Cookware with non-stick coating

Regular machine washing of such pans may lead to deterioration of the coating quality.

However, if the manufacturer has indicated the possibility of using a dishwasher to clean utensils, then this can be done.

Aluminum cookware

As a result of "processing" in the dishwasher, thin aluminum utensils can become dull and scratched.

Cast iron cookware

Excessive amounts of water and harsh cleaning agents can negatively affect the condition of the protective oil layer.

It is possible that after this the dishes will quickly rust.

Wooden utensils

Cleaning products intended for dishwashers are also dangerous for materials such as wood.

It is possible that the result of washing will be the appearance of a huge number of cracks on the dishes.

Sharp kitchen tools

You should also not wash knives and graters in the dishwasher. They can seriously damage the grates used in the appliance.
