One of the things on her list was...
HOW TO WASH THE DISHES (this is her list verbatim)
- Take Off Your Tiara: You don't want it falling into the dishwasher
- Don't Wash by Hand: It is more expensive to wash dishes by hand than to properly run them in a dishwasher.
- Run Tap Water First: For sparkling clean dishes, run the hot water tap before starting the dishwasher to make sure the water entering the machine has reached its highest temperature.
- Scrape, Don't Rinse: Scrape the dishes, because the enzymes in your detergent that soften burnt-on food need to cling to protein/starch, such as egg and oatmeal, in order to work properly
- Load Properly: Cups, glasses and less soiled items should be placed on the top rack. Generally, larger and dirtier items are best on the bottom rack.
- Select the Right Detergent: Use FINISH Quantum - because it's premeasured, wrapper free AND it's got a Powerball with Jet-Dry Gel for an amazing shine, Powermax Bleach to remove stains like tea and coffee and Powerful Enzymes to soften burnt-on food like lasana.
- Avoid Wet Dishes: Use JET-DRY TURBO DRY so that the dishes come out dry.
- Put Your Tiara Back On
Finish Quantum is giving away a prize to 2 LUCKY Champagne Living Readers...
UPDATE - I JUST HEARD FROM THE SPONSOR OF THIS GIVEAWAY AND THEY WANT TO DOUBLE THE PRIZES! I think is was the Tiara that did it...LOL. Sooooo.....

The one thing that seems to be trouble for me is peanut butter on my butter knives, my kids make sandwiches and then put the dirty knife in my dishwasher and after the dishwasher has ran, I go to empty it & I always have to re-wash the knives because they are caked all over with crusty peanut butter and I tell them to please rinse them off good, but so far they havent listened to me, Thanks for hosting this wonderful giveaway

Oatmeal is hard to get cleaned off. For some odd reason when I run a load of dishes it never is cleaned out of my bowl.

When I make lasagne, it's hard to get the remaining little bit off the baking pan

I agree with most of the posters--oatmeal and lasagna are pretty well tied for difficulty to get off of dishes, but I would pick oatmeal for the worst.

Baked on food, like the milk that rims the casserole dish I've baked scalloped potatoes in (it needs soaking first)
The worst for me is oatmeal. Even a bowl that is rinsed has little bits that get missed then dry harder than cement.

Dried hot cereal is tough, like cream of wheat. I let it soak forever and it still doesn't come off.
I find rice is impossible. It gets on everything else too.

I just bought my first package of these the other day and they work great. Peanut butter is the hardest thing I face - my hubby and son both eat a lot of it and for SOME reason they never wipe off the knife or spoon and just toss it in the sink for me to deal with.
Eggs are the WORST!

melted cheese for sure.
I shake that can of grated cheese on spaghetti to the point that it looks like snow. Love my cheese. But, it is even hard to scrape off once it mixes with the hot mixture. Tough in the dishwasher too. Always have to pre-clean.

txblubelle@aol.com
Fried onions with mushroom sauce can be very challenging to remove if you get distracted when cooking. But that's why I use "Finish." It doesn't get intimidated. It does the job from "start to Finish!"
It sounds bad, but dried dogfood is really hard to get off -- especially after a couple of days. Jean
Anything baked on the dish. Lasagna, casseroles, whatever, especially if it had cheese in it.
Any type of Italian usually is the toughest - especially lasagna!

Pretty much anything that's spent hours clinging to the sides of a caserole dish baking in the oven, remaining baked on the side while the dish (with leftovers) is put in the refrigerator and then periodically rotated back and forth from the microwave to the refrigerator until finally ready for the 'Quantum' challenge! ;)
