   @thor Or just wash it by hand if it's not a lot of dishes.

     i have gradually come to accept that the dishwasher needs to be run every day even if it's not full. i need clean dishes, pots, pans, utensils and cutlery for the next day.

     i do all of my cooking with a grand total of 4 vessels:

     - big pot
     - medium sauce pan
     - small sauce pan
     - deep non-stick skillet

     the big pot is rarely used, but i bring it out for slow cooking and steaming and such.

     the medium sauce pan is for boiling things such as pasta or vegetables.

     the small sauce pan is the one i make actual sauces with more often.

     the skillet comes out when i'm going to fry something up for a one-pot meal. it's big and deep and comes with a lid, so it can be used for stews.

     occasionally, one of the sauce pans is used for stir frying because it takes less space and uses less oil.

     i only have two heaters on my cooktop so i have to plan a bit when i cook. in some cases, i've boiled pasta in the microwave to free up space.

     i also have an air fryer and the apartment's microwave has a broiler which can be used alone. i also have an electric grill, but it doesn't get used as much.
