When hand washing, how careful do you have to be? Can the red base and handle get wet?

Quite frankly I only rinse it out and use paper towels to dry it. I love it

Be careful, do not submersible either in water. I wipe those areas down with a damp cloth.

I only hand wash mine. To get a better / more authoritative perspective I would call Frieling - the distributor at 800.827.2582 and ask the question.

Hand washing only is recommended for this unit. I have never really had a problem keeping mine clean.

I always hand wash ours. It's pretty sturdy but it would probably do better stood up between plates to ensure it doesn't tip.

They recommend hand washing. My initial cleaning was in the dish washer. I mostly rinse under hot water and depending on what I cut a bit of dish soap.

No, I have never had a problem with the handle. The only problem I have is the container itself becomes somewhat discolored after using it for a while. I use it daily to make protein fruit shakes, so I anticipate that the acid in the fruit may have an affect. Only use a soft sponge or cloth on the container...never use anything that can scratch it.

Hi, Jimmy C. Yes. In fact, it should only be washed by hand as it's not dishwasher safe. Use only clear, regular hand soap (not dish soap) and soft cloth.

I always wash mine by hand, just seems smart when items have wood handles. :)

I always handwash mine, it is simple and fast. I love it, and didn't buy it because of the recipes on the side, but found out that they are very handy. And a good for parties/gatherings!

I haven't tried to shower with it, and most likely won't. When I wash my hands I do try to keep the water off of it. My friend who is a chef takes his off to wash his hands. Water resistant is not a confidence inspiring phrase.

Absolutely. Gave it as a gift to my dad and he uses his. I believe it may not be dishwasher safe, though, so a quick hand-wash would be neccesary.

We've washed it once by hand and once in the dishwasher. We haven't had any issues!

I wouldn't recommend it, at least for the base. Water somehow got stuck in what I believe was the handle so each time you shake it, water swishes around. Because I hand wash it, this mug has been with me for 7+ years

The product manual is very specific about gently hand washing the inner pan and inner lid. It doesn't say 'Not to wash in dishwasher' but implies that damage might result to the delicate finish of the inner pan if handled without care.

I've been hand washing mine....but don't figure that the dishwasher would hurt it. Just be careful where you place it and where your heating element resides. Lid should be TOP shelf of course.

While it is indeed dishwasher safe, in my experience, hand washing any cookware that has a non-stick finish is "safer" from the standpoint of the non-stick coating remaining intact. Furthermore, because it is non-stick, it should be very easy to clean. The key is to quickly sponge wash it immediately after use.

It says to wash in warm water with mild soap, so I've been hand washing mine. I imagine the dishwasher would be too hot for it to handle.
