I don't have a dishwasher either, but it's your choice of course.
However, as somebody else mentioned in this thread food poisoning is not
something to mess with... and I have had it once - that was enough, and
so I don't take too many risks with food. Even if I open a can of baked
beans, for example, and only use half, I put the rest in a container
with a lid and put it in the fridge. If I haven't used them within a day
or two - out they go. I try to freeze anything that is "freezable" for
that reason - I also hate wasting food
