dish washer friendly?

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

Hand washing is recommended due to the handles being wooden. It is also recommended that the handles be treated to last longer and make them look and feel more comfortable.

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.

Margery,Yes, it is dishwasher safe. We purchased about 6 months ago and absolutely love this silverware. No staining or waterspots in the dishwasher, even with our hard water and cheap detergent. More importantly, this is very heavily built silverware, and it will never bend, which is our main reason for purchasing it. Very high quality and definetly worth the money. Amazon was less expensive than the retail stores that carry Oneida.

I would not recommend using the dishwasher but it wouldn't hurt it. It just might not get all the crevices clean. Let me know if it works better than hand washing.

I would suggest OXO Good Grips Compost Bin , which I have used The OXO one is dishwasher safe. OXO Good Grips Compost Bin I don't think the commode bucket is really sturdy enough. I don't recall if it is dishwasher safe, but I wouldn't wash it in the dishwasher as the plastic is soft.I am very happy with my OXO Compost Bin.

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.

I would not put it in the dishwasher. I have used bleach products, specifically Tilex on and around the handgrip. Just be sure to rinse well as residual bleach can be slippery.

I've used Glisten Dishwasher Magic. Use according to directions stated on pkg. It's worked well for me.

Sorry. I do not wash in dish washer. We use these dishes in our travel trailer. They pack very nicely and compactly into three padded china storage zippered containers, so they ought to stack very compactly in a kitchen cabinet. My husband loves these dishes. And when you find a china set that a Southern Redneck loves, well, you know you have found a real special set of china, (no mossy oak and antlers on these plates). All kidding aside these are real nice dishes you won't be disappointed. They quite colorfully, that what my husband likes about them.

Never tried dishwasher. I wash by hands since the rice usually gets sticked on it.

No. Most sources just recommend mild dishwashing liquid or similar. I've had success with that.

I can't recall what the manual suggests but I've dish washered mine with no problems. Have fun! It's a great item.

I have, but in the basket on the top level. If you don't have that, I'd recommend using the silverware thing on the bottom. I believe they just don't want a small part of it to go down into the dishwasher and break the washer.

Washing the blade, no (too sharp- it would cut the dishwasher rack or dull itself banging against other items). I also wouldn't put the sliding tray in the dishwasher (sealed dial wouldn't dry, so it could rust hidden metal bits). There is a metal push plate you could wash safely. Other small plastic piece ( separator blade) is too small, so could get lost. So my answer would be mostly no to dish washer.

Yes it is dishwasher safe, but you really don't have to put it in the dishwasher. That's taking into consideration that you are putting clean dishes in it. You can also do a quick rinse of it in the sink.

I don't have a dishwasher either. It isn't awkward at all actually... even if you have excessively large hands! A dish scrubber can easily work the dirt off the 'saucer' area. Even if you don't have one too, a finger can work thru it with ease.
