve Just downloaded a new recipe and you have no idea what you are doing, your often don’t have the bandwidth to leave the project and start cleaning.

Protein and starch together could even put them in a roasting dish instead, and a sauce pot.

I dunno abouts seeds? What seeds are you roasting and how was this incorperated into the meal?

Im one guy so my food is simple one pot meals usually or two pot meals if I get fancy.

Then maybe read the recipe before you start.

I have been asking my wife this for 3 years now. She still hasn’t been able to give a satisfactory answer.

As someone with ADHD, using too many dishes is pretty standard.
