Why "hand washed recommended"? Will dishwasher damage it and/or release unwanted chemicals?

It can face orthogonal color so better to wand by hand mild soap otherwise no peephole no worries

I don't know. I hand washed it carefully because it bends all up every easily. Love

The little booklet that comes with it says it's dishwasher safe. I've always hand-washed it though, so I'm not sure, but suspect it would clean thoroughly in the dishwasher!

Yes, to both questions, although I usually just hand wash. I have put it in the top rack of the dishwasher a couple of times and it was fine.

It is hand wash only. The directions pretty much say to wash every thing by hand. I haven't put the inner container in the dishwasher. It seems sturdy enough so that it wouldn't melt, but I just don't want to chance it. The inner container is too high for my top rack. Maybe if I get an extra inner container, I'll be more brave and try it. I may try washing the serving dish that comes with it as it seems to be the same type of plastic. If/when I do, I'll try to remember to update with results. I hope this was helpful.

I do not use the dishwasher for this product because the soaps, abrasives and chemicals could have an effect. Too much invested to take the chance. Better safe than sorry. I presume you have tried Platex gloves?

I hand wash mine most of the time, but like you I just don't feel like that gets it clean enough, so I run it through the dishwasher about once a week. No adverse effects so far. It has held up really well.

I say yes. I've washed it in the dishwasher a dozen times or more. No visible negative effects.

I believe it says to hand wash it only, but I have ran it through the dishwasher on the top rack many times without any damage.

I've been hand washing it since it's small but I'd think it's fine in the dishwasher. I would probably not use the heavy duty wash, and put it on the top shelf. I'd be more worried about pitting it or the stains that happen sometimes, so if aesthetics don't matter to you, don't worry about it.

I wouldn't really be the one to ask, but looking at the box, it says it is "food safe". It also states "hand washing recommended" on the box.

I don't put mine in the dishwasher. Don't know what the manufacturer recommends.

I don't put it in the dishwasher...seems like it could melt/ruin it. It's easy to handwash, though.

I have never tried that and have not noticed any label indicating dishwasher safety. I use Simple Green spray, then rinse well with water.

Myself personally...I would not trust a dish washing machine with any of my stainless cookware. Others may say different, but I would handwash.

I hand wash mine as I would be concerned about its size for the dishwasher. It is an easy enough item to quickly clean in the sink and then put away to get it out of my way. I'm wary of exposing it to the temps in the dishwasher, too.

Yes! I usually wash it by hand because it takes up a lot of room in the dishwasher, but my husband has put it in the dishwasher with no problem.

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.
