I read somewhere that dishes don't need to be rinsed when you are going to run the dishwasher right away. I tried it, and it was so quick and simple to load the dishwasher that it felt kind of crazy. And everything came out fine. That saves time and water! To avoid running the water when rinsing dishes for the dishwasher, we put a little water in the sink and rinse everything in the same water.
