I need some clarification... May the inner pot be removed for washing?

Yes, the pot gets taken out and put in the dishwasher, it is stainless steel, much easier than trying to clean the built in pot kind of rice cooker. You can also cook without the inner pot by just putting water in it and a rack in the water for steaming

NO...But there hasn't been any need to separate the inner pot. This is our third Roto fryer over the past 20 years. We love them!

No, I say that because they never recommend you put these pots in a dishwasher. Honestly, this thing cleans up so easily with hot water and soap there is no need to put it in your dishwasher. Besides it would take about half the room in a lower shelf if you did. Main reason for not putting it in the dishwasher, the heat dry can shorten the life of the non-stick finish on the inside of the pot.I'm a die hard dishwasher fan, but not for my pots. I wish everything was as easy to clean as this pot.

Right, it doesn't come out of the frame which I thought was a little weird too. You can put the whole pot w frame in sink to wash. Maybe being soldered to the frame gives it stability?

I'm sorry, I don't know if the manufacturers considers it so, but I do not put mine in the dishwasher because I want it to hold the seasoned cooking surface it has built. The point of this pot is the delicious moist flavor it produces. If you don't boil rice in it till it sticks and keep it well seasoned it's very easy to clean. I also do not use regular harsh dish soap on mine. I use a natural dish soap and VERY little of it and then let it dry naturally. After it's dry, I put a little Olive oil in and rub it around. If well cared for you will never have to but another of these. Wonderful heirloom too.

You may wash this item both ways. I enjoy mine as it cooks very well and the food is very tasty. Well worth the money. Enjoy!

You can wash it because the top comes off, and you could disinfect it with a disinfectant solution, but it's plastic so it won't withstand the temperatures needed for sterilization such as in boiling water. I found mine stopped working after the second use anyway.

I believe the directions state that it cannot be submerged. I have removed the little piece at the bottom and rinsed the pot with hot water and wiped it with a soft towel or just a paper towel and am ready to go again!

I don't know if it is but why would you want to take up all that room in your dishwasher? This pot is huge and washes up easily by hand. We love this pit. The glass top makes it easy to see inside.

First, the pot is huge, so it may not even fit in your dishwasher. In general it's a bad idea to put stainless steel cookware in the dishwasher, so it's really up to your comfort level. There's no coating to come off, so it's up to you. I don't like to because dishwasher detergents are abrasive and sort of "sand down" things over time. This the same reason I don't put good knives in the dishwasher.Short answer, yes, but it may affect performance/lifespan.

It states in the instruction manual to hand wash the inner lid and pan. It does state NOT to use the dishwasher for the inner lid and pan because they have a delicate finish, doing so may damage the pieces. Hope this helps.

Yes the ceramic pot is removable. It is pretty heavy. I weighed it on my kitchen scale and it weighs 7lbs 12oz. Not sure if I personally would remove the pot for serving, but I definitely remove it to clean it.

The pot is dishwasher safe, per the Cuisinart website. The small plug is electric induction, so no worries.

No, I Called The Company And Asked That Same Question. YoU Can Wash It Though.

I've never washed the whole thing-I think I would take it to the cleaners, and have it professionally cleaned, rather than trying to do it myself, in the washer. If you do decide to wash it, I would do it on the gentle cycle, cold water, and NOT put it in the dryer.

Yes, the pot with lid can be washed in dishwasher. I personally don't put pots and pans in dishwasher.

The pot goes In the dishwasher. You have to wash the cover by hand but it's really not a big deal.
