“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Cascade. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.”
Are you satisfied with your current dishwasher detergent? I thought I was! Then I tried Cascade Platinum and realized my regular dishwashing product was falling short!
For years I went without a dishwasher, so when I finally installed a brand new machine a few months back I was relieved. Yet, I still found myself in front of the kitchen sink pre-rinsing every dish clean before loading it into the dishwasher. I assumed pre-rinsing was an essential step to getting caked on foods like egg yolks, cheese, sauce, and other sticky gunk off the plates in order to get my dishes coming out of the dishwasher sparkling clean. WRONG! All the extra rinsing really isn’t necessary to get streak free clean dishes if you use an effective detergent like Cascade Platinum! In fact, you are only wasting energy, time, and tons of water by doing the pre-cleaning. Place the dirty dishes in the dishwasher, pop in a Cascade Platinum Pac, and let the dishwasher do its job!
What I like about the Cascade Platinum Pacs is they eliminate the need of the messy measuring out of detergent! Each individual Pac features just the right amount of an advanced triple action recipe that is formulated to leave dishes looking spot-free that dually helps prevent the build-up of hard-water film on the dishwasher’s interior as well. But what I LOVE most about the colorful, great smelling, Lemon Burst scent Pacs is they are filled with a powerful detergent containing the grease fighting power of Dawn, eliminating the need to pre-wash dishes! YEAH! The company claims the detergent is strong enough to scrub away tough 24 hour stuck-on food. I confess, I haven’t tested that assertion out yet, since I always wash my dishes right after dinner is finished. Nevertheless, I have stopped wasting my time double-washing the dishes and only scrape off the excessive food before loading the plates in the dishwasher. The dishes, glasses, and utensils come out glistening clean! If I would have attempted that with my regular detergent I would have had to wash the dishes again and again to get them spotless. I will be permanently replacing me usual detergent with Cascade Platinum!
Nothing is worse than creating a delicious meal only to have it ruined by dull, dirty looking dishware! If you care about presentation as much as Gail Simmons and I do give Cascade Platinum a try and let your sparkling dishes make your food masterpiece look even more scrumptious!

Gail Simmons, top Chef Judge and editor of Food+Wine magazine, and Cascade have collaborated to discuss why presentation is just as important as preparation.
- From prep to plating: It’s more than just a great-tasting recipe, but also perfect presentation. Sparkling dishes, shining flat ware and spot-free glasses truly let you put your best food forward with culinary creations that pop!

I, too, keep thinking I need to pre-rinse everything! Would love to just throw in a pre-measured soap with dirty dishes and walk away–come back to clean pans and sparkling dishes. I’ll have to try it–thanks.
I’ve used liquid Cascade for years now and love the results. I’d like to try the Pacs for a change.
I’ve always used Cascade. I can usually find it at a decent price and it works better than other brands I’ve tried so far. I haven’t tried their Platinum brand yet though. Thanks 🙂
