Apparently pre-rinsing confuses the dishwasher or something. Not doing it leaves me with residue all over the other dishes though 🤷

My dishwasher somehow checks how dirty the water is after the first rinse and adjust ms the washing time accordingly, so getting ketchup and sauces from the plates before makes it run shorter.
That may save some time but I don't think it'd save water. Dishwashers don't constantly add new water. Itll add water for a rinse, wash it out, and then more water for the clean. I'm sure some dishwashers do a third cycle as well
