loading dishwasher
Filling dirty dishes
Loading dishwasher refers to the act of placing dirty dishes, utensils, and cookware into a dishwasher before running a wash cycle.
The phrase often appears in discussions of domestic labor distribution: I cook, he does loading dishwasher duty.
There's mild cultural debate about optimal loading technique—whether cups go on top, how to arrange silverware, whether to pre-rinse.
