Is this pot dishwasher safe?

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 is easier to wash by hand. Stainless steel cleaner used after a good scrubbing will make it shiny like new.

It won't fit in my dishwasher and, being stainless, it's VERY easy to wash by hand. On second thought it's so big and fairly heavy if you feel unsafe handling it ask someone to help preferably a big, strong someone!!!

I have to agree with the two previous answers and have always washed the pot by hand. This is due to the size and I also like to wash and dry the pot so it comes out looking like new. We do not put any good stainless cookware, knives or other expensive items in the dishwasher. I believe you will extend the life and looks of this pot by hand washing. Good luck with your choice.

No! A family member put one of my frying pans in the dishwasher and the nice black outside of the pot was stripped in that one wash. The lids are dishwasher safe, though.

I think it's dishwasher safe. I usually hand wash it though so I can't speak from experience.

Their instructions and website say it is not dishwasher safe, thus I have not tried. But I will add that I totally love this cookware so far - after about 2 months. Like it much better than my former Calphalon!

Margery,Yes, it is dishwasher safe. We purchased about 6 months ago and absolutely love this silverware. No staining or waterspots in the dishwasher, even with our hard water and cheap detergent. More importantly, this is very heavily built silverware, and it will never bend, which is our main reason for purchasing it. Very high quality and definetly worth the money. Amazon was less expensive than the retail stores that carry Oneida.

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.

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

I wouldn't do it. As mentioned before, the glass is pretty fragile so a strong dishwasher might crack or chip some of the pot. It's best to just stay with hand washing.

No, that would not be a good idea. I tried it with one pot to see and it messed it up. Not to the point that it is unusable, but it made the seams separate and the thin stainless steel edges exposed a bit. The others have only been hand washed and are perfect. I have a friend that has a set of older pots and she told me to never put them in the dishwasher and I had to learn for myself. But even though they are only hand washable, I LOVE them!

Yes, I put the pot in the dishwasher all the time. It can also be put in the refrigerator.

Sorry I can't help you. I haven't put mine in the dishwasher. The one that came with my original blue pot rusted and was difficult to use. This one is much easier to handle.

The dishwasher won't bother it, no, but that raises the question of whether it's safe for you to wash any neti pot in a dishwasher. I wouldn't do it because food particles could contaminate a neti pot. Thoroughly sanitize a neti pot with clean, soapy water, then rinse it well with very hot water, and drain. If you've been ill and are concerned about clearing bacteria or viruses out of the pot after you've used it, then boil it or use a few drops of bleach in your rinse. And I hope you know to never use tap water whenever you fill your neti pot to use it; stick with distilled water.

Yes it is dishwasher safe. I find the bottom part does not get as clean as I like without hand washing,but the top/lid I put in the top rack of the dishwasher.

I do not put mine into the dishwasher so I do not have any problem. Word to the wise: do not put good pots and pans into your dishwasher; wash by hand, it only takes a minute. Dishwasher detergent is very harsh on finishes.

Yes it is dishwasher safe but the outside will loose its clean look and goes chalky looking but that is a superficial difference.
