Can anyone confirm that this can be immersed in water, and/or put in the dishwasher? My family is confused b/c of the nonremovable plug receptacle.

This one is completely immersible. What you see in the photo is where the plug goes into it. There are two exposed prongs inside over which the plug fits. The cord/plug itself is in two parts.

The pot is dishwasher safe, per the Cuisinart website. The small plug is electric induction, so no worries.

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.

No! Do not put the grill plate in the dishwasher and do not immerse it in water. You cannot get the temperature control switch wet at any time.

The cord is not submersible because it contains the temperature control assembly, however the cord unplugs from the base and the base is also detachable from the bowl with a 1/4 turn of a locking knob on the bottom of the unit. This is a very sturdy and well made wok... Highly recommended.

Nop! you can't immerse it in water.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H616yJ2u5hs this video tells almost everything you'd like to know

I clean mine with paper towels and if needed I put it in warm sudsy water (all but where the plug goes in) and I have never had a problem with it.

I am not sure, but I believe the label had washing instructions and if it was allowed since the item would have to be submerged with a plug attached.

I put it in the dishwasher all the time and have had no problems. I don't remember reading anything on the packaging that said it couldn't go in the dishwasher.

I have used it while plugged in but at the sink. I would be really careful using it around water though while plugged in. You don't want to get electrocuted. It does charge quickly and does hold a charge for a long time but I don't use it every day.

I agree with P. Phillip. The literature with the product does not mention anything about being dishwasher safe. As with the other answers the detachable "dish" is the only part that you would probably want to put in a dishwasher.

I don't think it is listed as being able to put in a dishwasher, but I have and had no problems. The thing is, I don't use the "heat dry" on my dishwasher, I just let it air dry.

yes, the metal grilling area including plug-in releases from the plastic base to facilitate cleaning....dishwasher cleaning, though seemingly possible, would perhaps be ineffectual.....most of the cleanup is relatively hard burned residue which may be impervious to dishwasher spray activity....

The heated end is "submerged" - I fail to see how that would possibly constitute a fire hazard. As for the plug end - I wouldn't think it's any more a fire hazard than any other electrical item you have plugged into a socket.

I would say NO, the unit, according to the instructions, should not be immersed in water. If someone knocks it into the water it may have to be sent back to the manufacturer to be fixed, this is not covered under the warranty. The only option I could see is to find a way to mount it to a heavy aluminum plate and weight this down ..... Would be cheaper and faster to just drill the small hole required, only took me 5 minutes, and is hardly noticeable!

I don't see why not, it has the same contact with water as if used in the sink, however, as I commented before by letting water into the charging connector will on time get contaminated and stop charging, I am using it now without removing the cord, a nuisance but the problem was solved

I've used the dishwasher without problem, except have to shake out some water after it's clean...the only problem I've had is losing one! Never had one break while I've owned it. Like the idea of a water pik, but think it's unnecessary.

Generally it would be a bad idea to submerge any cord connection-even if it was rated at IPX7 (1M submerged) or IPX8 (&gt;1M). If the stock cord from the pump is not long enough you are better off having an electrician or someone knowledgeable replace the cord with a longer one. You are much safer with one continuous cord underwater than with any kind of plug/receptacle. This one is definitely NOT meant to be submerged, as the other commenter says it is rated IPX5 which means it can only withstand spraying water on it (i.e. rain falling on it, with no standing water).
