My sample of Cascade Platinum couldn't have come at a better time -- last week the hose to our kitchen faucet broke and since then we've been without water in the sink. Without a usable kitchen sink, we haven't been able to pre-rinse our dishes before we put them into the dishwasher. Normally, with our regular dishwasher detergent, pre-rinsing the dishes is a must as they don't get fully clean -- especially caked on pieces of food -- in the dishwasher. I figured since I was going to review Cascade Platinum anyway, I might as well put it to the ultimate test with dishes that haven't been rinsed.
The results were surprising. All the dishes and glassware came out sparkling clean! I threw in a baking sheet and a few other kitchen items that I usually wash by hand and they still had a few traces of food left on them, but in defense of Cascade Platinum, these are items I usually have to scrub and rarely go in the dishwasher.
Cascade Platinum pacs deliver a variety of dish care benefits:
- Powers away tough, 24 hour stuck-on food
- Eliminates the need to pre-wash dishes
- Helps maintain the look of new machines and helps prevent additional hard-water build-up
- Delivers exceptional dishware shine
Cascade Platinum really lives up to its claims by leaving utensils and dishware virtually spot-free while keeping the inside of the dishwasher free from build-up. We will definitely purchase Cascade Platinum in the future as our current dishwasher pacs don't come close to #MyPlatinum.
Gail Simmons Partners with Cascade
Do you love Top Chef? I do! One of the longtime judges on Top Chef is Gail Simmons, editor of Food + Wine Magazine. Gail has partnered with Cascade to discuss why presentation is just as important as preparation. If, like me, you love looking at foodie pics on Pinterest and Instagram, then you know exactly how important presentation is!
Gail recommends impressing with a Platinum presentation:
"The easiest recipes pop with unexpected, gourmet presentations. Drizzle bright sauces on sparkling white plates or layer desserts in crystal-clean glassware. Keep your presentation sparkling with Cascade Platinum, which keeps dishes perfect for anytime you’re entertaining impromptu guests."
