Executive Cookware in the Dishwasher?

[Mom2KL]

Does anyone know why the Executive Cookware can't be put into the dishwasher?

Not supposed to. The dishwasher detergent can hurt the finsh.

Because the heat will cause the coating to dry and flake over time. Also dishwasher detergent is very harsh (That's why your glasses get all scratchy over time) it will also wreck the coating.

It takes longer in the dishwasher than in the sink.

I thought...Does the D/W detergent leave a tiny film on the non-stick coating that will eventually take away the non-stick quality??? *confused*

The dishwasher doesn't leave a film on the nonstick, it eats it away. DW detergents are abrasive and the water is high pressure. Combined, they can scratch and eventually wear away the nonstick finish.

Just to point out while the SS cookware is dishwasher safe you technically shouldn't put any good cookware in the dishwasher because of all the things mentioned above. I will never put my SS cookware in the dishwasher, not worth the risk for me!

Hi there! As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I am happy to answer your question about the Executive Cookware and the dishwasher. The reason why this specific cookware cannot be put into the dishwasher is because it is made with a special type of metal that can be damaged by the harsh chemicals and high temperatures of the dishwasher. To preserve the quality and longevity of your Executive Cookware, it is best to hand wash it with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Thank you for being a valued customer and happy cooking!
