Not the way I wash them in two small square containers, and I don't have a
lot of dishes.

I've read that statement on sites in the past. Can I assume a
dishwasher uses less water than sink washing because the
belief is when hand washing the water is left running
continually?

When I wash dishes here the stopper is put in both kitchen sinks and
one is used for washing while the other sink is used for rinsing.

Key words: Full load
Those two small containers probably use half what the machine uses.
That saves when doing just a few dishes, but if you can wait and fill
the machine, you could be ahead.

Many studies have been done. These took a sensible approach.

your rinse technique is not sanitary as there are numerous microbes
living in the sink basin. Your county health department would declare
your washed dishes unsanitary. They must be sterilized with fresh tap
water heated to at least 140 degrees (F).

1 teaspoon of bleach is all you need in the rise water.

I have seen this done in old movies. It is pretty strange. OTOH, the plates washed this way ain't gonna kill you and at my house, we don't care about the declarations of the dept. of health. Hee hee.

High is the number of people that want to control you in the land of the free and home of the brave!

The health department doesn't concern itself with home kitchens.
The risk to public health is nil. The risk to Joan's family is
quite small.

I've always been a running-water rinser myself, here in the
Great Lakes State. Everything except sharp knives and really
big stuff goes in the dishwasher, so that doesn't leave much.

Well I have been washing dishes like this all my life and countless
100's of thousands before me have used the same method with nary a
tummy ache or diarrhea. Since I'm not operating a restaurant here
the health department will not be visiting me and I WILL continue to
do my dishes in this manner.

My sink has a sprayer, too, and I use it after scrubbing the
sink or to rinse a large and cumbersome pot.
