I purchased these a month ago, and the bottoms say hand wash only. Are mine different or is the website description here inaccurate?

Mine say 'hand wash only' as well. I love them, so I hand washed just in case.

Mine say hand wash only also. I would not recommend dishwasher for this item. It is pretty chip resistent but I would not take the chance.

I've been putting mine in the dishwasher. The only place they will fit is the bottom rack. So far, no issues, other than they don't lie completely flat anymore, which isn't a huge issue to me. I just feel like they get cleaned much more thoroughly in the dishwasher than by hand washing.

yes I wash them by hand with hot water and Dawn.My friend who has the same machine washes hers in the washing machine with no problem

They say hand wash only, and I'm guessing that's best. They're 100% polyester and have pretty cheap (though cute!) details on them that probably wouldn't survive in the washing machine. Definitely no dryer -- they'd melt!

I always hand wash. I feel they would spot if left in dishwasher. Hope this helps.

I only hand wash mine. To get a better / more authoritative perspective I would call Frieling - the distributor at 800.827.2582 and ask the question.

I don't remember what the instructions recommended, but I always wash these by hand. Sorry to not be more helpful than that :-/

I bought mine from Pampered Chef in December 2014, and the printed instructions say "Hand wash only; rinse and towel dry immediately."

I purchased mine in September of 2015 and mine has different directions than earlier models. Mine says hand wash only.

Can't honestly say... we have always hand washed them. But I will say they wash up VERY quickly!

I am not sure I have only hand washed them to make sure they are clean and air dried them.

I'm not allowed in the kitchen for much, but my wife says she washes them by hand, and the only problem is that the outside bottom stains easily. The food that comes out of them here is always great! Hope this helped some.

Some items in this line specifically say they are dishwasher safe. I have found info on this item on other sites that say it is hand wash only.

I bought mine (six) in 2011. Hand wash them all. Look brand new. You just have to carefully screw the tops on, otherwise they will leak (common sense).

We hand wash them because they don't fit well in the Dishwasher. We use them for water, so washing is not critical. We love them!!
