Can I put the strainer in the dishwasher?

I don't think it is recommended. I think it would probably rust. The instructions say to spray the pieces with non-stick spray before storage to keep from rust but I found rubbing with cooking oil worked better. The spray made a sticky residue when I used it the next year.

I think it needs to be handwashed. Then the metal pieces have to be oiled to prevent rust.

I assume you mean the screen. Not sure about that, I always wash in sudsy water with a bottle brush so that I can get everything out of the holes. It will seem rusty if you do not dry it right away.

Yes, it can go in the dishwasher/top rack. or by hand.... There isn't really a filter, per say....just tiny tiny holes in the top to keep air circulating. works very well...bw

Easily. Just make sure you have a wooden pestle or similar tool to gently for the material through the strainer.

The colander is dishwasher safe on the top shelf. However, my wife tells me she never put it in the dishwasher for fear of it warping. So I would not recommend for straining pasta.

I would think you could put it in the dishwasher but it has a wooden handle and I do not put any items with a wooden handle in the dishwasher.

Not always but you can. I don't feel the need to unless I drop it and get dirt under it. The dishwasher should be good enough in my opinion. Plus, it doesn't affect anything, it's just a grip.

I haven't done it, but I think you could. It's solidly made out of stainless steel. The problem I see is that the opening on the top is quite small and I'm not sure how well a dishwasher would clean the inside.

Yes,the strainer is removable and fits in there just right. I bought the black one and I am very happy with it. It looks and like a ceramic cookie jar.

I never put mine in the dishwasher. I just wash with soap and water, and let it dry thoroughly. Easy peasy.

Yes. But you can lift out the strainer part and set a finer strainer within it. It would have to be a large one though but it would work in a pinch. Hope this helps you.

Yes. It was a gift for my mom, but she puts it in the dishwasher. It has been fine.

Sorry, I haven't used mine yet. But when I do, I will probably put it in the dishwasher.

Yes, you can put this in the dishwasher BUT you must first unscrew a small cap inside the lid and wash it separately (also in the dishwasher). Taking off that small cap lets the water flow through the lid for cleaning. It's easy enough to do.

Margaret, you can also put it in the dishwasher. Works just fine. ...Deb at HC Essentials

Hi,Thanks for your question. No, the strainer does not come with the sink. It would have to be purchased separately.

I put the stainless steel blending shaft and whisk attachment (top rack) in the dishwasher. I believe you can put the chopping bowl and cover in the dishwasher as well but I never use those items because they are useless.

I haven't washed mine in the dishwasher, but I think it would be quite safe to do so as long as you removed the filter from the lid.
