What wastes more energy washing a teaspoon after using it or using a lot but not washing them up until later?

Question

If someone uses a teaspoon when making a cuppa and then washes it, do they then use more energy (assuming they are using hot water) than if they simply use another teaspoon when they make another cuppa and leave them all to be washed up later?

Answer 1

leaving them all and washing them later takes up more energy

Answer 2

I agree with Grandma, one at a time works for

me, many makes more water. Thanks Grandma!!

Answer 3

What about just rinsing it off in a glass of water and using it again? I keep a glass of water & just a drop or two of blech by the sink, then I dip the spoon into it, sweirl it around, and used it over again. When the water gets bad, just dump it and start over.

Answer 4

if all you use in a day is a cup and teaspoon then sure just rinse it of when done ,but if you have more cups,dishes,pots and silverware than just leave them and once a day wash up everything or when you have a sink full.

Answer 5

if you can reuse the cup, then why not the spoon.  

wash it all together in one wash when it comes to doing the dishes after dinner. (or when ever)

Answer 6

I dont know.

Answer 7

If you are talking about body energy, you can save your energy if you do the washing once, meaning you just leave your cups and spoons in the sink. But washing cups and spoons do not use a lot of energy unless you have some really bad physical problem
