Dish washing in UK.

[Herman30]

Please tell me this isn´t true! Saw a video where a person washing dishes said in UK you don´t rinse dishes in clean water after washing in soapwater.
In that case without rinsing all the food will taste of soap!

Why are you watching videos of foreigners washing dishes? I, and everyone I know, rinses in clean water.

We often use this method in the UK, really quick and simple...

I´d take that as an effective prewash but would prefer to do the main wash myself.

Depending on the meal (Bolognese/curry) and the dog (colour etc) you occasionally have to rinse the dog with clean water...

if you have more than one dog that's not necessary: they just lick each other clean...

When handwashing, I’d always rinse it with water after the soapy wash.

Thankfully have a dishwasher these days, which does it all automatically using magic.

fwiw, I rinse. My brother does not. Although given how many times I've had to redo the end result of his efforts at washing up, arguably he doesn't rinse or wash...

Sounds like my mother-in-laws efforts was washing up.
We are pretty sure that she uses vegetable oil instead of fairy....

I very seldom meet anyone who can wash and dry a glass to my standard. Something nice about drinking out of a crystal clear glass - especially if it’s wine or whisky.

We have never owned a dish washer. Washing Up was part of the family social life. It still is quite a celebration at Christmas with loads of us getting the job done before the hilarity. We sit between fourteen and twenty one at Christmas depending on in-law cycles.
My children very quickly learned that there was only ever one reply to, “Aw Dad do I HAVE to?”

I rinse before washing.

No I never rinse after the washing up bowl.
No it does not taste food or drink.

Same here, you could call me autistic when it comes to rinsing the dishes. It has got to be absolutly clean. Rinsing every plate, glass etc under running water for at least 30 sec each.

Nah - patina adds flavour ... and texture....

 

[Toddy]

I have three dishwashers....we all do our own generally under running water...which is wasteful, I accept that, but it works for us.

I reckon clean enough to be healthy, dried properly, and it'll do fine.

I don't ever wash my tea towels with any other laundry though. I do them by hand.

Okay, Chris, I'll bite - what's required to meet the standard? Enquiring minds, and all that.

I don't do a post-wash rinse and would say that's the same for my extended family, my wife's family, my former housemates, my friend's I holiday with. I've never noticed a soapy taste issue.

Extremely hot water - that was the trick when I did 'professional' washing up as a lad!

Nope - I have never tasted grease or soap on anything. Clean, hot water and decent washing up liquid - wash, drain and air dry.

What a waste of water! My dishes are perfectly clean after washing so no need to rinse.

Phew, I doing feel so left out now.
