The focus of this post is to highlight a campaign I participated in 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. Nevertheless, all thoughts contained in the post are my own. I keep a proper disclosure statement available here.
I have a long list of chores that are, well, chores. They are daily necessities and they do get done, but not always quickly and not always happily. Fortunately I have minions children to help with this task, but I still find myself surrounded by dishes much of the time. What this means is that we’re usually in a hurry to just get the dishwasher loaded. We don’t always *cough* do the best rinse job that we should. I frequently use dishwasher gel pacs, but even the regular ones of those don’t always do what I’m hoping they will do – wash the dishes all by themselves. I find myself having to wash glasses again and frequently I’m running a wash cycle on the dishwasher itself because it gets nasty too.
This said, when I received the Cascade Platinum Pacs, I was hopeful, but had my doubts. These things usually never do exactly what they say they are going to do, right? Here’s a sneak peek of how my family loads a dishwasher. Please don’t judge…
But! I wasn’t worried this time because I’ve been using these Cascade Platinum Pacs for the last week (averaging 2 loads/day) and I’ve been seriously surprised by how well they take care of this mess. Case in point:
Impressive. Even my dishwasher looks better than it usually does inside. I’m not sure what’s going on inside those Platinum Pacs, but I’ll take it. Now then, if the dishes would just load and unload themselves, we’d be in business!
Cascade Platinum has recently entered into a partnership with Gail Simmons from BRAVO’s Top Chef and she says, “Now, more than ever, people eat with their eyes, and the evidence is all over sites like Facebook and Instagram. With that in mind, [I have] partnered with Cascade to discuss why presentation is just as important as preparation.”
Here are a couple of her tips and a video:
- 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!
- 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 entertaining and impromptu guests.”
Learn more about Cascade’s partnership with Gail Simmons by viewing videos available on the Cascade Facebook page and the Cascade YouTube page.
