I love watching videos about plane crashes on my old tablet when I'm cooking or rinsing (non-native here, is that right for doing a dishwasher's job by hand?).

Native speakers refer to it as "washing the dishes" (the full phrase). "Dishwashing" is technically correct but it's also awkward and clunky.

This was spoken from an America-centric POV. Hopefully some other countries will weigh in.

Rinsing would just be running water on them without any soap.

I use the term "hand-washing dishes".

All the other replies sound very American, it's "doing the washing up" or just "washing up"
