Dishwasher rant

Just had to let off steam. One of THE most annoying things is unloading the dishwasher to find that a dish or pan or piece of cutlery seemed to escape blasts of cleaning power and has retained its layer of food. This is annoying in itself. But then, cleaning said item is fifteen times harder once its been through the dishwashing process than it would have been washing the damn thing up in the first place. The dishwashing process seems to seal food on with some kind of varnish so that huge amounts of hand-cramping energy is required to chip, soak and scrub said food particles off. Fails to improve my mood.
