Follow the directions and hand wash. The chemicals in the dishwasher soap would probably harm the metal in both the lids and rack.

I've been dishwashing mine for years. The aluminum pits and attracts hard water deposits, as will any aluminum put in the dishwasher with corrosive (read: pretty much any) detergent over time. But it just looks kind of ratty; the aluminum is heavy enough that doesn't impact use or sturdiness at all.

This probably isn't what you're looking for. I don't think the slots are wide enough for lids other than canning lids. Maybe one of the coated shelving stackable units you can buy in kitchen sections of department stores would meet your needs?

I only use mine when I'm canning. I put the jar rings in a small lidded basket for the dishwasher and wash the seals by hand. It's absolutely not a problem hand washing this little jewel.

Why would you ever need to wash this rack? You only use it to boil clean lids. How does that make it dirty?

I know this is an old question but just saw it. Do you mean that you reuse canning lids because you use them on jars that aren't canned? There are plastic lids that fit the canning jars that might be better for you, if that is what you are talking about.

I don't plan to put mine in the dishwasher. I think the ball on the top is wooden so I'm not sure what the dish washer will do to that piece only. I just read the description and it says that the handle is removable for storage. So it looks like it can go in the dish washer once you remove the wooden ball!

I have washed the lids on the top rack of my dishwasher and they have done just fine. However, it should be noted that we rarely used the heat dry cycle and let our dishes air dry. The stainless steel mug is just fine in the dishwasher also. I have placed the colored versions in the dishwasher and some of the coating has peeled. I would buy them again and again and again though, regardless. I love these mugs. They never spill and my car stays clean. I do suggest that if you buy them you wash them on the top rack only and don't use the heat dry cycle on them. I've had mine for almost one year and they are great.

I run mine through the dishwasher all the time! I separate that parts and place the lid in the glass rack and the parts to the lid in the silverware basket. Never had a problem!

I only hand wash the snapware container and air dry it. This works very well for me-I have never desired to put it into a dishwasher.

I've washed mine in the dishwasher. Just like tupperware though, top rack only.

I put them in my dishwasher twice (top rack and then in the holder for the silverware) and they got warped so I wouldn't. It's much easier to hand wash, soak them if you need to but I wouldn't recommend the dishwasher.

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.

i do put this in the dishwasher a few times. The seal can get a bit loose so I would hand wash the lid.

I only use the dishwasher to wash the inner containers maybe twice, I used the top rack indeed, however I do prefer hand washed everything most of the time because it's quicker.

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.

The newer design has a little snap-tight flap under the lid that you open, then just put it in the dishwasher. I also put the older style lid (without the opening flap) in the dishwasher and haven't had any problems.

The box says hand wash, so that is what I have done. Sorry, I do not know if they are top rack ok in dishwasher

Hi Dennis, I have put mine in the dishwasher (top rack) without problem, but in response to your question, I double-checked for the dishwasher safe symbol and found it. I, personally, tend to hand wash and not microwave the containers as much as possible. I have no scientific proof that it helps the container life or effectiveness or not, I just tend to treat my green containers differently than the other plastic.

Yes, I put mine in the dishwasher all the time. Lid on top rack, bottle on bottom or too if it fits.

I put only the metal part in the dishwasher and I hand wash the lids. My friend puts both in her dishwasher but she has a fancier, temp controlled machine and I don't.

The label states dishwasher safe, lid in top rack. I don't know how effective it is as I haven't tried this and hand wash mine.

Hi! The jars are definitely dishwasher safe. I would be careful with the lids. I've had them for almost 3 months and decided to wash them by hand and let them air dry. I have noticed small sections that started to rust. My recommendation would be to wash the lids by hand and dry them immediately. The jars are super cute though and a hit with our children guests.
