The Technology Connections content everybody is talking about covers it. The main wash’s detergent goes into the little compartment, which is closed, then a little extra goes on top to help with the pre-rinse.
That is the dumbest thing about pods. If you want to use your dishwasher “correctly” with detergent in both the pre-rinse and the main wash cycle, you need to use two pods for one load of dishes!
Either that or open & divide the pods I guess, but then you aren’t really using “pods” are you, lol.
The pods themselves are a waste. Just get liquid or powder detergent. It’s cheaper and does the job just as well (and possibly even better depending on the dishwasher)
Fuck it, do both; clean dishes
That’s what you’re supposed to do!

Dawn dishwasher soap would get hard reading your comment.
yes, double your consumption for no reason
It’s what you’re supposed to do though, you need soap for the prewash otherwise it does nothing.
Don’t do it with pods though that’s an insane amount of waste

Does nothing is a bit of an overstatement - I agree that it’s working non-optimally without detergent in the prewash-cycle.
