I own a dishwasher. I'm good.

Handwashing is a waste of water and doesn't properly sanitize, because you'd literally burn your hands in seconds if you got the water hot enough to actually do so.

I don't pay for water in this house, but I do pay for electricity. Diswashers way too power intensive. Also, I simply cannot afford a dishwasher

A rack on the other hand...

Is sanitization necessary for dishes though?

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

I mean I don't want to eat off of dishes with bacteria on them but regardless there's no arguing that a dishwasher uses less water than handwashing. It's kind of hard to beat 3-4 gallons of total usage for both rinsing and washing an entire double-sinkload of dishes.

Absolutely not if you do a half decent job at washing them. Sanitary is a pipe dream anyway. The cabinet they're going in isn't sanitary. The air in the kitchen is full of fecal coliform bacteria. People don't wash their hands before they handle plates.

You can sanitize them submerged in the sink with dish sanitizer

And as a result you’re more likely to have allergies. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25713281/
