Cascade Party #2 has come and gone and now I finally have a chance to sit and write about it. There's something kind of awesome about throwing a party where everyone is excited to clean up after themselves!
For this party, I made some delicious french toast, courtesy of The Food Network and Alton Brown (love him!) and to be honest? My kitchen was a disaster area. While I was cooking, I gave everyone some orange juice in fancy glasses - that's right, we broke out the stemware for this one.
Now the french toast was simple to make, but left a pie pan, mixing bowl, saute pan, and cookie sheet dirty. Plus the plates - of course everyone wanted syrup on their french toast but it leaves such a sticky mess on plates!
That was ok though, because we had Cascade Platinum Power Pacs on our side. After everyone was finished eating, I showed them how to load a dishwasher for maximum results.
- Stemware on top, between tines (instead of over them) to reduce wet contact points
- No pre-washing. Leave the gunk on the plates and let it go
- Extra soiled items should go near the sprayers
You can check out Cascade for yourself here. You can also find them on Twitter and Facebook!

Of course, I had some objections to skipping the pre-wash but I told them to just wait and see. While the dishwasher was running, we talked about the rules of dishwasher dish washing:
Skip the pre-wash, people! Ah,the joys of cleaning dishes!We all have them and we all want themimmaculately clean, quickly and easily ,so we invest valuable time pre-washing each dish beforeloading it in the dishwasher, right? WRONG! Pre-washing actually hinders our chances of
achieving immaculately clean dishes!
It’s true! Cascade Platinum is specifically designed to work best when food is left ON dishes. Why?because the enzymes in Cascade Platinum are designed to attach themselves to food particles breaking them down so that they can be easily washed away - even 24-hour stuck-on food! No food means the enzymes have nothing to latch onto.
Just see how clean our stemware came out of the dishwasher; no water spots!
