I usually cook for myself, so I always have a pot or pan to wash. I also handwash cutting knives because we only have one small one and one medium one, and I hate when I can't find either of them. especially the small one. it's easiest for my green onions and cilantro, which I use all the time.
while I'm at it, I might as well just wash the spatula, spoon, whatever I cooked with, and then my plate isn't hard because it's flat, and scrubbing a fork takes just as long as opening the dishwasher and sticking it in. XD so that's why I handwash dishes. if we didn't have a scrubby brush, I would definitely just stick it in the dishwasher.
