Is Stock Pot dishwasher safe?
Sometimes — with care
Stock pots are generally dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended for longevity.
Why
Most stainless steel stock pots are dishwasher safe, but high heat and harsh detergents can damage the finish or cause discoloration. Pots with aluminum or copper cores may react with dishwasher detergents, leading to pitting or corrosion.
How to wash it
Hand wash with mild detergent and a soft sponge to preserve the pot's appearance. For stuck-on food, soak in warm soapy water before scrubbing.
