OK - so this is a silly question but according to the use and care card this is dishwasher safe - is it safe for the bottom rack?????? Mine does not fit in the top rack. Thanks in advance!!!!
 
I put my big bowl and colander on the bottom rack and they are fine.

To be sure, I would run the short wash, power saver, or air dry cycle instead of the regular one.
 
I have put them in the dish washer and haven't had any problems Knock on wood!!!
 
I've had mine for a long time. I always put them in the dishwasher--bottom rack since the big ones don't fit on top. No problem.
 
Hi there! I totally understand your concern about using our products in the dishwasher. Our use and care card states that our products are indeed dishwasher safe, however, we recommend placing them on the top rack for best results. If your product does not fit on the top rack, it should still be safe to use on the bottom rack. Just make sure to avoid placing heavy items on top of it to prevent any potential damage. Let me know if you have any other questions. Happy cooking!
