Tonight I made Ribs, Scalloped Potatoes, and Mac and cheese. Decided to load into the Miele along with plates and other glassware. Pot &Pans cycle with minimal detergent. Let’s see what the Miele can or can’t do......
Not quite a bob load

Pretty good for the small amount of detergent and the horrible loading I did.
Ok, so I'm a fan boy, but..
Im perplexed by your results...
What model do you have and what detergent did you use?
Those results say to me that the unit didnt reach the right temp?

G5105 Futura Crystal
That ring around the pyrex and the chunks on the sheet pan shouldn't be there though.
I've gotten very comfortable with my G2020's results, but I did go in and raise the wash temp and added an interim rinse.
On pots and pans on a crystal, the chunks shouldn't be there if all three arms were working properly and that ring should be gone if it was hit with enough water that was up to temp.
Would detergent really make that much of a difference?
I guess I always stuff my machine full and I use Miele tabs.

Tonight’s torture
1 piece of chocolate sheet cake added mid cycle. Small amount of detergent and express cycle with turbo setting. Jkbff how do I increase temp and add rinse? Also excuse the dirty dishwasher front.

Where did you get this machine? Why don't you have the back half of your bottom wash basket? Or is it just pulled out?
Is the email in your profile current?

Email is current. Back half of basket is out. I got the machine for free on Craigslist. The softerner reactivation valve buzzes loudly (I replaced it and still buzzes). So the original owners were throwing it out.

Latest results just a little bit of cake bits left around and on the glasses, silverware basket, and roof.
express wash should be used only for very light soil on dishes.it also seems the point of knife placed in the bottom could prevent middle spray arm to turn freely. tabs are not suitable for express wash as the wash time is not enough for them to dissolve properly.

I use Cascade Complete Powder. I also wanted to try with express turbo because I like the short was cycle. This machine has an EXTREMELY long run time on pots and pans or normal wash.
I'm sending you an email but let me ask this, the 30-45 minutes the turbo option saves you, how much time and additional water is spent/used rewashing and drying the dishes?
I think this generation uses slightly more water than the current 6000 Generation machines, but I know the turbo option in the older units hinders wash performance.
That being said, if you used the turbo wash on both sets of pictures, that absolutely explains the wash results.
There is a reason for the lengthy times. Any wash-ability or drying complaints I've received from customers have all lead to someone pushing the turbo button. Turbo can't handle burned on or heavily soiled.

Only used turbo wash and express with that piece of cake. The Corning dish and baking sheet were done using pots and pans without turbo

I use Finish Quantum tabs for burned or stuck on food. Tabs may give a better result on burned on food than any type of powder.

I use the built-in water softener and tabs cause a major oversuding. I haven’t had the suds condition with the powder.
What is your water hardness and what is the DW set at?
But I agree, sometimes, unless the dishes are really dirty, the tabs will suds up.
So, if you have softened water, that amount of soap for the first load seems ok, but I am still concerned with the heat?
Did you get that attachment that I sent?

I got the attachment thanks!!! I turned on increased water temp, water level, prewash, soak, and interim rinse and I’ll see how it goes. I think it’s 15 grains, I’d have to check again. Also, I don think the dishwasher works correctly. The softener valve buzzes and sometimes I hear cavitation so not sure if it’s supposed to do that
