"Dishes are done, man!"
How do they avoid soap poisoning?

Just go paper plates and cups.
The answer: paper plates.
I saw that when we stayed with my dad’s foster parents in England. They wash in soapy water and dry right away.
I’d like to attempt to get that soap stuff off before eating again off that dish or utensil.
Scrape, rinse with some mildly soapy water, into the d/w.
Maybe that’s why British food is so bad - a mouthful of soap in every bite.
You are better off using very hot water and scrubbing, than you are with soapy lukewarm water an no rinse. The soap doesn’t disinfect, it just acts as a surfactant.
Well, it keeps you regular
Nothing like a soap suds enema
I fill a large pot with hot soapy water and leave the faucet going off to the side. I wash in the pot and rinse under the faucet and then put the dishes in the rack to dry. You don’t need to turn the faucet on full force to give a good rinsing.
Times past the dish would be wiped and turned over on the table ready for use in the next meal.
My friend’s mother finally got a dishwasher for the first time in her whole life.
She ran her everyday plates thru one cycle. When she took them out of the dishwasher . . . they were a different color!
Xplauns much about English food
Hysterically stupid comment in the article...the soap evaporates. Some people are as stupid as I’ll educated Americans
I thought the automatic dishwasher rinsed them
When washing dishes in a commercial environment with a dishwashing machine, the machine sprayed soapy hot water at high pressure, followed by a rinse cycle, followed by a drying cycle.
When working in a commercial food prep environment without a commercial dishwasher, we had three containers: the first where dirty dishes were scraped, scrubbed, and cleaned with soapy water; the second where disinfectant was applied; the third where they were rinsed in clean, soap-free water.
When I was young and single (I’m old and single now), we had a quarter car-wash in town. I’d put all my dishes in a milk crate and go wash them and my car.
Don’t any of you guys and gals have a dishwasher?
I do. So for me the answer to the question is yes - that’s just how dishwashers work.
You are better off going the no soap route, scrubbing them with horsetail and dipping them in boiling water to get any germs.
You push start on the old whirlpool. When it stops…your dishes are clean. I don’t use heat drying.
I don’t know of these others things you speak of. At least not for 37 years.
I learned early on in (old school) Scouting)
that failing to rinse cooking gear or serving ware (plates) would result in a bad case of “The GIs”.
Not the least bit of fun. Wash with hot soapy water, rinse in near boiling (net bag used for this) - things dry quickly. Troop stays healthy.
Rinse off the soap unless you want the runs.
