A couple of people have said these rust after one wash. Are they OK if you hand wash them?

They are okay. I bought them for my August 30th wedding, and I personally washed them, and dried them and stored them back in their original box. No, I would never bake a casserole in them or something, I will only use it for cakes, and be sure not to use abrasives on them. I line mine with wax paper maybe a light greasing half way up the sides. Nancy

I have washed mine both ways and every one of them are still going strong. No rust anywhere on any of mine:)

I have not had the experience of them rusting, however, I only hand wash and dry immediately after.

Aluminum cannot rust; rust is the oxidation of iron. Any discoloration had to have come from whatever was baked in the pan.

Mine did the same thing. Rusted on first washing in dishwasher. I put all kinds of stainless items in the dishwasher every day, no issues, just with these. Hell, my dishwasher door is stainless steel!!

I put them in my dishwasher twice (top rack and then in the holder for the silverware) and they got warped so I wouldn't. It's much easier to hand wash, soak them if you need to but I wouldn't recommend the dishwasher.

I honestly don't know. But they will rust a very little if you leave them to soak for a few hours before washing. I need to wash and dry them after using.

No signs of rust! Use these all of the time and wash them in the dish washer

YES, they rust. I have had them for 8 months now. They started to rust around month 6.

No. I run them in the dishwasher all the time. They are stainless steel and do not rust.

Yes but I just started noticing a very little bit of rust after using them for nearly a year. But the rust could be wiped off (wiped kind of vigorously!) But we do use them everyday and my son and husband leave them in the sink (wet) and when they finally make it into the dishwasher, we only run it every 3rd or so day so they are also somewhat damp in there (before washing). I'd buy them again but now I wipe them when they come out of the dishwasher. And the "rust" is just a bit and just around the top end of the black part (right next to the steel). It comes off.

I've washed them with dish soap and haven't had an issue. I have not tried them in the dishwasher.

I run mine through the dishwasher and have no problems. Haven't seen any rust spot yet either. I haven't tried hand washing but I bet it would be that difficult.

No they will not rust by hand washing but towel drying right after is just as important. Any mild dish soap is fine to use.

I've only hand-washed mine. Like you, I am fearful of breakage in a dishwasher and because the base is heavy they will likely tip over and not dry properly. If your dishwasher allows you to support them well, I'd expect they'll be fine, but you will likely shorten their usable life.

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

No. Have had mine for a few months and have not seen any rust. Normal hand wash and air dry in a rack.

Have run these through countless washes, and never had any issues with rust. Hope this helps :)

I have washed mine by hand so far. They come clean so easily I haven't felt the need to put them in the dishwasher!
