Is Tea Kettle dishwasher safe?
Sometimes — with care
Tea kettles are generally not recommended for the dishwasher, but some stainless steel models may be dishwasher safe.
Why
Most tea kettles are made of stainless steel, glass, or enameled steel. Stainless steel kettles without electrical components are often dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended to preserve the finish and prevent mineral buildup. Glass and enameled kettles can be damaged by harsh detergents and high heat, so hand washing is safer.
How to wash it
Hand wash with mild soap and warm water, then dry thoroughly. For stainless steel, use a non-abrasive sponge to avoid scratches.
