Can these knives be cleaned in the dishwasher?

No. In the description it says hand wash/dry only. I didn't realize this (or perhaps I read the answers here), and put mine in the dishwasher. When I used them with moisture on my hand, black residue came off on my hand. I don't know if there's a way to restore the finish now or not. If you really want to use the dishwasher to clean your knives, I would recommend getting the set with the black handles that are supposed to be dishwasher safe.

I had the same question, so I called Cuisinart today to check on this issue. They say the knives are NOT dishwasher safe and that if they were it would be indicated on the box (which it is not).

I have not and knives are regularly put in dishwasher-perhaps a defective set is the issue?

I put mine in the dishwasher, but be warned, if you don't take them out right away, they can get a little rust in them. This looks more like a little discoloration, but that is what the dishwasher can do. This doesn't bother me, and the knives still work great. So I guess it really depends what you are okay with.

You need to be careful cleaning them because they are so sharp you will cut your self if you aren't careful. The knives clean up just fine. No issues.

They do ok in the dishwasher, but they do have a problem with food blemishing the blade if it is not cleaned off immeidiately. Expect to spend time keeping the blade clean to avoid spotting on them.

Yes, we've had 3 of these paring knives since June 2012 and they have been washed in the dishwasher since that time. They are still doing great and are our favorite knives - which means they are washed frequently.

If I had to take a guess - yes? I've personally have never put them in the dishwasher, only cleaned them by hand. I would try looking them up via the company. But, in general, most stainless steel can be thrown in the dishwasher.

I don't know what manufacture recommends but I have washed mine in dishwasher with no negative effects to the knives regardless of size washed

It might be ok to put them in a dishwasher, I don't think the colors would wear off, but to sustain the longevity of knives in general it is best to hand wash and dry immediately.

No. You should never put knives of any sort of good quality through a dishwasher. They should be hand washed and dried immediately after washing.

I have been putting them in the dishwasher, I use "Finish" for preventing spots and water marks. While the handles are plastic, and not high end, the blades are sharp and work better than more expensive knives I've had in the past.

As a rule I do not wash my knives in the dishwasher. My daughter does wash the set I bought her in the dishwasher & has had no problems.

I would say no dishwasher. The handle us polymer that may warp. Fine knives should never go into the dishwasher. Don't know for certain about UV but the materials should not be affected.

I hand wash my knives and they still look brand new. I think if you washed them in the dishwasher all the time they might rust

I have had these knives for several years and they do occasionally go into the dishwasher with NO problems. However, you should not make a practice of putting any knife in the dishwasher, but wash your knives by hand. It's easier on the blades and better for them.

I wouldn't put any fine cutlery in the dishwasher. The knife set is excellent.
