      It makes washing dishes incredibly efficient, with less water wastage. I could wash the dishes for a family of four in absolutely no time at all, but without a double sink that takes much longer with more water used.

        Single sink makes cleaning pans so much easier. Everything smaller goes in the dish washer, so much faster than hand cleaning.

        As I understand from the other comments, it’s a place to put the dishes after they’ve been cleaned and ready for rinsing? The way I’ve always done it is I clean the largest vessel first, then everything goes into that vessel until it fills up, then do a round of rinsing. If I don’t have a large dirty vessel, I take out a large clean mixing bowl for this purpose.

        I did, in that terrible time without the dishwasher, that I would like to forget. I was taking a plate, scrubbing it with a sponge and then rinsing it with clean water from the tap.
        Or do you want me to tell, y’all using a dirty sink full of dirty water to do it?

        And you, just, like, put a clean dish in the same stale water as all the others? I am shivering just thinking about! Only the first couple of plates will be clean, everything else is dirty with the shit from previous plate!

          I’m not sure what you mean. I fully wash the dish in the wash water, then put it in the straight hot rinse water for a minute or so before putting it in the drainer to air dry. The hot water helps them air dry faster and rinses the soap off. If the rinse water is any less than completely clear, I’m not washing the properly, and I drain and refresh the rinse sink. In my opinion it saves water over rinsing each dish under running water.

          The rinse water is clean and stays clean. You’re rinsing off the soap suds. You can wash a shit ton of dishes and the end result is the wash water is dirty and the rinse water is clear. Frankly you’re being absurd, you’re not shoveling dirty water into the rinse water JFC. The rinse cycle on a dishwasher is wayyy worse.
