The only thing worse than slaving over the stove at this time of year? Washing up the mountain of マリファナs and pans afterwards.

And while the dishwasher can take care of day-to-day plates, most seem unable to 取り組む the dirtiest dishes, so we 結局最後にはーなる handwashing or soaking them.

Now Sainsbury’s has 開始する，打ち上げるd a new dishwasher tablet called Prism which it （人命などを）奪う，主張するs can 取り組む even the toughest of stains without soaking first. But does it live up to the hype?

With the help of scientist Julius Hamm, writer Sadie Nicholas put ten brands to the 実験（する） to see how they 成し遂げるd on the same six hard-to-（警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 stains ― lasagne, 緊急発進するd egg, sausage fat, tea, red ワイン and lipstick. Nothing was soaked or rinsed first and everything went through a one-hour, 50-degree cycle.

Julius explains: ‘除去するing the stains in this 実験（する） is a difficult 仕事. There are two types of enzymes that are 決定的な 構成要素s of dishwasher detergents as they help to break 負かす／撃墜する the food 分子s.

‘The first are proteases, which 取り組む proteins 含むing meat, milk, egg yolks and cheese. The second are amylases which break 負かす／撃墜する carbohydrates. Enzymes start to 行為／法令／行動する すぐに and help to 除去する encrusted sta ins, in theory 減ずるing the need to soak 夜通し.’

Get the 権利 balance of enzymes ― and other 必須の 化学製品 成分s ― and you’ll have a tablet that can 取り組む any stain. So, which have the sparkle factor?

FAIRY PLATINUM ORIGINAL

£12 for a pack of 27

The （人命などを）奪う，主張する: ‘First time きれいにする 活動／戦闘; our best for 堅い challenges and greasy filter.’

JULIUS SAYS: Egg is tricky 予定 to the fact that it 乾燥した，日照りのs very quickly and tends to be encrusted on any dish used. ーするために 効果的に 除去する it, the main 必要物／必要条件 is that the dishwasher tablet needs to 含む／封じ込める 適する 量s of proteases (the enzymes 極度の慎重さを要する to proteins) ― this tablet 明白に doesn’t.

SADIE’S VERDICT: Disappointing smears on everything, やめる a lot of egg left on the bowl and lasagne on two corners of the white dish, but no trace of sausage fat, lipstick, ワイン or tea stains. I 推定する／予想するd more from the most expensive tablet out of the ten. 2/5

FINISH POWERBALL QUANTUM MAX

£8 for a pack of 27

The （人命などを）奪う，主張する: ‘Our best clean and 向こうずね.’

JULIUS SAYS: The fact that the dishes weren’t smeared with food, but weren’t clean either, s uggests this tablet needs a higher 割合 of 成分s called 建設業者s ― carbonates, silicates and citrates. Their main 機能（する）／行事 is controlling water hardness, as water that is too hard can leave dishes and glasses looking dull. They also help to 除去する oil and grease, and 堅い stains such as burnt milk.

SADIE’S VERDICT: Given the price, I had high hopes for gleaming dishes, but was disappointed. Although there were very few smears, the dishes 欠如（する）d lustre. The ワイン glass and 襲う，襲って強奪する were clean but there was a 位置／汚点／見つけ出す of brown fat on the enamel tray, dregs of lasagne on the dish and やめる a lot of egg. 3/5

ESSENTIAL WAITROSE ALL-IN-ONE LEMON

£5 for a pack of 45

The （人命などを）奪う，主張する: Sparkling finish. 削減（する）s through grease.

JULIUS SAYS: A seemingly brilliant 製品 which appears to have a more powerful 公式化 than many of the other tablets. To get results this good its 化学製品 balance must have been 井戸／弁護士席-designed.

SADIE’S VERDICT: They might be part of Waitrose’s 予算 範囲 but the results were prett y impressive. There was only a tiny 量 of lasagne left in one corner of the white dish and a faint line of 緊急発進するd egg. Everything else was streak-解放する／自由な and sparkling. 4/5

SIMPLY M&S CLASSIC DISHWASHER TABLETS

£2.50 for a pack of 30

The （人命などを）奪う，主張する: Powerful きれいにする and stain 除去.

JULIUS SAYS: To get brilliant results on these types of stains and to 避ける pre-soaking or rinsing, detergent is very important. For really 堅い stains like egg and pasta it’s best to select a higher dishwasher 気温 of 55-60c for 追加するd きれいにする 力／強力にする.

SADIE’S VERDICT: M&S doesn’t make any bold （人命などを）奪う，主張するs. To be fair, it 明言する／公表するs 明確に on the box that 消費者s should ‘除去する food 捨てるs and rinse ひどく 国／地域d items before 負担ing the dishwasher’. I 自白する that I didn’t, and I paid the price. There was baked-on lasagne on the base of the ceramic dish and a faint sausage fat 影をつくる／尾行する, but only a small 量 of egg on the glass bowl, and the ワイン glass and cup were sparkling. 3 /5

SAINSBURY’S PRISM

SADIE’S VERDICT: The gleam on all five items was the sort you’d find on crockery and glassware in a fancy restaurant. The tea cup, enamel sausage tin and ワイン glass were spotless. But there was a tiny 量 of egg on one 味方する of the glass bowl and a trace of lasagne in the dish. 4/5
