could this be used on the dishwasher? my toddler is able to flip the switch/lever thing and pull it open--even when running and very hot :/

Yes, but you would have to anchor it to another surface for it to work. For example, on mine I would have to anchor it on the cabinet next to the dishwasher.

I don't remember if the packaging says whether or not it can be cleaned in the dishwasher; we always wash it by hand as we don't have a dishwasher. Actually, that information should be included with the product description; it if isn't, it should really be brought to the attention of the Norpro people. I would worry about damage to the handle in a dishwasher. We love this product and I think it's worthwhile even if you're "forced" to wash it by hand.

This is not dishwasher safe. D/W will take the coating off the surface, which ruins the function. I still love it though. You can soak it in hot water in warm soapy water, for a few minutes. Then air/hand dry.

Amy my answer would be no. I don't believe this particular cup was designed to withstand the high heat inside of a dishwasher. Hand washing has always worked well for me, but you do not want to expose the gasket on the screw in top to any detergent for longer than a few seconds. When the stainless steel gets stained by coffee or tea, put about a teaspoon or two of baking soda in it, pour boiling water on on top of that and let it soak for awhile. The interior of the cup will look brand new again.

Absolutely not dishwasher safe. The outer plastic side wall below the rim of the cup splits and breaks open a bit. I've ruined two mugs that way, and I'm currently shopping for a dishwasher safe mug.

I have run it through the dishwasher before and it was fine, but the lid on the interior box is soft plastic or rubber, and probably wouldn't hold up well to high heat.

Hi, I never tried putting inside the dishwasher.. I always hand wash all the baby items even though it says dishwasher safe..

Hmm...don't know. Never ran it through the dishwasher. I don't think I would either. It's pretty big and I guess would melt on the bottom. I can tell you it's almost a year old, we use it everyday and it is still in pristine condition.

Hello Jeanne - we would not recommend using in the dishwasher. Best wishes - Mike.

The top part is not dishwasher safe. Part of the safety pressure release is made of plastic. It is possible for the heating elements with in the dish washer to damage it. If that were to happen the cooker won't be able to hold pressure.The bottom part is dish washer safe.

possibly but the small opening would make the dishwasher cleaning it harder. There are cleaning instructions with the kit. Just rinse it out in the sink with some light soap and water then let it air dry. Or if you're a real pirate you'll never wash it and just keep refilling it with rum...your choice

I don't recall if the instruction sheet addressed this, but I would be wary of exposing the board to the heat cycles of a dishwasher -- there's a chance the board might crack. Also, the board has small rubber feet, and I doubt if the rubber feet would survive in the dishwasher. It seems to me that using surface cleaning with a sponge or dish scrubber and some dishwashing detergent does an adequate job of cleaning.

I don't put mine in the dishwasher and have had no problems. If it was all stainless steel it would be okay to use the dishwasher, but then, stainless steel feet can make marks in a sink and the handles might get hot and hard to handle. Hope this helps.

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.

I have used this for over a year now. to be honest, never actually put it into a dish washer. I just rinse it out and refill it. I would ask the vendor if you can. I can tell you it is plastic so it may not be suitable for the high temperatures of a dishwasher. Other than that, it works really well and does not spill.

I haven't done it, but I think you could. It's solidly made out of stainless steel. The problem I see is that the opening on the top is quite small and I'm not sure how well a dishwasher would clean the inside.
