Love these, too! But do you have good way to clean outside of the lid? Still going strong but look dirty/dingy - want to clean vs repurchase. Thx!

I have sled diagnosed OCD, so I feel your pain! I use Ultra Palmolive Oxy Power Degreaser dish detergent, and scrub with the rough side of a Scotch Brite dish pad. That has done great for me, and all stains come out (even spaghetti sauce!). Hope this helps, and good luck!

I have put the container in the dishwasher on the bottom and the lid either I hand wash or put on the top rack. I use them often and they still look brand new.

Very. I have had no issues in cleaning the lid. The outside is actually more stain resistant than the plastic versions I have had in the past.

I haven't put them in the dishwasher yet. I'm trying to keep them the best condition I can, as it will be my very Last set I ever buy. Though I wouldn't not nessitate at all putting the lids in. They wash up so easy and beautifully and if they are dishwasher safe, they'll take up too much room. If I recall, they are dishwasher safe. Sorry, I threw the directions away already. I do a lot of hand dish washing; only two of us.

Mine aren't dirty enough to warrant a cleaning. Suggest send it back to manufacturer or buy a new one (doubt they take trade-ins, eh...)

Sorry, we haven't tried this yet either. I can tell you that they are run through the dishwasher routinely (which runs on a hot water cycle) and there have been no signs of wear or separation. Overall these bowls have held up since December 2013 when they were purchased. I can say if you use a mixer on them they do scratch, and the lids are by no means water tight, they just sit on the bowl.

I have had my set for a couple of years now and I only hand wash them. They say you can put them in the dishwasher but I'm not so sure that they would look as good if you do. I have also found that they clean up very easily by hand so why risk it. Just a side note: I have discovered that to get off any "staining" to the inside of the pan you can soak the pan in a 50/50 mix of vinegar and water for about five minutes and they look good as new.

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've had mine for a few months and have run it through the dishwasher multiple times (I generally hand wash all of my dishes) and mine are still looking great! Youtube directions on how to clean the lid and it's actually super easy to take apart and rinse.

I use the dishwasher... Those straws are a pain in the butt to get clean any other way. I can't even be sure they are all that clean after the dishwasher but I'd think that'd be the best solution. Good luck! PS-I use one of those top rack dishwasher container thingys that you put smaller stuff in (ie. Straws, bottle nipples, small bottle parts) for the straws.

just rinse it well when you empty it, DONT wait. then when its time to wash, put about 4 inches of hot water in it and add a small squirt of dish soap. screw on the lid and shake hard for about 30 seconds. rinse well and done. no stains, no leftover smell. i've had my pair for over 3 years. i use them for iced tea and iced coffee year round.

I love this cookware. But, I haven't put it in the dishwasher for fear of the anodized outer shell of the pan coming off & maybe even getting on other dishes. I've read negative comments about that. So, it's not worth it to me. I just hand wash them. Food does come off well.

The lid,steamer tray don't get very dirty, the pot does, so I run water in it after cooled and it's super easy to hand wash. I run them in the dishwasher as the care directions say it's safe. But only every other time or so. Care and cleaning directions are very clear.

I always rinse the outside with hot tap water before I pull them out. Never had a problem. But maybe what is inside matters too. Mine was mainly frozen juice.

I wash the cups and lids all the time in the top rack and have never had a problem. The straws you should really do by hand with brush. (I ordered extra straws for that reason as I tend to put off washing them.)

I feel its a matter what's your approach to cleaning. These pans haven't been a problem for me at all. I'll soak when necessary for less difficulty in cleaning. They are holding up great and they look good as new.
