    If you're absolutely sure then I won't rinse the plates first. It's just that ours got clogged up last week because a certain husband didn't clear dregs off plates!! Men!

    I'll give it a try and not rinse the dishes. The machine is fairly new, so it should work.....old habit die hard, though.
