Ever since Cascade discontinued their "Fryer Boil Out" product — which was just scentless dishwasher powder with the necessary sodium tripolyphosphate that makes dish detergents actually work — it's necessary to mix your own. You can buy dish powder and the sodium tripolyphosphate separately, in fact the additive is safe and here on Amazon, but Cascade NO LONGER OFFERS A SCENTLESS PRODUCT.This means your dishes, pots, and pans are all going to smell like perfume when they come out. It can take dozens of rinses to make plates and tableware clean and clear again, so that the perfume doesn't affect your cuisine. It will stick forever to plastics like small cutting boards, Tupperwares, and plastic utensils.It's not that the perfume is offensive, and in fact it smells nice when you open the dishwasher. It's that the perfume changes the flavor of everything it touches. Perfume should not be used in the kitchen at all.
