Is Loaf Pan dishwasher safe?
Sometimes — with care
Loaf pans are generally not recommended for the dishwasher, but some may be labeled dishwasher safe.
Why
Most loaf pans are made of aluminum, nonstick-coated metal, or glass. Aluminum can discolor and warp in the dishwasher, nonstick coatings can degrade, and glass may break from thermal shock. Only stainless steel or anodized aluminum pans labeled dishwasher safe should go in the dishwasher.
How to wash it
Hand wash with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive scrubbers, especially on nonstick surfaces. Dry immediately to prevent water spots.
