NorCalJosh - not sure on dish saving (I do try to be as efficient as possible with cutting boards, pots, pans etc.) - biggest thing for me has been to employ a "clean-as-you-cook" approach.

So for prep if I'm chopping up vegetables / meat, always tossing stuff into garbage disposal or trash bin as I'm chopping. Also as stuff is cooking I make a point to clean up anything I can in the kitchen, rinsing stuff out whatever.

Think this might be fairly standard, but the resulting clean-up at the end is not nearly as painful.
