Is the bottom of this pan grooved? and can you put it in the dishwasher?

It's a grill pan , so it has the grooves to give those grill marks. I hand wash mine, like I do with all of my hard anodized pans.

It should not be put in the dishwasher. It probably will discolor the pan and it will void the warranty.

Yes. The bottom of the pan in shiny stainless steel. The outer pan is hard anodized.

I don't like to put any pot/pan in the dishwasher, but if you do with others, there's no reason this would be any less "safe" (compared to non-stick or cast iron, it's definitely more "safe"). With how inexpensive this pot is, I don't think I'd trust whatever's keeping the aluminum core bottom attached to hold up through too many harsh dishwasher cycles.

I haven't put it in the dishwasher yet and never really needed to. It's so easy to clean by hand that I haven't the need to. But I wouldn't, this dishwasher is harsh for these kind of pans

I guess so but I've never put it in the dishwasher, it's too heavy. It cleans up really easy, much like a nonstick surface. I do cure it with a little vegetable oil on a paper towel every now and then.

To be honest with you I've always washed it by hand. I don't see why it couldn't be washed using a dishwasher. I bake cheesecakes on a regular basis and the pans have been washed too many times to count and they are doing fine.

Yes I feel it would do fine in the dishwasher. It is sturdy and has a good glaze. The only reservation I have is the absence of shiny glaze on the bottom. However, it may only have been sanded to make it easier to hold it In place during use.

The sticky residue does occur, especially if washed in the dishwasher. The pan needs to be cleaned by hand for a successful washing.The pan is also somewhat flimsy when empty and the bottom is textured, making cleaning a bit trickier at the seams.

Yes, I've stuck both parts in the dish washer with no problems. It's polished stainless on the outside and a brushed finish on the inside. Love them. Good quality and they feel good handling them. Not flimsy.

Not sure since I usually hand wash it. It's easy to clean and I use a brush to get the bottom hole cleaned up. Not sure if the dishwasher would work well on that part.

Since receiving ours over six months ago we've washed it almost exclusively in the dishwasher. Occasionally we'll hand wash the pan, but have had no problems washing it in the dishwasher.

I just put it in the dishwasher occasionally and it is fine. We love the pan.

To be honest, I use mine too often to put it in the dishwasher! I would imagine that the matte finish might get scratched if things rubbed against it in the dishwasher. And I'd worry about the repeated heating and drying cycles ont he rubber gaskets. I'd recommend handwashing, it is fast and easy to clean that way.

I think so but not 100% sure. I do know that this is the best pan I have ever owned. It has never been in a dish washer! Wipe it out with a damp cloth and your done.

It has a smooth bottom. I'd buy this pan again, it has held up well to years of use.

I have not had any issue with the bottom of this sauce pan and I do not put it in the dishwasher because it is so easy to clean. I use a few drops of dishwashing soap and a paper towel and it is done. No matter what was cooked it is so easy to clean and no stains. I did have an issue with the frying pan version. The first time I used it and washed it, on the bottom running the paper towel around a sliver of metal came up from one of the grooves on the bottom. It didn't stab my finger but I was really surprised. It came off cleanly and I have had no problems since. I would advise buyers to check over the bottoms to aviod unpleasent surprises.
