Is Cocktail Shaker dishwasher safe?
Sometimes — with care
Cocktail shakers are generally not recommended for the dishwasher, but some stainless steel models may be dishwasher safe.
Why
Most cocktail shakers are made of stainless steel, which is dishwasher safe, but the rubber or plastic seals and lids can warp or degrade in high heat. Glass shakers may break, and metal finishes can tarnish. Many manufacturers recommend hand washing to preserve the shaker's performance and appearance.
How to wash it
Hand wash with warm soapy water and a soft sponge, rinse thoroughly, and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the metal or damage seals.
