for me, it’s hard for me to get the sense that dishwashing is better because nowadays when I do dishes it’s typically one bowl, one spoon, and one pot/pan… and it’s a lot quicker to handwash it at that point! especially since sticky rice is sticky.
but if dishwashers (and i’m talking about one for more like $500ish) can sense the load and adjust water flow based on that, I could believe that.
