I don't have a dishwasher, is this difficult to wash by hand, I am concerned about being cut?

Even though I have a dishwasher I often wash the set by hand. It's no more dangerous than any other grater/cutter.. I have never cut myself washing it (although I did julienne my finger when cutting a carrot one time - my fault). Just be sure to make all your washing strokes in the opposite direction from the one you would use when cutting and you should be fine.

I don't have a dishwasher either. I have never sut myself. I hold it by the plastic and rub a stainless steel sponge against it. You have to be as careful with this as with any other sharp item.

I do hand wash these myself. As long as you wipe away from the sharp edges, you should have no problems. I use this method for my knives.

While I have not washed it by hand, it's design would certainly make it easier to wash than most other shredders. It is a very good product.

This is as safe to wash by hand as other graters, though you should be careful just as you would be careful when washing knives or any other sharp object.

I've washed it on the top shelf and had no problems. However, the reason you shouldn't wash good cutting knives in the dishwasher also applies here. If while washing something smacks the cup or rubs up against it, the cup could get dented or scratched. So, when I put it in the dishwasher I'm careful to keep it away from anything hard or heavy -- don't tell anyone but, if I'm rushed I will also wash my good kitchen knives in the dishwasher; I take similar precautions with them.

Not really sure but we always wash it by hand anyway. It may be too light for the dishwasher.

I have only hand washed it simply because it's large and my dishwasher is relatively small. I see no reason why you couldn't put it in the dishwasher though. It's a beautiful piece. Very versatile & I love to use it. I'm so sorry to hear of your losses. My good thoughts & prayers go out to you.

Nope, by hand. For such a great investment, it's worth the extra few minutes to hand wash.....

I don't have a dishwasher, but still wouldn't trust it to clean the device. I've had no problems using hot soapy water and a toothbrush saved just for this purpose.

I don't have a dishwasher. I don't see why it wouldn't be safe in a dishwasher though.

I actually wash mine by hand. Just be careful. It's a great slicer. Especially with kids.

They recommend hand washing. My initial cleaning was in the dish washer. I mostly rinse under hot water and depending on what I cut a bit of dish soap.

I honestly have not even thought of that. It is just so easy and quick to clean by hand, that it never occurred to me to try the dishwasher. I have a dish brush that gets into all the threads and (almost nonexistent ) grooves, so it's super fast clean up. Sorry!

I hand wash mine and haven't put it in the dishwasher. That's just my choice.

I hand wash mine as I would be concerned about its size for the dishwasher. It is an easy enough item to quickly clean in the sink and then put away to get it out of my way. I'm wary of exposing it to the temps in the dishwasher, too.

Absolutely. Gave it as a gift to my dad and he uses his. I believe it may not be dishwasher safe, though, so a quick hand-wash would be neccesary.

We don't have a dishwasher so no help with your question, but can't see how washing in a dishwasher would hurt it.

No it won't hurt it surface . We cut on it all the time. A tip for cleaning. I use an Sos and wash immediately after dinner. Dishwasher doesn't work. Also dry thoroughly or it rusts. Enjoy.

I don't have a dishwasher, however I would assume so. Not much help, I know. Sorry!

I hand wash mine (no dish washer). I also use the nonabrasive scrubber and have had no problems.You may have received a flawed product and should contact the company.
