That isn't true for modern dishwashers. You shouldn't even rinse your plates before putting them in, as the detergent needs stuff to grab on.
Everytime I leave food/sauce particles on utensils and dishes, the dishwasher doesn't get it all off because it hardens after a day or two while it sits in there waiting for the next run. So I rinse everything off by hand and then use the dishwater to get every last molecule of food and idk, kill germs I guess. Plus it then drys everything for me.
Whenever I try this, it does not work at all. Granted, I don't have a super new model or anything, but still. The food will harden and sometimes get permanently get stuck to the dishes as a sort of white soap-crust looking entity.
Maybe I should add that I'm vegetarian. Perhaps animal fat and proteins are harder to clean in a dishwasher.
Pro tip: Peanut butter and egg yolks become immune to water when they dry. They don't go in the dishwasher.
Have you ever... tried this?
Yep, I have kids though, so the dishwasher runs every day or 2. I sometimes "rinse" the dishes just to get them a little wetter before I put them in.
