Do the outside of these pans hold up well in the dishwasher? The hard anodized gets gray water stains.

The outside doesn't get spots--but we wash these by hand as we did notice the handles are slightly loose.

True but you can wash them in the dishwasher without ruining them. The water stains wipe ofg with viniger

I have never put them in the dishwasher as I bought this set for my travel trailer. However, these pans are painted on the outside so I believe they will be fine in dishwasher, not like unpainted hard anodized aluminum. You could also call T -fal. Really don't need to put in dishwasher though as they cleanup very easy.

Honestly, I haven't places them in the dishwasher out of fear. I will say that the outside does get scratched easily. I am very careful with them. I love them and they look great but if you don't mind washing by hand then you should get them. Maybe they will be fine in a dishwasher especially the newer gentler washers that use specific soaps

I have been putting mine in the dishwasher almost daily for the past year. They still look and work fine. I rinse them out and put the pieces, standing up, in the utensil holder. This is a wonderful product.

I have defintely cleaned them in the dishwasher without any ill effects. I am very pleased overall with my cookware set and can offer only positive comments. I am a mother of 5 children so I have used my cookware non-stop and all of it looks fabulous.

I've had mine over 3 months and wash them constantly in the dishwasher in the utensil rack and they show no signs of wear. I love these!

They don't really go bad unless they have been used a LOT and roughly. I wouldn't put the top on the lower rack of your dishwasher and use high heat for drying, but I honestly never ruined one. I had a set of these I bought several years ago and, one by one, kept having the experience of not getting them back when I loaned them out. Never had one with a hole in it or whose top stopped fitting or whatever. I like them better than any of my other bakeware - even the expensive stuff.

I have had them for quite a while now and must admit I keep asking myself this same question....mine look slightly stained and don't have quite the same perfect roundness to their shape after lots of use and several exposures to the dishwasher, and I'm not sure if they would look better or worse if I had never put them in the dishwasher. I do occasionally but not always. A majority of the time I wash them by hand. The good news is that they are still functional and very useful.

I gotta tell you... I love this set but its funny you mention it. Sometimes when they come out of the dishwasher, one piece will have a little spot of rust. But it wipes right off. Not sure why it happens. But I don't mind it, they are so shiny and nice. I don't have any issues with staining.

I do wash mine in the dishwasher about 75% of the time. They still look and preform great. We do have very good treated water in our home it may make a difference. You will not be sorry with these pots and pans.

I put mine through the dishwasher and eventually they started rusting very badly under the lip of the pan. I would highly recommend hand washing.

yes, they are completely dishwasher safe. have been using them for a couple of years and the pans are still looking new.

Absolutely! I have had a set for approximately 16 years, and some of my well worn pans are wearing out. I never put them in the dishwasher or use a harsh scrubbing device on them, and like one lady's complaint of not being able to use a mixer to mash potatoes in them . . . well, that is a given. It seems to me that anyone would know not to do that.

Yes they are. I'm a happy , been using for over a year now. Half of the stuff in this package are used almost daily, so far they are like new. Best part, unlike few other anodized cookware, these are dishwasher safe. It's bit pricy, but over a period of at least 10 years it'll payoff. Cook & eat healthy, stay away from Teflon.

I have the ones with black handles and put them in the dishwasher all the time. Don't know why the silver handles would be any different unless maybe it would cause discoloration.

I have had mine for well over a year and have no problems with the non stick quality. My husband is hard on my cookware and these have held up great. And they regularly go in my dishwasher!

I've had one of my pans for about 5 yrs, it still cooks evenly, shows no wear and I still love it . Pans show no wear after years of use, I should let you know I do not place my skillets in the dishwasher. I hand wash.

If you put it in the dishwasher, the coating will come off of the exterior and you will be left with a gray metal, somewhat rough finish. Maybe that's it?

I've put mine in the dishwasher since I purchased. They seem to have held up well.
