I don’t think putting something into the diswasher without detergent works. That way it’s just sprayed with hot water and probably still half dirty when it comes out. And running the machine almost empty isn’t very energy efficient either. At that point you could as well rinse it off in the sink.
Same. They say it’s dishwasher safe and then I look at the very not dishwasher safe coating and start to suspect they’d prefer it wear out as quickly as possible so I buy another fryer within a year. It’s easy to just wash anyway.
True. I used to put my non-stick pans into the dishwasher. And they survive for quite some time… But they’ll degrade. And I bought a new one and stopped doing it. Usually non-stick coating, wood, aluminium and things with mechanincs inside are a bad idea. And most of the things that clearly state they aren’t diswasher safe. The rest should state if it’s diswasher safe. Either in the manual or on a small stamp somewhere on the product.
I don’t because my basket has a nonstick coating. Dishwashers typically use abrasive detergents so I opt to hand wash mine
Interesting. So maybe if I put it in without detergent?

Mine says dishwasher safe, but also mentions it will last longer if you hand wash. (If I remember correctly.)
