Is this cheese slicer stainless steel? I have a similar one that I've put in the dishwasher & the finish is coming off.

It states on Amazon that it is made of heavy duty zinc alloy. I didn't realize it when my husband purchased it. I too placed it in the dishwasher and the finish started coming off also. It states that hand washing is recommended, another thing I didn't realize when my husband purchased it. It is however a very nice cheese slicer. I hope that helps.

I don't have the packaging any more but, judging by its weight, I'm pretty sure it is stainless steel.

Hi Darlene, It is very heavy but I'm not sure if it's stainless steel. I never have put it in my dishwasher, just because I was concerned that it might loose it's finish.

I'm not sure. I don't think so. The frame appears to be cast and coated. The roller appears to be aluminum. The Adjustment screws appear to be brass. I had the same discoloration problem with an older one so i don't put this one in the dishwasher. I just rinse and wipe dry. Some things you just can't put in the dishwasher.

I have not cleaned it in a dishwasher as at this time (I am remodeling now for one!) I am doing dishes by hand. BUT.... it sure looks like it would be fine. It is a good hard plastic and stainless so it should be fine. I clean it now with a little Comet when I clean my sink. I love it.. it looks cute and it does its job!

No, it is not stainless steel, it is a plastic housing that is painted a metallic grey. Looks fine and works great for me, I am very happy with it.

It appears to have a brushed metal interior surface but not stainless steel. I'd contact Cuisinart to get specifics.

Hi, Karl. I cannot find anywhere that it says it's stainless but I have used this for cutting small branches/trees and TRIED to crack open coconuts and it cleans up pretty well; no stains. I hope that helps.

Yes it is stainless steel. The new ones are so just make sure you don't buy a used one. I highly recommend it. Doesn't take much more effort than microwave popcorn and it's way better. I melt butter and pour it on after popcorn rests at least a minute in a big bowl. And then I sprinkle the Parmesan Romano cheese from trader joes (red label) on top. A few rounds of butter and cheese and it's delicious!!! Enjoy. Just had to add in the cheese popcorn recipe because it's amazing!!!

Yes! I put mine in the dishwasher all the time. At first, with it being as shiny as polished silver, I was afraid to put it in there. I had to keep reminding myself that it's stainless steel, and it's fine. I've had mine for about 9 months, and put them in the dishwasher regularly. The only problem I've had, is sometimes it'll get little water spots. Those just wipe off, though, so it's not a real problem. Know that even using a scotch-brite type scrubber will leave tiny scratches. I avoid those, and accept that if I'm using them all the time, they're going to get some wear. They're still as bright as they were when new. Yes! I put mine in the dishwasher all the time. At first, with it being as shiny as polished silver, I was afraid to put it in there.

This scooper is Stainless Steel which is why I bought it. We use it at the Hofbrauhaus Las Vegas Restaurant where I work and it has held up fine. Most of the scoopers are aluminum and they don't hold up to a dishwasher but stainless does. Hope this helps.

The manual/pamphlet says in bold caps "do not wash any part of the slicer in dishwasher". They don't explain why but a lot of good knives say not to wash in dishwasher either...

I wouldn't put this in the dishwasher. I just give it a swish in soapy water, rinse and let it dry on one of those spongy drying pads before I put it away. Pretty easy to maintain and it works great. I've done the same with previous can openers that eventually rusted and just looked nasty. I looked for stainless to avoid that and this one is the best-NO problems, stayed sharp.

My observation is that very little of it is stainless steel. The cutters and the disks appear to be stainless. The hopper is aluminum and the body of the unit is cast metal of some sort, Apparently, it is not recommended to wash the unit in the dishwasher. I did (for sanitation purposes) and the auger turned black....actually looks kinda nice. Disappointed that cannot wash in dishwasher.

No, it is stainless however and very easy to clean. This is a good quality stainless, not a cheapie.

The cutting assembly appears to be stainless steel. I haven't had any problems with it and it cleans up very well, no rusting,etc.

Yes, all parts are stainless. I've used this quite a few times now, run it through the dishwasher, and it works just as well as it did the day I got it. I'm very pleased with it.

No, it is not stainless steel. However, I hav used it many times and it has held up nicely.

The finish is soft/satin type finish. It's not shiny. I have stainless steel appliances and it looks great. I was a bit concerned when I ordered, but they look great and work great.
