I used to despise washing dishes. Then I opened a food biz, and spent many hours washing dishes and listening to audio books.
Now I don’t mind washing dishes. There’s something very satisfying about tackling a pile of dirty dishes and having them all shiny and clean at the end. It’s very Zen.
It helps that with great experience comes great speed. When others look at a destroyed kitchen and see hours of drudgery, I know that it will be beautiful in 15 minutes.
ive worked food service and wish i could say the same. I’d be all over dishes of i had at least a full power overhead sprayer. preferably with a 3 compartment sink but what i really want is the sprayer. the sprayer makes dishes fun.
Yeah, a full three compartment sink set up is great. One of my lottery purchases when I hit the big one, will be a house with a professional kitchen in it, with a serious dishwashing bay in it.
I really love those commercial dishwashers that have a 90-120 second cycle.
Growing up, the fine China was always hand washed.
Not that we were a China kind of family, but we had a relative that worked in a big China factory, and she would give every new couple a full set of China as a wedding gift. Now they’ve all been passed down, and we’ve got about six full sets of amazing China we don’t know what to do with. We don’t even bother with it on Thanksgiving and Christmas anymore.
Podcasts are also marvelous for this. Washing dishes is tedious, until your hands are going on their own in a pleasant way and I’m listening to “Revolutions” or “Mall Brats”.

dont forget commercial cookware to go along with it.
your mother-in-law’s fine china definitely won’t like a commercial dishwasher that’s for sure

Your new book title is: Zen and the art of dishwashing.
