Is Deli Containers dishwasher safe?
Sometimes — with care
Deli containers are generally dishwasher safe, but it depends on the specific material and quality.
Why
Most disposable deli containers are made of polypropylene (PP, #5) which is dishwasher safe on the top rack, but repeated high heat can cause warping or cracking. Reusable deli containers may be labeled dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended to extend their lifespan.
How to wash it
Place on the top rack away from the heating element, or hand wash with warm soapy water and air dry.
