I haven't done any research on it, but I've been wondering lately if a well packed dishwasher is better for the environment than washing by hand.
Yes, it is.
you can actually put dirty dishes in and the food comes off with very few exceptions.
There was an effective ad a few years ago in which a woman bakes and frosts a big chocolate layer cake, puts it on a plate, then puts it in the dishwasher. Completely disappears during washing. However, chocolate cakes are extremely water soluble, so it's not so surprising.
BTW, check out the ER Forum cookbook for a recipe for cooking salmon in your dishwasher.
