At some point I learned to clean as I cook, washing each item immediately as I’m done with the step that uses it. If you can get in the habit, it’s so much easier. Never a huge stack to clean and nothing sits there getting stuck on the pot/plate/whatever. Dishes are done before sitting down to eat and there’s only a couple when you’re done eating.
You don’t need any more than 2 cooking vessels be that a pot and pan or 2 pots. If you use more stop it! Also do the bloody dishes I ain’t your mother! How can 1 person use 4 plates and 12 forks before dinner in 1 day!?! How!
Maybe for you, but I’m the one who does the dishes, if every plate and half the cups are dirty in a single day when I’ve been at work, then I’d like to know how 2 meals used 6 plates and a dozen cups.
What are you on about? Just the other night I had a pan for roasting seeds, a pot for building a sauce, a pan for cooking protein and another pot for cooking my starch. And that’s just a Tuesday meal. If I made a dedicated effort to be minimal with vessels, I’d still have to wait for them to cool for cleaning.
Also, to all the clean while you cook advocates on here, that’s easier to do with a known preparation. When you’ve Just downloaded a new recipe and you have no idea what you are doing, your often don’t have the bandwidth to leave the project and start cleaning.

Bruh recipes take on average like a few minutes to read through. No one’s asking anyone to memorize anything, just read maybe two or three hundred words before starting to cook so you have an idea of what you’re doing
There are some dishes that should only be handwashed though. Most knives, pots, and pans shouldn’t be dishwashed. Even the ones that claim to be dishwasher safe will not last as long if dishwashed.
If it can’t be cleaned in the dishwasher, it isnt for me. Dont care what the label says. I put every dish through the crucible. If it melts, it’s trashed. If it cracks, it’s trashed. No pussy dishes in my kitchen. Get in the magic scalding water box and quit your bitchin’.

I have been asking my wife this for 3 years now. She still hasn’t been able to give a satisfactory answer.
Hey fuck you. “BECAUSE!!!” is a perfectly satisfactory answer

Protein and starch together could even put them in a roasting dish instead, and a sauce pot.
I dunno abouts seeds? What seeds are you roasting and how was this incorperated into the meal?
Im one guy so my food is simple one pot meals usually or two pot meals if I get fancy.
Then maybe read the recipe before you start.
Just have a photographic memory!!! It’s easy!

As someone with ADHD, using too many dishes is pretty standard.
My roommate uses every dish in the house daily. Idk how, it’s ridiculous
Don’t judge me!
Even just rinsing before food dries/hardens helps a lot for washing later. That’s what I do.
Dishwashers are a necessity in the kitchen if you have the space. I almost never hand wash a dish.

Amen! If they don’t survive the dishwasher then it’s just nature culling the weak from the pack.
I try to just not buy things that can’t be put in the dishwasher.
