Has anyone who bought this pot recently had problems with the dishwasher? I put it in the dishwasher - rivets came out in bad shape.

I don't put mine in the dishwasher, but the rivets are bare aluminum and susceptible to corrosion from the very caustic dishwashing detergent. They can be cleaned up and polished with a Brillo Pad.

When you say "bad shape" I assume you mean kind of milky looking? Something tells me the rivets are not stainless or at least the same grade and they probably are affected by the detergent or rinse agent. We've never washed ours in the dish washer so I don't know for sure.

I didn't have a problem with the dishwasher and rivets because I don't wash pots in the dishwasher. I did have problems with the rivets with hand washing. I contacted Cuisinart and after a million emails and numerous pictures, they sent a replacement pot. The new pot and rivets have been fine.

Dishwashing destroyed the inside bottom of my pot -- it now has permanent milky white looking stains.

My ceramic pot has the same small cracks and they don"t seem to affect the way it cooks. Try using a small amount of bleach and water mix on the stains.

Ours also suffered erosion of the finish after just a couple of years. I'm pretty sure it went through the dishwasher a few times, but not any more. No way to know if that was the cause. We are considering replacing it and I would not DW it again.

Sorry but I never put it in the dishwasher. I don't see a problem though. I love mine and use it all the time.

Yes,however I never put any pot in the dishwasher. I am really enjoying this pot. It's good for soups, chili, spaghetti, anyway it's great.

Yes, I've been putting it into the dishwasher~~~the basket changed color a bit, but that doesn't affect anything. I really enjoy my cooker!

Then you should return it. When rivets are installed on anything, they should be tight and there is no way of tightening them unless you drill them out and install new ones. With this being cookware, it is in your best interest to return it and request for a replacement. I bought this for my neighbor and have not had this problem.

I just want to "ditto" on the hand wash only. I had a beautiful shiny silver pan that was washed in the dishwasher at work. Now it is so ugly - blacked and whatnot. I just popped out here to buy a new one. And I will make sure to NEVER leave it at work after a potluck again.

I washed one of mine and it discolored the outside of the pot so I no longer put them in the dishwasher, not to say it isn't my dishwasher.

I have not had any problems with mine. I clean it every once in a while with light dish soap, but that is all!

I don't know. I have never washed my Calphalon in the dishwasher. Just a suggestion, you might try emailing Calphalon.

I never put in dishwasher. I had this really lovely carafe for only two weeks and the inside exploded after putting coffee in and sealed top. I did get refund and bought different model....but it the best looking carafe I ever owned. Maybe I just received a defect.

No, mine looks great, almost like new even after a lot of use. I have quite of few stainless steel pots and pan and nothing like what you are describing has ever happened. In my never to be humble opinion it is not common.

As mentioned in an earlier answer it is not dishwasher safe and use in a dishwasher will void the warranty.BUT -- there should be no need to pt it in the dishwasher. It cleans up with a rinse and a towel dry. Sometimes something sticks to the rivets but that comes off with a little sponge work.

We did not experience that issue with our cooker. However, we threw ours out after the handle broke off while transferring the cooker from the cooktop to the work surface. We think it is poorly made so not surprised to hear of your problem with it.

When i put mine in the dishwasher it came out a bit deformed. it seems that parts of it melted or shrunk from the heat.

I do wash mine in the dishwasher about 75% of the time. They still look and preform great. We do have very good treated water in our home it may make a difference. You will not be sorry with these pots and pans.
