Do the handles get soft and leave black smudges on your hands or other dishes if put in the dishwasher? My oxo good grips utensils do this, so I am re

I don't put mine in the dishwasher and have had no problems. If it was all stainless steel it would be okay to use the dishwasher, but then, stainless steel feet can make marks in a sink and the handles might get hot and hard to handle. Hope this helps.

"IF" you want to buy another oxo product, I thought I'd elaborate on my opinions of them. I keep soapy water in my sink before I start a meal prep, so, for instance, after using the colander, I pop it into the soapy water and there's not much to clean up after meals are eaten.I think that speeds up the cleaning and just as easy as putting it in the dishwasher. Hope this suggestion is something to consider.

I haven't had any scratching as of yet and I stack mine, but I would not use a dishwasher as in my experience if the water sets in the folds of the pan it will eventually rust. They all will in my opinion. Hand washing takes very little time. I hand wash all my sharp knives as well.

Can't answer the stainless question - sorry! But I never put wood-handled utensils in the dishwasher; the wood soaks up the water eventually. Shortens the life of the utensil greatly.

This info is for anyone else who might read this question. If you wash the aluminum (shiny) handle in the dishwasher it will never be shiny again. So if you bought them to display wash them by hand and use bar keepers friend cleaner to keep them bright. The aluminum handle oxidizes from the dishwasher powder chemicals. It can leave a grey residue on your hands and transfer to the foods you handle with that hand. The oxidization can be removed with bar keepers friend cleaner. The blades are not affected. I have the aluminum handle knives that are 26 years old the handles are ugly from the dishwasher but the blades are fine. I am currently switching to black handles.

I've been using mine daily for about 3 months now and the handles don't get dirty. I've spilled some stuff on them and was able to wipe it clean without issue.

I almost always put them in the dishwasher. Especially if I use them to cut meat, garlic, or onions. Works great.

We have a few knives that are of a forged style of production and we have no problem putting them in the dishwasher, in that they do not have rust appearing on the base of the blade. It's like there's something in the handle tang or something in the material of the handle that produces rust. We just don't appreciate not being able to clean the Wusthofs in the dishwasher like we can the forged knives. The knives work good, holds an edge thru several uses. Still need to keep the edge up with the steel though. Don't think there's a knife that you don't have to keep up with the edge.

Nope. Stays in nicely, however, dishwashing them has caused some scratches. Hand washing is better & i wish i had headed that warning! Still nice, just scratched up.

I have not noticed this on my set. . .But, I wash mine in the dishwasher all the time.

I've owned a set in orange for 10 months. I started putting them in the dishwasher about 3 months ago with no damage noted. I will say the orange shows stains that will not come off.the main reason I got lazy and started using the d/w. Otherwise the non stick is great.

We clean our bamboo utensils by hand-washing only along with other delicate dishes. We did use sandpaper to smooth out a small splinter on one of the handles without issue. I'm not sure about the mold but if it were me, I'd go ahead and try the sandpaper before throwing them away or maybe soaking them in some mold remover (or both); you've got nothing to lose, right?

These dishes hold up very well in the dishwasher. We use our set for daily dining, and all dishes go straight in the dishwasher! Just a tip from my experience: avoid citrus or lemon-infused dishwasher detergents. I've always found out these leave (removable) dark spots on the gold bands. Other than that, load them in the dishwasher as often as you'd like!

I don't wash mine in the dishwasher, but just under running water in the sink. Water gets into the handles and is a nuisance because then the next time I use the press it drips water from the handles. Therefore I try to shake the water out of the handles as much as I can before I put it away.

In my experience, these are tough, but I use silicone or wood utencils usually - if metal, then careful not to scratch. The outside finish will definitely wear off and the handles lighten if washed in the dishwasher. These will last much longer if hand washed and they're so easy to clean that there's really no reason not to wash by hand.

I put the big ones in the top rack of my dishwasher all the time and have not had a single problem. The color stays, they get clean, and they stay sharp. I have also put the yellow and green ones in the bottom rack where the silverware goes and still haven't had an issue.
