This. My dishwasher doesn’t seem to “strip” the pans. I rarely have to do more than heat a little oil and wipe it around the pans if they go through the dishwasher.

A few years ago I had the bright idea to just use dishwasher powder for regular washing up. The cast iron pan kept needing to be reseasoned until I stopped doing that. I think that stuff might still have lye, or at least something harsh enough to mess up cast iron.

The prolonged water + heat is still bad. Last time my partner put it in there, the season was still on there, but didn't feel as smooth anymore, and there were a few rusty spots.

yep, all of the mythos about having to baby delicate cast iron basically came from the era of lye soap. . soap isnt caustic anymore, so as long as you dry it when its done (or throw it in a warm oven to dry off) you'll be fine.

Yeah. Hours more, unless you don’t mind the rust taste.

It is, and Netflix killed it just like that cast iron skillet

In all my years of dishwashering, I have only really offended my ancestral spirits once, but I doubt they will even remember it since there is so much else to be disappointed about.

Aluminium is a big one, that shit will oxidise to hell and back in a dishwasher as the detergent is caustic.

There's a brand of Japanese knives that don't have a handle, one piece.

Sha Ra Ku Mono

The best knife I have ever held. Buy it for life. There's another Japanese brand called Global and they are one piece but not as amazing to hold as the Sha Ra Ku Mono. My wife was a professional chef so we splurged to get her a full set over the years. The bread knife is a fucking chainsaw man... You have to really be careful or it'll bite you HARD.

I think only one place outside of Japan sells them. https://seacut.com/collections/sha-ra-ku-mono

Most dishwashers will handle most things of that nature when working correctly and used correctly.

There are around 3 hours of videos on Technology Connections on Dishwashers and the various opportunities to experience a skill issue when using them, starting with this one which covers the important bits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rBO8neWw04 , or if you just want the protips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHP942Livy0

Edit, I don't remember how I got here, but I didn't realize this was an ancient post, my b.

Don't know what is involved in your process, but recently I made some baked vegies with cheese in a ceramic tray, and the only difference is, I had to run dishwasher on a long mode instead of regular eco mode I use. Then I wiped it with a towel and it was as clean as it was the day I bought it. I don't know what to tell you, it's a normal German dishwasher, nothing out of the ordinary. It's a new one, the house I'm renting in is like 3 years old, maybe that's the difference. But my previous one was some older model, and I also don't remember any troubles with it.
