DD603 fits in the Imperial section being 21 years per the serial (Nov 2022), 20+ years per the purchase date (Aug 2003).

The three OvenBrite bowls are identical size.  All five white ceramic bowls were for oatmeal, so 5 days.  No trace remained on the one on the shelf.  The 2nd photo glass bowl (4 cups/1 quart size) was some sort of leftovers.  Other items had been unloaded before the photos.

Back many years ago, when I was 16, I worked in a restaurant kitchen and was shown to have all dishes facing toward the middle, where the spray arm is. Never to face dishes towards the sides. I still load mine that way and they are always clean and as much as another dishwasher expert on here refuses to rinse off anything. Why does every industrial kitchen have a spray hanging to spray off before loading?

Tim, the reason for the careful pre rinsing in commercial settings is that food waste weakens the detergent solution in the wash tank. This is important when the wash solution is prepared to last for a meal service with minimal recharging during the operation so heavy soil is disposed of outside the dishwasher's wash tank. Daddy explained this when I asked him about the rinsing of the racks of dishes before being pushed into the Hobart turtleback at the Dobbs House restaurant when we ate dinner there when my sister was born and we were batching it. Dobbs had the food operation for Delta planes out at the airport and they had these neat little grill restaurants scattered around Atlanta. One was near us and we loved the char-grilled burgers and hash browned potatoes. I always picked seats near the Hobart at the counter.

The items loaded contrary to logic and convention all emerged perfectly clean, from a much-maligned model of machine, after awaiting for the stated days without (pre) rinsing.  Standard detergent is 1 tsp in the prewash cup of Cascade Complete powder (I found the box at back of the bottom shelf at the local grocery some while ago), 3 tsp of Cascade Fryer Boil Out in the main wash cup.

A couple items pictured pending for the next run.  Dried oatmeal probably isn't much of a challenge.

Six (white ceramic) oatmeal bowls, so how many days is that?

Thanks for sharing your clean dishes

WOW! Do you use a heated wash cycle to clean the dried soil? Do you spike the detergent with a little STPP? I do. I modify the normal cycle on my WP/Kenmore by advancing the timer to eliminate the drain after the first wash to give a 10 minute first wash to let the enzymes work longer and follow that with the heated main wash which is lengthened by about 6 minutes to bring the water temp up to 145F.
