Is Rice Cooker Pot dishwasher safe?
Sometimes — with care
Rice cooker pots are often not recommended for the dishwasher, but some models may be dishwasher safe.
Why
Most rice cooker pots have a non-stick coating that can be damaged by harsh dishwasher detergents and high heat. Additionally, the pot's aluminum core may discolor or warp in the dishwasher. Always check the manufacturer's instructions.
How to wash it
Hand wash with a soft sponge and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive scrubbers to protect the non-stick surface.
