I've always hand-washed mine mostly to keep the stainless steel from being tarnished, and also because I've heard that washing anything with teflon in the dishwasher could possibly ruin the teflon. It's up to you, but I would say no, you shouldn't clean your poacher in the dishwasher. Hope this helps!

The stainless steel pan, the plate that holds the egg cups and the lid can certainly all go in the dishwasher. The egg cups themselves have a non-stick coating - I don't know about putting them in the dishwasher but they're very east to clean by hand. I usually just cean the whole thing by hand - it literally takes a half a minute since the pan only has water in it.

I just wash it by hand -- it's really easy and I know the finish won't be harmed.

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

Yes dishwasher is no problem you can clean like any other utensil. Actually it is very strong and light. I keep this in my travel bag so I always have a fork/spoon and just clean it in the sink at hotels. It has a nice combination of smooth spoon area and matte finish handle makes it easy to clean and hold.

I find it best to handwash it with mild soapy water. I wouldn't want the harsh dishwasher soap to rub off the details!

I have not put mine in the dishwasher. I use "Barkeepers Friend" powdered non-abrasive cleanser and a non-scratch scouring pad to get all of the grilling mess off of the pan. I doubt that it would get very clean in the dishwasher. Just my opinion, though - I guess you could try the dishwasher and see what happens?

I have not washed it in the dishwasher. It would probably be the only thing that would fit in it at one time. Also, dishwasher solution could discolor the finish. I don't recommend it.

Good question, I don't have a dishwasher so I wouldn't know. I would personally stick with hand-washing it. A quick rinse and wipe off is all you need. Unless it's made from stainless steel, which I don't think it is, a dishwasher may not be the best idea.

I hand washed mine. But I don't see why you couldn't put it in the dish washer.

I would think the attachments could be washed in the dishwasher, but I hand wash mine. The cord is not retractable. I particularly like this model because of its powerful motor. One of the first things I tried was using the dough hooks to knead bread. It worked great!

I love my 6 egg poacher, I do not put it in the dishwasher, it cleans so easy, though. I read the reviews and one complaint I saw was that water will get between the lid handle and the disc in the dishwasher. It will also happen if you leave the lid soaking in water. I put the lid in the sink full of water for over an hour before I was able to get back to it and water was between the disc and handle. It was very easy to remove the screw and dry off the lid, so if you want to put it in the dishwasher you can easily get the water out. I found the cups clean so easy, but I do use a small amount of butter in each cup and I've not had any issues with them chipping. I would recommend this product.

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.

Although there is nothing that confirms or denies the ability to use it in a dishwasher, I would not put it in the dishwasher. Regular dish brush and water will clean it in 5 seconds.

Had a lesser quality poacher but the problem was the teflon peeling off the egg cups. Had no rust problems with it but it was hand-washed & dried daily. Have had the calphalon only 2 months. No rust but also hand-washed & dried daily. The first poacher said to spray the cups with Pam. I feel this made the teflon break down. The calphalon says to rub the cups with oil. Am using olive oil & the eggs fall out easily.

Can be cleaned in the dishwasher in the upper rack only. I don't know if it comes clean as I wash mine by hand.

I put mine in the dishwasher. Just be careful not to scratch the nonstick surface.

I washed mine by hand since it was such a small item but I don't see why it couldn't be put in the dishwasher since it is mostly metal.

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.
