Does this have to be hand washed or can it go into a dishwasher?

I put the bottom in the dishwasher and hand wash the top. Not sure why I do this... just makes sense. I also clean the gasket separately by hand - but not every time ...I coat the gasket with a tiny amount of safflower oil after it is clean and dry...It says to to do this in the instructions..it seems to make for a consistent seal. I ordered a back up seal gasket but have not needed it in over a year. We use the pressure cooker about once a week. Works very well.

The pressure cooker pot is dishwasher safe but the top needs to be hand washed.

The user's manual says, "The pressure cooker pot is dishwasher safe, but the lid should be washed by hand with warm water, mild dishwashing soap and a nonabrasive cleaning pad."

Think dishwasher is O.K. However, wouldn't do top that way. Very high quality steel. Easy to wash all by hand. Works on induction appliances. Love it.

I have always hand washed it, but it should be fine in dishwasher in my opinion.

I believe it says to hand wash it only, but I have ran it through the dishwasher on the top rack many times without any damage.

I wouldn't put it in the dishwasher. It is a great piece that hand washes easily. I would purchase it again.

It is dishwasher safe. I usually wash mine by hand though since I use it daily.

I can't say. We hand wash ours. Some Finish in the dishwasher from time to time should help if you are forced to use it.

Mine say hand wash only also. I would not recommend dishwasher for this item. It is pretty chip resistent but I would not take the chance.

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.

Good question. Maybe handwash only so you don't break it in the dishwasher. I put it in the dishwasher and haven't had any problems.

I always wash it by hand. It's a little big to fit on the top shelf of a dishwasher.

We always wash ours by hand. It is too big for our dishwasher. I don't remember if the literature said anything about it being dishwasher safe. Sorry we can't help more!

Yes it is dishwasher safe. But I will say mine only makes it to the dishwasher once in awhile. We use ours regularly so I end up hand washing it to use again immediately.

Yes, to both questions, although I usually just hand wash. I have put it in the top rack of the dishwasher a couple of times and it was fine.

I believe it can be washed in the top rack of the dishwasher, but since my husband uses it on a daily basis we simply wash it by han.

Sorry, I haven't put it in the dishwasher. It cleans up quickly and beautifully by hand washing, so I haven't thought to put it in the dishwasher.

I have washed this by hand and also in the dishwasher when I have space. It seems to be dishwasher safe.

I believe it says to wash by hand. This is our second one. The first one we put thru the dishwasher and it cracked
