      People who don’t make a lot of dirty dishes? Running a dishwasher that is not full wastes water and energy. When I was single I would only run the dishwasher twice a week or so.

      Modern dishwashers can easily clean tons of crust. That’s why it takes them so long. As long as bigger chunks are gone and you clean the trap you are fine.

      I have twelve dinner plates. Often I’ll use two a day (my partner doesn’t share my allergies or diet and mostly uses bowls)

      We have many hot drink mugs

      We have twelve sets of cutlery

      The dishwasher runs when we run out of clean [plates|cups|cutlery] that is weekly or less often
