    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.

      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”.

      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.
