i understand why you would need the cage when putting it in the washing machine but is it necessary if you put it in the dishwasher?

Didn't work well in washing machine. Fell apart. Gonna try the dishwasher soon. Hopefully it works

The hat can get thrown around, and the cage will help keep the shape, so I think so, yes.

I doubt it's "necessary" for the dishwasher but if the hat gets wadded up for some reason, it wouldn't get completely clean. If you have the cage, there isn't any reason not to use it.

I would at least recommend using the bottom frame to keep the hats shape If you dont want to use the whole frame

I don't see why you would need too, just rinse it well after use. If you did want to anyway, they are pretty tough and would most likely be fine in the washer.

I agree with P. Phillip. The literature with the product does not mention anything about being dishwasher safe. As with the other answers the detachable "dish" is the only part that you would probably want to put in a dishwasher.

I cannot imagine it would need to go through the dishwasher. My recommendation would be no.

If everything in the dishwasher is basically clean before you put it in, or if you never want to use it for flour again. Otherwise, it will end up with gunk in the mesh that will be a royal pain to clean out.

I agree with the previous answer it's Soooo easy to clean that I haven't thought to put it in the dishwasher! It doesn't seem to be a problem to put the top part in it. I think will take longer to use the dishwasher than to wash it yourself. If you don't wash it right away when is a breeze you may need to use the dishwasher.

Yes. I have washed mine many times in the dishwasher. It has done no damage to it.

I never put my items in dish washer, but after all the abuse I have given my crockpot insert it has held up fine for several years. Just a quick hand wash is enough. I cook a whole chicken in the crock pot, raised above the botton and the chicken is VERY moist.

Yes, we put ours in the dishwasher all the time. However as it is wood I would suggest that whenever possible to remove it before the drying cycle to prolong the life of the piece.

No...Do not put it in the Dishwasher. I was skittish/nervous about ordering it as it would be in the back of a truck delivered to my house and thought it may not work when it arrived to my home. Thankfully it arrived in perfect condition.

I never wash mine in the dishwasher. I usually just wash it by hand. It's fairly easy to clean and I use it so often, it's more trouble than it's worth to put it in the dishwasher. Regardless, I would assume it would drain out and dry after pouring the water out of it after the cycle. I would give it plenty of time to air-dry before putting it back on the unit.

I put it in the dishwasher with no problems. I use the "air dry" setting, though I don't know if that is necessary. It's fine other than the latch no longer working after just a few months of light use, which I don't think was a result of the dishwasher.

I keep a juicer on mine and use as a work top.......not sure about the dishwasher>

I've never put it in a dishwasher. I figure spinning water out of salad, it's pretty safe just to rinse and wipe off.

Yes, the cage does not need the stand. I am not using the stand at all and it is very stable and still easy to clean.

I honestly don't know. I ordered this one for my daughter. I also have one but I have always hand washed mine. I would think that if you did put it in the dishwasher that you would risk from the high heat...possibly loosening some of the rubber or even ruining it. I would just hand wash it to be on the safe side. I enjoy mine so much that I just wouldn't want to risk damaging it. I hope that this helps.

Yes it is dish washer safe, hower I would put it on the top rack just to be safe.
