It’s not about the cooking, it’s the f*ck ton of dishwashing left.
I have an Asian background and my family pretty much never used the dishwasher even if the apartment we rented had one. Then like 5 years after living on my own I started using the one at my apartment and holy sht is it easy to use and good at cleaning. It also apparently saves water (although you use electricity so not sure if it all balances out). Not everyone has a dishwasher but if you have access to one, they are amazing. Just only use powder dish detergent.
Going from a lifetime of doing dishes by hand, fighting with siblings and partners over it, forgetting to do them until 2000h; to being able to put them in a machine, is a huge shift. Like having a totally 100% tidy kitchen with no stray dishes on the counter is suddenly a possibility.
