Are they really dishwasher safe? I've seen a few reviews mention tarnish/rust.

After 10 years, they might have a miniscule amount of rust right by the handle, but that wipes right off when you take it out of the dishwasher. I have never seen tarnish.

For me, if I dry them a bit while I put them away they do fine, but if I am lazy and leave them in the dishwasher with a couple drops on them, they do rust in that spot. I was a bit dissapointed with that but I still love the set, really!

I've always heard that knives (other than butter knives) should never be washed in the dishwasher, so I have never tried.

There is some occasional discoloration but we still put them through the dish washer. We've had our set for 8 years and they are still in great shape.

I am not sure. I have never put them in the dishwasher nor would I. I wipe them down with saopy water and use stainless steel cleaner on them. They are very heavy and sturdy. Look high quality. We are happy with the set.

Yes, they are dishwasher safe. I washed my dishes in the dishwasher and they came out perfectly fine...Love them...

I've had mine for a few months and they haven't rusted at all. I don't put them in the dishwasher or leave them in water, though.

I put mine in the dishwasher. I do rinse first. So far, no rusting. They have nicely finished edges. Better than the pan that came with the oven!

I would not put them in the dishwasher and in fact, have had to replace the entire rack due to rust. I am very dissatisfied with the purchase.

Mine actually rusted after their first trip through the dishwasher. None of my other silverware have experienced any rust issues (not even the cheap stuff), I guess I have just gotten a faulty set.

I have to say I have never washed them in the dishwasher...I don't know why not though. They seem very sturdy to me. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

I think I've put them through the dishwasher at least once, although I usually just rinse off the one I just used and hang them up on the hook over my oven right away. No sign of rust at all and sometimes, it is still a little damp when I hang them up. She must have gotten a bad one. I love these.

I do put them in the dishwasher, and the silver handle does tarnish as others have said. They will also go dull faster as they do get hit with other silverware even if you have the silverware holder that separates each item. I recommend handwashing, even though I don't bother. They do sharpen up again just fine.

No signs of rust! Use these all of the time and wash them in the dish washer

Hi Tom, they are dish washer safe, but if you would like them to last a lifetime I would keep them out of the dish washer. Restraint quality pans are best kept out because even though you want to clean your pans you want to season them. Kinda like cast iron pans you want them to creat the proper sear. Each time you put them in a dish washer it takes the natural finish off the inside and the outer layer. Thus thining your metals and causing uneven cooking.

Honestly, I haven't places them in the dishwasher out of fear. I will say that the outside does get scratched easily. I am very careful with them. I love them and they look great but if you don't mind washing by hand then you should get them. Maybe they will be fine in a dishwasher especially the newer gentler washers that use specific soaps

so they tell you to not put them in the dish washer because the dish wash dulls the knifes. Mine got spot rust on them after being cleaned in the dishwasher. The ones I hand washed have not rusted.

I never tried them out in a dishwasher. However, as they are stainless steel I am quite sure that you can clean them in a dishwasher as well. But you don't because cleaning them with a brass brush is just fine.

I have them to a friend and never used them so I can't tell you. But I assume they were dishwasher safe.
