>From the 1930s through the '60s, Americans were convinced you had to have a certain kind of bowl to make a proper green salad: a plain, unvarnished wooden bowl which could never be washed. The idea was that the wood "cured" over the years, making ever more exquisite salads. Actually, the dressing seeped into the wood and the oil turned hideously rancid, so the bowls stank to high heaven.

just remembered some gross people do this with coffee mugs. i've heard it's common in the military.

I rinse most things and scrub off visible stains with warm water, no soap.

I only involve soap and detergent for pans with burnt on stains, it's not necessary for plates.

coffee doesn't go bad though

nor is there a downside, unless you're some hippie cuck

>wash plates after you use them
>wash plates before you use them

That's literally the same thing. If you wash them at any time, it will be after you've used them and before you used them again.

>let the flavor of your food soak into the plate for your next meal

Only if going for seconds, but I haven't done that in like 12 years before I became an ex-patriot.

Don't they make NSAID painkillers with mold?
What's so bad about a few little green and white mushrooms?

People actually do this with certain types of teaware. Yixing clay tea pots to be specific.
