From the comments this looks to be a pain to clean, can you not put in dishwasher where the silverware goes or something?

I've used the dishwasher for years to clean it. Only problem is when you use it on fatty meats since the fat gets stuck in the blades, and tends to harden in the dry cycle.

I don't have a dishwasher, but still wouldn't trust it to clean the device. I've had no problems using hot soapy water and a toothbrush saved just for this purpose.

You have a buttom to give access to the blades, but I don't know if works OK in a dishwasher machine!

I LOVE this gadget - meat is always tender and cooks faster. But you have to be disciplined enough to immediately rinse it off after using. I use a dish brush to wash between the tines & rinse well with hot water. Others have said you could put in dishwasher but I havent' tried it.

Absolutely you can and should place this in the dishwasher. It is the only way to make sure you sanitize the whole unit. You do need to take it apart of course and that can be tricky. But once you get the bottom off (there is a thin sliding rack on the bottom where the blades rest, and then disengage the blades to be free of the housing, you can safely place the blades in the utensil rack or if too small, on the upper rack. I haven't come across the probem with the fats being caked on the blades. I think it's because I rinse the blades first and then put it in the dishwasher. This is the best tool I have used for tenderizing meats and you should always wash this is the dishwasher. Absolutely you can and should place this in the dishwasher.

I put my Jaccard in the dishwasher and it comes out immaculate. Never any cleanliness issues. I did bend a blade once but was able to straighen it out fine. Love this device.

I do not think you are suppose to put anything in the dishwasher. hand wash and dry

That issue had me confused, too; but I decided to buy it for my daughter anyway. I looked it over before taking it to her, and it looked adequate to me. My daughter has had no complaints and says it IS a space saver. It looks very nice in her kitchen, too. I helped with the dishes once and didn't have a problem with putting silverware in its container. If you're sloppy putting things in there, you might have to right them again; but, honestly, it just doesn't seem like it should be an issue. Hope you like it. It's very attractive and sturdy.

Cleaning is not difficult. I always hand wash it however, I have not tried to use the dishwasher. It cleans easily. I actually have two pans - one at my primary home and one at a second home. I made the mistake of leaving one of them on the cooktop with the burner left on after cooking french toast. It damaged the pan in a way that browned the cook surface. I cannot get it cleaned back to the original look, but I see that as a problem I caused - not the manufacturer. The burned pan still works perfectly fine - it just doesn't look as nice as a new pan.

As other reviewers have said, they key seems to be avoiding the dishwasher and relying on hand-washing and immediate drying. That's what I do and I have had no problems so far.

There would be no need to put this in the dishwasher since it is constructed from stainless steel. Plus, it has little rubber feet things on it to keep from scratching your sink that I would imagine is not recommended for the dishwasher. But again, its stainless steel; food and things falls off of it with very little effort.

No, it is not. I made that mistake with my first piece. It won't hurt the actual cookware but the outside finish would be ruined. I'm still using the piece I washed, and other than not looking as good as the others, it works just fine. On the good side, these are the easiest pots and pans to clean. Even the most stuck on things easily come off. It has not been an inconvenience at all not being able to put them in the dishwasher.

No sorry, but it's so easy to clean I never thought about putting it in the dishwasher. It's big too.

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'm sorry, but I haven't had to clean the bottoms yet. Someone in my household put the little frying pan in the dishwasher, and that was a VERY BAD thing to do. The bottom of it now looks awful! Make sure you don't put them in the dishwasher!

I have only hand washed it simply because it's large and my dishwasher is relatively small. I see no reason why you couldn't put it in the dishwasher though. It's a beautiful piece. Very versatile & I love to use it. I'm so sorry to hear of your losses. My good thoughts & prayers go out to you.

usually I just wipe them off. I don't see why they would not be dishwasher safe though.

No instructions for ours either; however, it is stainless steel, so a gentle hand-wash should be OK. I probably wouldn't put it in the dishwasher - you'd need to be sure all those crevices got completely dry. We're happy with ours.

NO! I forgot and put it into the dishwasher and the metal coating washed off (who would think?) so now it's unusable because there is grey power residue on it. Going to try the plastic coated beater which is dishwasher safe.

I use mine as decoration only. But I would not stick it in the dishwasher because of the wooden handle. I would had wash the item. I did not see anything on the set that said not put it in dishwasher, but like I said there is the wooden handle which could get ruined in a dishwasher. It is a beautiful set and I am very glad I purchased it.

I'm not really sure as I don't have a dishwasher. I don't know why it wouldn't be as the parts are either steel or hard plastic and there don't seem to be any warnings. It's certainly easy enough to clean manually.

I do not know. The enameled surface is so simple to clean up that I have never thought about putting it in the dishwasher.
