Has anyone put the crumb tray in the dishwasher? Results?

No, I have not, but see no reason you should not. I put the tray and rack in the dishwasher all the time.

I have not. I wrap the bottom in aluminum foil, I suppose it would be fine since it is made from stainless steal.

We put ours through the dishwasher by itself with no issues. We had to take out the top shelf to do it! ha ha

There is nothing in the instruction booklet or imprinted on any of the parts that indicate they are dishwasher safe so my assumption (as dangerous as that can be) that they are NOT dishwasher safe. The trays are not very card to clean and I really prefer to clean them by hand as there are a lot of openings that could trap bits of whatever you're processing. I've used mine almost daily since receiving it and really like the unit. I've had no trouble with it. Give it a shot.

I had the same question and found the manual on the Hamilton Beach web site - this is what they had to say... To clean crumb tray: 1. Ensure oven is completely cool. 2. Remove baking pan and rack from oven. Tilt oven back. Push handle down to unlock crumb tray. 3. Pull tray down and out. Gently shake crumbs out of tray and wipe with a damp, clean cloth. 4. Push tray back and lock into place. NOTE: Crumb tray is not removable.

I put it in the dishwasher and it comes out beautifully. First I rinse it with hot water using the sprayer, just to dislodge any pieces - then put it in the bottom rack and I've never had a problem. Hope that helps!

I've put mine through the dishwasher every time so far and I've noticed no issues. I do find that a quick rinse as soon after consuming the yummy stuff inside makes for easy clean up without the smells or hard to clean corners others complain about.

Yes, I put mine in the dishwasher all the time...I have done so - top rack and also in the silverware bin on the bottom. But, I have to admit that I NEVER use the drying cycle...I have air dried for 25 years.

Sheila...The crumb tray really works. I put aluminum foil on it to cover. Makes it easier for cleaning

I place the entire top in the silverware tray of my dishwasher and have had no issues! Hope this helps!

No, I have not had a problem. I only use the top rack of the dishwasher when washing it.

Yes. I've put mine in the dishwasher several times and have never had a problem.

I have never had a need for using the crumb tray as everything I make in it is either in a dish or on the metal tray they provide. I guess if you made toast in it there would be crumbs but I just use my toaster.

I don't use a dishwasher, have a microwave but seldom use it, but I wash in very hot water and make that Jello flan that is boiling hot when you pour it into the bowl. No problems. I see others have addressed your concerns. I love mine!

The tray does come out. I have never put it in the dishwasher. I soak it in Clorox water when it needs cleaning.

So far so good. I have had mine for several months and have washed it both by hand and in the dishwasher. I'm trying to wash it mostly by hand for fear of the design coming off, but my kids do the dishes so I often find it after it had been through the washer.

I usually just rinse everything off so there isn't any food left on it, and put everything but the blade and plate in the dishwasher. The dishwasher kind of discolors the tray and the meat tube thing a little, I think because of the detergent and hot water. However, as long as you rinse it off before it goes in the dishwasher, it gets clean. If you don't have a dishwasher, I'd recommend letting everything soak for a few minutes to make sure there's nothing stuck in any crevices. I'm sure though if you wanted to, you could use a pipecleaner to get at any hard-to-reach places.

I'll be honest I have not tried it in the dishwasher. It's so easy to wash and rinse in the sink that I tend to do that after every use. It's seems sturdy enough though if I were to put it in
