Absolutely it is not dishwasher safe. I would suggest that anyone should stay away from Kitchenaid cookware. Yes, they have a nice warranty…HOWEVER, after using my set only a couple of months, the red started to fade. Upon reading the fine print in that wonderful warranty, I see that you are not supposed to expose the cookware to high temperatures. SAY WHAT?? It’s COOKWARE. Okay… and then I also find in the warranty that it’s not DISHWASHER SAFE. !!!! What in the world?!? We are not living in the stone age. Who makes cookware that’s not dishwasher safe. The non-stick finish seemed to be working okay… but the red outside of the cookware looks TERRIBLE. It quickly became faded and chipped. I’m now in the market for a new set of cookware that will withstand HEAT and the DISHWASHER.

I bought my KitchenAid cookware about a year ago. They are still in great shape, despite daily use. I especially love the 12-inch covered saute pan! It’s great for making stir fry, fried rice, spaghetti sauce, grilled cheese, steak, or sauteed veggies! The helper handle really comes in handy when moving the pan. The reason why I gave it four stars is the fact that they have to be handwashed.

I bought these pots without reading the fine print and seeing that they are not dishwasher safe. After only 3 or 4 times in the dishwasher the color fades from a wonderful red to a cruddy looking light pink with white haze. In addition, the bottoms chip easily.
I wouldn’t recommend at all.
