    Depends on the material. Check an index like this.

    Keep in mind if you have a heated dry cycle this will effect cutting edges (wont hold after mulitple cycles) and plastics (may melt or burn).

    Stainless steel should almost always be good.

    If the manual says not to, then I would tend to avoid doing so. If that’s the case, and you’re getting oils burned on to it, I’d suggest using Dawn Power Wash on it, and a non-abrasive scrubbing pad.

    I don’t because my basket has a nonstick coating. Dishwashers typically use abrasive detergents so I opt to hand wash mine

      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.

        If the nonstick coating is Teflon, then it should be more than dishwasher safe. (that’s what ours has)

      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.

      Interesting. So maybe if I put it in without detergent?

        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.

    Dishwashers use a combination of enzymes (in the detergent) that breakdown food, heat, and abrasion to clean dishes. Don’t put anything nonstick in one unless you like Teflon poisoning or your nonstick items to be stick items. Steel is fine, and aluminum will oxidize and look bad, but will still work. I assume the basket isn’t plastic, so no worries there, but don’t put melamine in the dishwasher either.

    Why not? You think it’s going to melt in the dishwasher while simultaneously being able to survive being inside an oven?

      I don’t know and I’m skeptical, which is why I ask.

          I’m just always skeptical about things that say they aren’t dishwasher safe or require a delicate cycle in the laundry. Example, some water bottles say they aren’t dishwasher safe but in reality they’re fine on the top rack. Stuff like that.

            A lot of the time, products will say “not dishwasher safe” not because the item would be functionally damaged, but because it would be cosmetically damaged, and the company doesn’t want to deal with complaints about a plastic handle changing from glossy to matte.
