Which pots and pans can go in the dishwasher?

Read on for our top tips on getting the most out of your dishwasher (with a little help from Finish^® detergents!) when cleaning a variety of stainless steel kitchen items.

Even though stainless steel is one of the safest materials to put in the dishwasher, there’s a still a few tips to remember to avoid ruining your favourite cookware.³

1. Remember to remove any solid scraps from your dirty pots and pans beforehand to avoid any food particles from clogging your machine.
2. Check your item for a ‘dishwasher safe’ label. Stainless steel might be dishwasher-safe but aluminum, for example, is not.
3. Consider how you stack your dishwasher – dirty pots and pans should either go on their side, or mess-side-down on the bottom rack.
4. Add some detergent like Finish^® Power Tabs and set your machine on a specific pots and pans cycle (if possible). If your dishwasher doesn’t have this setting, simply opt for the longest cycle to really blast those baked on stains.
