When it comes to dirty dishes my family of 5 knows how to make them! Of course the cleaning part is the part we all wish to avoid but now with Cascade Platinum we don’t have to worry about a pre-wash since we can just pop dirty dishes in the dishwasher and let Cascade Platinum do it’s thing! I recently held an in home party to show off the power of Cascade Platinum and my guest were floored at how powerful it was!
I was able to host a second Cascade Platinum home party to show off the awesome power of the new product. I started off by baking some SUPER yummy french toast and brownies. Of course we all know how messy and sticky french toast can be, but oh boy is it good! Grab the recipe for french toast below!
French Toast (courtesy of The Food Network and Alton Brown)
Ingredients:
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons honey, warmed in microwave for 20 seconds
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 8 (1/2-inch) slices day-old or stale country loaf, brioche or challah bread
- 4 tablespoons butter
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. For the French Toast, in a medium size mixing bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, honey and salt. When ready to cook, pour custard mixture into a pie pan. Dip bread into mixture, allowing it to soak for 30 seconds on each side. Then remove to a cooling rack that is sitting in a sheet pan, and allow to sit for 1 to 2 minutes. Over medium-low heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a 10-inch nonstick saute pan. Place 2 slices of bread at a time into the pan and cook until golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from pan and place on rack in oven for 5 minutes. Repeat with all 8 slices. Serve immediately with maple syrup, whipped cream or fruit.
The french toast definitely left quite a mess to be cleaned up. Luckily I can skip the pre-washing with Cascade Platinum and just plop my dishes in the dish washer!What’s interesting is that a new survey from Cascade Platinum and Marie Claire reveals that nearly all people are doing their dishes incorrectly with 96-percent wasting up to an hour pre-washing their dishes each week – when they shouldn’t. In order to get the most optimum clean and shine, it’s important to skip the prewash and use Cascade Platinum. This is because the special enzymes in Cascade Platinum latch onto the leftover food particles, breaking them down so they can wash away – even 24-hour stuck on food. With no food particles on the dishes, the enzymes can’t do their job as well and this can lead to dish issues.
After showing my party goers the end result/mess of my cooking and then the same dishes after using the Cascade Platinum we were all shocked to see how perfectly clean everything was! As a busy mom I’m always thankful for anything that takes a few home chores off my hands. Knowing that I can now skip pre-washing my dishes is great! Everyone seemed to have a great time trying the french toast and learning about Cascade as well as taking home some awesome samples.
Tips for a successful clean every time:
- Stack your dishes high and low but please be sure that bulky items DO NOT block the sprayer.
- Place tall dishes and pans in the back of the bottom rack so they DO NOT block the detergent chamber.
- Place glasses and other fragile items in the top rack. This helps keep them from the powerful sprayer under the bottom rack.
- Set glasses between tines on the rack NOT over them as wet contact points can cause spots.
- Thread any long utensils through coffee-mug handles to help keep them secure in the wash.
- Check to ensure that there aren’t any stray utensils that will block the nozzle or sprayer.
- And a special call out for any big dishes: load them on the bottom rack, face down so the water is sure to reach all the nooks and crannies.
How would you spend the time you normally use pre-washing if you didn’t have to pre-wash!?
