Description states this pan is dishwasher safe but several reviewers say the directions give vinegar solution cleanup directions-confused here?

I buy this one every few years (the current one I have had it for last 4+yrs). I have stuck it in dishwasher. Nothing happened to it except that it did not come out very clean. The reason being if you use dishwasher jet dry it gets stuck into the concentric circular ridges. Hence I just wash with a regular dishwashing soap.

I have a 4 part recipe that is better than any dishsoap I've ever used: 1 tsp Bronner's Sal Suds, 1 tsp Arm&Hammer; washing soda, 1 tsp baking soda and 1/2 cup white vinegar poured in the bottom of the machine. Yeah it's extra trouble but it's safe, natural and dishes come out shiny and spotless!

Hi There! I never wash any of my good pans in the dishwasher. This pan is awesome and cleans easily because it has a non-stick finish.

Follow the directions and hand wash. The chemicals in the dishwasher soap would probably harm the metal in both the lids and rack.

Although it might say dishwasher safe I make it a habit to wash my pans by hand with a mild soap. Then take a small amount of oil and wipe the pan with a papper towel. This removes any soap scum left behind and keeps the pan surface moist and ready to use the next time.

It may not be dishwasher safe. But try spraying Pam or wipe olive oil on it before using it.

The packaging (by the company) includes a note saying not to use the dishwasher. We have been hand washing ours. They are a quick rinse job and repellant to food grime, so the job is easy. I don't want to use the dishwasher in case the nice dirt-repelling finish comes off.

The care instructions that come with the set have general instructions for all types of pots/pans. It says that the materials that are NOT dishwasher safe are: Hand-Anodized Aluminum cookware; Porcelain Enamel-Exterior cookware; Copper Bottom cookware; Plain Aluminum cookware. Since these are porcelain exterior, I do not put them in the dishwasher but they are very easy to clean since they are nonstick. I check overstock.com and for this set their site says "dishwasher safe" but Amazon does not.

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 would assume its due to dishwasher soap. Im only saying that because I used a Mr. Clean sponge on mine and it dis-coloured it. Not pleased what it looks like, but am very happy how it cleans up..not hard to clean off sticking stuff. Sorry I don't know why you have to handwash it. God Bless

Sadly NO - I learned from hard, sad experience that a nice shiny aluminum pan comes out dark gray and black after one wash in the dishwasher. It did not come completely clean using Brillo pads and elbow grease. I have the same problem with all aluminum. I used Great Value dishwasher detergent (powder). Save yourself some heartache and line with aluminum foil if you want an extremely easy clean up. My replacement pans are not that hard to hand wash.

no, it is not dishwasher safe because the electrical mechanism is attached to the pan. it is, however, really easy to clean.no complaints about this purchase, it's terrific!

I prefer to hand-wash with dish-soap and warm water. After being used, I fill it with hot water, leave it for some time then do the hand-washing. It is not a hard job, because it has a good non-stick surface. I do not wash my stockpot, skillet-pans in dishwashing machine. Therefore, I do not know if it is dishwasher safe or ot.

I love this cookware. But, I haven't put it in the dishwasher for fear of the anodized outer shell of the pan coming off & maybe even getting on other dishes. I've read negative comments about that. So, it's not worth it to me. I just hand wash them. Food does come off well.

I never put the cooking pan in dishwasher because I am afraid the coating may be damaged. Cleaning cooking pan is easy in the sink.Once I washed the lid in dishwasher. Lid developed a hazy white stain. I am afraid to use harsh material to clean. Hence forth I also manually wash the lid. Anyway it is easy to clean.If somebody has tried dish washing the pan or lid

The label states that the pan is dishwasher safe, but recommends hand washing. I don't use my dishwasher for pans so I always hand wash. It swishes clean very easily.

It is a nonstick pan, so it should not be put in the dishwasher. They are actually fairly easy to clean, if you prepare your pans well. I use Baker's Joy to prep all my Bundt pans (use a pastry brush to make sure it gets coated well), and then a short soak in really hot soapy water to clean them. Use a soft brush to get in the crevices and you are good to go!
