Depends how dirty

I hate our stainless because they are so hard to hand wash. What's your secret?

Altra lone peak. Best shoes I've ever put on

Cast iron and most raw metals that require seasoning. Stainless tends to discolor as does untreated/raw aluminum. If you do put dishwasher safe stainless, make sure it doesn’t contact anything. Anything with a coating will do okay but its life expectancy will inevitably be shortened such as that of Teflon coated pans. I hear applying a light coat of oil after drying is recommended for this. Wood is a big no no. Plastics also will lose elasticity over time with regular use in the dishwasher. You may want to download the user manual for your dishwasher as it may provide proper loading of utensils and such. Hope that helps.

I put plastic lids in the top rack and have not had any kind of problem with them.

Same. Have for years.

I mean, they won’t explode. But washing them in the dishwasher reduces the effectiveness of the Teflon coating way faster and they’ll start to stick.

Plus many non-stick pans are aluminium underneath which is decidedly not dishwasher safe - if you get a small scratch in the pan that exposes the aluminium a dishwasher can quickly cause the coating around it to start peeling off. I don’t really want to eat that.

Even if they are marketed as dishwasher safe (which these days most aren’t), most manufacturers will recommend against using dishwasher with them too often, and will recommend specific “gentle” detergent.

I’ve come to the realisation (having destroyed a couple of expensive non stick Scanpans) that Teflon is not bifl. I treat it as consumable so I’ll use something else (eg stainless) where possible and break out the non-stick when necessary, and hand wash it.

I've always put my non-stick skillets in the d.w. and it doesn't seem to bother them at all.

It makes them dull if they rub against other utensils, is that what you mean?

I put my wooden cooking spoons in the d.w., have done for years. No bad effects yet. Also my knives, handle sides down. They're not expensive knives but they been unaffected by being in the d.w. for at least a few decades. I'm the only one who loads and unloads the dishwasher. I take the whole utensil rack out of the dishwasher to unload it.

Got the same one. On the third set of blades.

Then you should switch detergent or get a better dishwasher.

I disagree. I put my nonstick skillets in the dishwasher routinely and they are fine.

No. Todays dishwashers dont get as hot as back in the day. Today your lucky if the dishes are even dry.

The taste of detergent just doesn’t seem To come out of plastic. 🤮

*looks shifty*

Yeah I got banned from putting the meat grinder parts in the dishwasher xD

Anything Teflon. Despite claims to the contrary dishwashers will destroy Teflon pans in short order.

As an inherently lazy man this has been the main impetus for me to switch to stainless steel.

I keep a cheap Teflon pan around (mainly for eggs), but most stuff gets cooked in stainless these days.

So is it the heat that messes up the sharpness?

A plug, bar, and chain was $150? Seems expensive. I bought two bars and three chains for my mcculloch for $45.

Yes, this. And anything with anodized aluminum, especially if you use the extra strength detergent pods. Learned the hard way.

If your knives dont coste more than 50$, id still use the dishwasher. Buy a cheap sharpener and they will still last for years.(if no wooden handles) Those realy expensive ones and especially the high carbon japanese ones should not go into dishwasher

No crystal stemware. I’m old so have a set from my wedding 40 yrs ago that still looks like new as always hand washed and barely used. Why was fancy china and crystal such a big deal lol
