Can somebody please explain to me the concept of a washing up bowl? I just don't get it. Why is there a problem with just putting the plug in the sink?
That is all I have to say.

I may have to disagree with Mr Washy Wash and whoever wrote the article in the times 6 years ago. You see, their problem is that they aren't using the washing up bowl properly.
Since it holds less water, it means you change the water more regularly, thus making the whole process more hygenic, without using an excessive volume of water. It also has the added advantage that you can still drain things down the sink, and of course you can do the rinse into the sink (which ought to be done with very hot water) without changing the temperature of the water in the washing up bowl. I am a great fan of the washing up bowl and would recommend it very highly to make washing up more efficient and more hygenic.

Loving the bit in the article
"Washing-up bowls are an absolute menace"
Professor Hugh Pennington, Aberdeen University
Obviously a key point...must note..washing up bowl = menance
Though I agree they are quite menacesome when you tip the water out the bowl towards you and do it quite quickly and end up damp or wet depending on the speed of the tip.
Hope you're well and things are going well

Interesting debate! I agree with Mark, and cannot emphasize enough the importance of rinsing dishes after initial scrub in the bowl. The thing I'm confused about it whether rinsing in hot water is a waste of energy... Does cold water do the trick?

Thanks Anna, maybe I should start a cheeky facebook group in favour of the much neglected washing up bowl.
I think cold water is generally unsafe! Plus rinsing with hot water has the added benefit of drying your dishes much faster, since it appears to evaporate quickly leaving your dishes almost bone-dry after a few seconds. They therefore won't have to be "contaminated" with dirty drying cloths and can be put away into the cupboard speedily.
All thought through, you see.
