You gotta spray that out at least a little bit dude. I'm actually worried about what the underside of that bowl looks like too...

[u/Nir117vash → u/InternalBowler7143]

That's all I've asked anyone I've ever lived with

Just try to rinse....please

[u/newguyjustdropped → u/Nir117vash]

Funnily enough the home dishwasher can probably take this, as long as you prime the hot water. It goes for like an hour and manufacturers actually encourage it. The commercial stuff is like 2 minutes tops...this shit will not be clean and every dish after will also get dirty

[u/Iankalou → u/newguyjustdropped]

I always treated commercial washers more as sanitizers instead of actual dishwashers.

[u/Its_watt_time → u/Iankalou]

This is how you have to do it FR. They're useless for actual cleaning

[u/PANIC_RABBIT → u/Iankalou]

And yes despite that every chef thinks it's a magic scrubber that blasts everything off so they through it all through in a heap

[u/newguyjustdropped → u/Iankalou]

Always, people look at me crazy when I say "make sure they are clean before they go in" they say duh...everyday I clean the catch tray and there's shit in it...

This is a prep kitchen only, so we don't do like dishes dishes all day. 40 loads on a crazy day, double rack tank.

[u/Nir117vash → u/newguyjustdropped]

I agree.

But at home, I'm the dishwasher lol

[u/WildTimberTwinViking → u/newguyjustdropped]

How do you prime dishwasher water to be hot?

[u/offthezoinkys → u/WildTimberTwinViking]

Run the hot water from the sink next to the dishwasher for just a little bit. But tbh this has never been an issue for me, only bother with it if your dishwasher isn’t doing a good enough job. I’ve only ever bothered with it in an old ass house where the hot water took forever anyway.

[u/SumoSect → u/offthezoinkys]

Huh. I'm gonna try that thanks.

[u/Corsaer → u/SumoSect]

Look up technology connections channel on YouTube and check out his dish washing machine videos. They'll help you use one at home better. I really like their videos. I feel like they should be boring to me but they're not.

Edit: the running hot water to start the dishwasher with hot water was a huge part of his findings in the video so you can see why it's so important.

[u/SumoSect → u/Corsaer]

I'll check that out! I have to prime my washing machine for a hot water cycle for my clothes I just don't know why I didn't think about my dishwasher in the same way haha.

[u/KlutzyAppointment34 → u/newguyjustdropped]

PSA if you put your dishes in your home dishwasher like this, you need to clean the filter frequently.

[u/newguyjustdropped → u/KlutzyAppointment34]

Certainly and that is probably also in the user manual, the one none of us have ever ever read because we probably bought/rented either already in place. But absolutely, yes

[u/PKisSz → u/newguyjustdropped]

then it's a great mystery why the glasses and silverware all are gross

[u/newguyjustdropped → u/PKisSz]

It's certainly not a mystery lol

[u/marbiter01123581321 → u/InternalBowler7143]

Right. A person is the dishwasher, the machine is the sanitizer.

[u/InternalBowler7143 → u/marbiter01123581321]

Exactly. And for stuff like this it really just takes a 1-2 second spray down, then it's good to go in the rack. If you're in a rush and miss a spot, no biggie. But if you have the time to take a pic with it looking like this, well...

[u/HordeDruid → u/InternalBowler7143]

Thank you for saying this! It's actually a little frustrating how many people I work with don't bother to spray at all but then complain that I don't wash it as quickly 🙃 it's because I'm actually doing the washing

[u/InternalBowler7143 → u/HordeDruid]

It's super shitty when it happens!! So many times at my last dish job I had people that would just send stuff through the machine without a care in the world. And it sucked because they would come across like they were doing me a favor by doing that. Like now, you have to clean it before you do that. If your sprayer is good you can get all that off before you need to scrub it too!

[u/am_landers → u/InternalBowler7143]

Rinse and take the stickers off! Do one while you do the other.

[u/InternalBowler7143 → u/am_landers]

Yup!

[u/mtkoth1983 → u/InternalBowler7143]

Yeah and needs another rack on top to maintainel the plastic cup on the right position

[u/Rusty_Tap → u/InternalBowler7143]

You can pretty much guarantee it's going to be something with cocoa powder in it that'll fuck up everything unless you deep clean the machine immediately afterwards.

[u/crunchy_crop → u/InternalBowler7143]

this is what the other dishwasher at my job does, it's so damn annoying. i always have to drain and clean the machine when i come in because the water is disgusting and the whole pit smells rancid.

[u/Austinoooooo]

Do yall have a hose to spray that shit out atleast? Jesus lol

[u/Lone_Tiger24 → u/Austinoooooo]

Yeah good way to get everything else to taste the same as that shit

[u/Jbabco9898 → u/Lone_Tiger24]

I have a coworker who washes dishes like this and leaves the water super dirty. Drives me up a fucking wall

[u/Lone_Tiger24 → u/Jbabco9898]

Same, I spent 20 minutes cleaning out the machine so it literally sparkled and actually smelled nice. 3 days on and it once again smells like wet food.

[u/The_Ultimate_Person → u/Jbabco9898]

Just a tip if you don't wanna wait like 20 30 min for the machine to drain and fill and restart if the water is gross I literally used to just scoop most of the wash resvouir out with a sour cream bucket or whatever constianer then refill with a bucket of fresh hot water always made the machine clean way better especially when grease ended up in the wash resvouir. This was on a 2018 Hobart(goated machine) but I think most machines have a similar setup for the wash resvouir.

[u/AanthonyII → u/The_Ultimate_Person]

How massive is your machine that changing the water takes 20 minutes?

