Does this stockpot have to be hand washed or can it be put in the dishwasher?

I suppose you could but why would you want to. It cleans up in a jiffy. Besides it would take up a lot of room in the dishwasher.

We would not wash our analon in the dishwasher even if they recommended it. In our experience, high speed food particles -- we have a great dishwasher -- can damage the surface over time.

I put it in the dishwasher. It's really high quality and does not scratch. Fares well in the oven as well.

It should not be put in the dishwasher. It probably will discolor the pan and it will void the warranty.

I usually hand wash but if I'm very busy or there's a lot of foodstuff on the rim and exterior, then I'll put in the bottom rack of the dishwasher with the tines down so that they don't rub the surface.I get a little water marking with the washer, but otherwise OK. I'll hand wash 75% of the time with all my teflon or anodized.

I prefer to hand-wash with dish-soap and warm water. After being used, I fill it with hot water, leave it for some time then do the hand-washing. It is not a hard job, because it has a good non-stick surface. I do not wash my stockpot, skillet-pans in dishwashing machine. Therefore, I do not know if it is dishwasher safe or ot.

The base can be removed so pot can be hand washed in soapy water. Lid can be washed in dishwasher...top rack only.

I've only washed it in the dishwasher a couple of times but have had no issue. However, I usually wash by hand.

Since it's all stainless-steel (even the handles), I don't see any way it could NOT be dishwasher safe! Although I DO have a dishwasher in my apartment, I never use it -- *I* am the dishwasher, so I wash this pot (and everything else) by hand -- it's just easier for me. Still, there's nothing on the pot to be harmed by being inside a dishwasher and would not be concerned about that at all.

I wouldn't put it in the dishwasher. It is a great piece that hand washes easily. I would purchase it again.

I usually wash it by hand but I have put it in the dishwasher twice with no problem. Comes out great. Love this pan.

I have not tried washing it in the dishwasher but I think it says to just wash with soap and warm (not boiling) water. My dishwasher tends to run on the hot side so I just wash it by hand.

I personally do not have a dishwasher, but I think handwashing is better for this pot because it is somewhat fragile. I would think it easier to clean inside the spout by hand. Be careful! I read a few testamonials where people said they broke the pot by bumping it too hard on the sink or something.

I'm sorry, I don't know if the manufacturers considers it so, but I do not put mine in the dishwasher because I want it to hold the seasoned cooking surface it has built. The point of this pot is the delicious moist flavor it produces. If you don't boil rice in it till it sticks and keep it well seasoned it's very easy to clean. I also do not use regular harsh dish soap on mine. I use a natural dish soap and VERY little of it and then let it dry naturally. After it's dry, I put a little Olive oil in and rub it around. If well cared for you will never have to but another of these. Wonderful heirloom too.

I have neved put it in the dishwasher so I don't really know. I usually wash it by hand right after I use it.

I wouldn't put it in the dishwasher because it could make the feet fall off. It is quite easy to wash by hand. I don't remove the wire because it is a pain to put it back together again.

I always hand wash, I believe it could go in the dishwasher though. It comes apart nicely and it does work great.

No. The manufacturer recommends hand washing only. I found this true of all higher quality cookware.

It's so big it would never fit in my dishwasher. It's commercial grade and they always go through dishwasher in a professional setting. I hand wash. Sure love this pot for stock. Perfect size.

I never put into a dishwasher. I always do hand wash. I would think it is not dishwasher safe.

It is all stainless so would assume it is dishwasher safe but I hand wash mine.

I hand wash mine. After using the dishwasher a few times on a couple of the knives, there were rust spots that I had to get off. The spots came off, but I'd rather not have to worry about that at all.
