How can I tell if I purchased the dishwasher safe type? It doesn't say anywhere on the package dishwasher safe.

I purchased these as a gift so have not personally used them. However, I would never put a good knife in the dishwasher, especially one with a wooden handle.

We don't wash our wooden handled utensils in our dishwasher as it tends to, over time, dull the wood finish. But dishwasher safe or unsafe....well, I have never heard or observed those phrases applied to any other utensils, dishes, pots, pans or the endless myriad of storage containers with the sole exception of plastics. I can safely say there is no plastic components in these knives. plastic

I do not put them in the dishwasher . Heat dulls knives and would also has to affect the handle parts.

To be honest I am not sure, and it doesn't say on the pan itself. I want ti say the directions said to hand wash only but I can remember. We hand wash all our pots and pans anyways so I really never thought about the dishwasher safeness of this pan. I apologize I could not be of more help.

I don't believe it is dishwasher safe, I can't find any information to the contrary. And it would seem by your results it would not be a good idea to put in the dishwasher. As I am constantly using the dispenser I just wipe it down with a damp cloth and it does a good job. Hope this helps.

I don't know. Doubt it. I carefully wash it by hand. It doesn't get very dirty. It does seem to dull a bit over time. I'll check for markings about dishwasher safe later. If it is, I'll report back.

I never saw it specified that it's dishwasher safe, but I've happily tossed it into the dishwasher on the bottom rack a couple of times already and it appears to be just fine.

I'm not 100% sure, but I can tell you that ours have gone in the dishwasher many times without a problem.

Yes, they are dishwasher safe. We wash them that way all the time with no problems, and I am pretty sure on the packaging it said that they were.

The box didn't specify "dishwasher safe" but I have put mine in with no adverse results.

I don't think no label saying it is safe to put in dishwasher or microwave. I just wash by hand.

I returned mine. It arrived broken. I have no idea if it is dishwasher safe.

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.

I don't put mine in the dishwasher. Don't know what the manufacturer recommends.

I don't know. When I bought them I just assumed they were, but it's not stated on this site or the Cuisinart site, which only say that they are dishwasher safe. I do not have the original packing, but none of the 3 bowls have anything stamped on them other than the Cuisinart logo. I have only used them for mixing or serving snacks, but would have used them in the microwave without even thinking about it. Now I am curious as well, almost to the point of trying one out - but I'll wait for someone else to reply with a definitive answer first. Sorry I couldn't help.

Yes, they are dishwasher safe. I choose to wash mine by hand, though, because I don't want the colored measurement markings to be worn away.

Yes, it is dishwasher safe. I don't clean it there, since it is so easy to clean in general.

The label and included paperwork say yes, it is dishwasher safe. I am choosing to hand wash since I have heard reports of a thermos losing its seal from dishwasher.