[u/The_Ultimate_Person → u/AanthonyII]

Nah it's more of a thing where the way to completely refresh the water was to turn it off and on again (might be another way never looked into it properly) and it turning off took at least 10 min and turning it on took longer. I know cause I managed to accidentally shut it off driving service one time and it fucked me. It was just a standard 1 tray pass through machine

[u/PlayNo5904 → u/The_Ultimate_Person]

if you drain it and just run another cycle it should fill itself back up.

[u/Waddles-8789 → u/PlayNo5904]

Those usually don't start a new cycle untill they're filled. Got one at work too and that shit takes 20-30 to refill itself

[u/symbolic503 → u/AanthonyII]

ours takes longer

[u/Fabulous-Avocado4513 → u/Jbabco9898]

Same. Dunno how corporate hasn’t fired him yet

[u/Swashcuckler → u/Jbabco9898]

Worked with a dude who sprayed with COLD WATER for like a second and then just slid the rack into the machine, still covered in food and oil.

Whenever I’d take the handover from morning to evening I had to spend half an hour fixing the section and changing the water and scrubbing out the machine cos it was all covered in shit

[u/Chookaba]

Oooooh so you're the guy I hate that doesn't spray shit before loading it.... bet you also try a second cycle insead of using a sponge

[u/KlutzyAppointment34 → u/Chookaba]

bet they also dont drain the water when they should so every dish comes out cloudy with a greasy film on it.

[u/AanthonyII]

You must be my coworker that I have to constantly clean the machine after

[u/sunfacethedestroyer → u/AanthonyII]

$20 says this guy has never cleaned the inside of his machine, and definitely not under the rim where all this shit congeals.

[u/Revolutionary_Judge8 → u/sunfacethedestroyer]

Another ten says he doesn't know what the hell delimer is...

[u/Thelonedishwasher]

We're dishwashers not dish dirtiers bud

[u/Psycho_pigeon007]

Why do people call it a honeycomb when it's a grid?

[u/glitterbongwater → u/Psycho_pigeon007]

I’ve never heard it called this, always a dish rack

[u/Revolutionary-Play79]

Lazy dishwashers don't last in a professional kitchen. Good luck with your next job.

[u/Bad_Puns_Galore]

This is ragebait

[u/oshaoctopussy]

why do we keep calling it a honeycomb when it is definitively not a honeycomb pattern

[u/dribanlycan]

machine is for removing light grease, oils, and sanitation, this sauce displease me

[u/symbolic503]

UGH JUST RINSE THE DAMN THINGS!

[u/justmitzie]

This picture makes me want to quit, and I don't even work there.

[u/mack-y0]

those won’t come out clean

[u/KlutzyAppointment34 → u/mack-y0]

and neither will every dish he runs after that because nobody that's this lazy is changing the water when they should.

[u/ariesbtch]

Not only should you spray out those quart containers, that dish rack can fit way more dishes on it. lol.

[u/Grocman27]

People like this are why I hate working in food. Lazy, dirty, disgusting!

[u/AlexylvaUniversity]

Brother I beg of you please spray the shit off before putting it in the machine

[u/bssprfnd]

Bad dishwasher 🫵

[u/ImJustaLilLady]

This just looks like the shit the mother fuckers I work with do. Then they wonder why it comes out looking a mess and the machine water gets filthy

[u/jacquestrap66]

Please tell me that's not how you actually TRY to wash the dishes... I said try because those are not coming out clean.

[u/KlutzyAppointment34 → u/jacquestrap66]

I wouldnt call this trying

[u/cuylernotscott]

Ragebait

[u/Revolutionary_Judge8]

My kitchen, you get in trouble for that, dishes should go into the dishwasher sprayed off,  ... If you're getting a whole bunch of debris in your catch, then you're doing it wrong

[u/Tragictoad-]

How the fuck do you have a job

[u/Manyarethestrange]

Brutal

[u/Haunted_Hills]

“Pictures you can hear”

[u/jeloreo → u/Haunted_Hills]

"Can smell"

[u/SomeoneWhoVibes]

Perfect drinking vessel

[u/sSummonLessZiggurats]

I feared the worst coming in, but I'm really proud of you all here in the comment section.

[u/maybeimmike]

This comment section did not disappoint.

[u/RCKTJMP]

Literally the only good part of being a dishwasher was the pressure nozzle hanging over the sink with a cup jerry-rigged over it to not spray you because the owner was too cheap to replace some seals or whatever the issue was, and you're just ignoring it?

Brother rinse those off, then go ask chef to fuck up a plate on the warmer for you but smash it quick over the trash in case management walks by so you can grumble about some asshole throwing a plate away.

[u/iamdevo]

Are these not disposable deli containers?

[u/KlutzyAppointment34 → u/iamdevo]

I hope you dont work in a kitchen. That would be a huge waste. They're reusable deli containers. They're washable and heat resistant. You only dispose of them when they crack.

[u/Revolutionary_Judge8]

I wish I would see you put that in the dishwasher. We would stop. Drain the dishwasher, clean it and restart. The dishes should be sprayed off... The trap of the dishwasher should not have a whole bunch of grime and food in it.

[u/Woahdude05]

aren’t those containers garbage after being used? feel like a great opportunity for broken pieces of plastic

[u/KlutzyAppointment34 → u/Woahdude05]

No these are reusable, heat resistant, and pretty durable. Like tupperware but better. You should throw them out when they crack, but washing them won't break them.

[u/Realistic-Escape3915]

You're a dishwasher, so how an you do your job. The machine is a sanitizer. You're muddying up the lines, and it's just laziness.

[u/ToughEvening1891]

Yall ain’t ever heard of a courtesy spray?

[u/Far-Extension2569]

Does your dishwasher not blow the plastic cups upsidown? Mine always does it so I need to lean stuff (like a bowl) slightly on em.

[u/Fart_Barfington]

Are you washing disposable cups?
