Is KitchenAid Cookware dishwasher safe?
Sometimes — with care
KitchenAid cookware is generally not recommended for the dishwasher, though some stainless steel pieces may be labeled dishwasher safe.
Why
Most KitchenAid cookware has nonstick coatings or aluminum cores that can degrade in the dishwasher. Even stainless steel pieces may discolor or lose their finish. The manufacturer typically advises hand washing to preserve performance and appearance.
How to wash it
Wash by hand with mild detergent and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads.
