Can you wash the pot's handle, or do you need to take it off to wash the pot?

I do not remove the handle on my tea pot. I use the teapot almost every day and I just rinse it out. I use dish soap only occasionally. I never let the handle stay down in water and soak. I have had the set for maybe six months. So far the handle looks just fine.

I wash it without disassembling it. Lots of soapy water and rinse well. Done. Even will put it in the dishwasher. Comes out fine. I would not take it apart.

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.

So far, it is very easy. The instructions say that hot water and soap are all you need. I know it is not dishwasher safe, so I have been running water in the pot, a splash of soap, rinse. I washed it when I bought it and after every 2-3 uses; if I boil water and use the entire pot, I leave the lid up and let it air dry and dont bother washing it. We have hard water, so in glassware, I have to keep an eye out for hardwater rings - that is why I clean it every couple of uses and not every single use. Hope this helps!!! :-)

Unfortunately the pot is not removable, but, you can fry without the basket being that there is not an exposed element right in the frying pot. Hope this helps, it is a nice fryer, simple, without a lot of special toots and whistles. The top, removable fryer basket, removable particle screen and filter are all dishwasher safe.

The inner pot could go in the dishwasher(its big). We don't bother since its so easy to clean.

I rinse mine off in hot water as soon as I pour the milk out and set it on a dish towel to dry. Never had to put it in the dishwasher. It is coated on the inside. I love mine. 1 cup of microwaved whole milk, pour in, put the lid on and push the handle up and down about 30 times lift off, pour in cup of pre sweetened coffee, rinse insert and wash the pot by hand. Enjoy. It is the best. Nothing to break. You can also make foaming hot chocolate.

The pressure cooker pot is dishwasher safe but the top needs to be hand washed.

It does not need to be washed at all. .believe me, I have been using it for many times and tap it twice gently on any hard material (very gently ) remember interior from ceramic & exterior made out of steel so water is not really good option if u wanna make it last forever... If you are camping like i do don't hesitate to buy ;) Cheers!

I don't wash mine in the dishwasher, but just under running water in the sink. Water gets into the handles and is a nuisance because then the next time I use the press it drips water from the handles. Therefore I try to shake the water out of the handles as much as I can before I put it away.

You can remove the silver part of the lid to wash, not the entire lid. Since the only part that gets dirty after cooking is the silver one.

Yes, the pot with lid can be washed in dishwasher. I personally don't put pots and pans in dishwasher.

The pot does separate from the base and can be immersed in water but shouldnt be put in the dishwasher.

can you clarify your problem? it can be a little hard to pull the lid up and off, after you've rotated the handle to the near-vertical position, but it's just suction and will eventually go away, also lift the pour spout. it's a tight fit, lid to mixing container, that is. usually i don't need dishwasher if i clean it right away it just all washes off with water, soap, spray.

I wash mine with dish detergent. Run it under water to get it wet, then put a few drops of detergent on both sides, agitate the surface with your fingers. Afterwards, run it under the water again to rinse while squeezing the excess suds/soap out. When you're finished let it air dry.

I have to agree with the two previous answers and have always washed the pot by hand. This is due to the size and I also like to wash and dry the pot so it comes out looking like new. We do not put any good stainless cookware, knives or other expensive items in the dishwasher. I believe you will extend the life and looks of this pot by hand washing. Good luck with your choice.
