I bought an 18 pc set of knives and the block but am now wondering if they can be put in the dishwasher?

Yes, you can. I've seen other reviews mention rust or tarnish. Never happened with our knives and they were in the dishwasher many times.

I've had this set for around 8 or 9 years. I always used mine in the dishwasher. The little tags fell off, but I don't care. I don't need a tag to tell me what kind of knife I'm using. They do have a little rusty discoloration on them, that's why I'm replacing mine. It was cheaper to buy a whole set here versus paying shipping and handling charges on the warranty replacements.

I put mine in the dishwasher, but be warned, if you don't take them out right away, they can get a little rust in them. This looks more like a little discoloration, but that is what the dishwasher can do. This doesn't bother me, and the knives still work great. So I guess it really depends what you are okay with.

I have had these knives for several years and they do occasionally go into the dishwasher with NO problems. However, you should not make a practice of putting any knife in the dishwasher, but wash your knives by hand. It's easier on the blades and better for them.

If you put them in the dishwasher the little name tags come off but apart from that I washed my first set for 8 years without a problem :)

Yes. These are terrific knives. I bought a second set, I was so pleased with the first set. They are sharp, and remain sharp, so be careful. No problem in the dishwasher. They come out clean and fine.

No because its a knife,you should clean immediately after usage and never put a good blade in a dishwasher.

Reading on their website I found that they are dishwasher safe. I had to look into it for you because I'm old fashioned and done put my knives in the dishwasher. I had a food instructor tell me at one point it was not good to put any knife in the dishwasher because it makes them dull faster and messes up the handle. My husband had put them in the dishwasher a few times tho and they seem to be fine. I hope that this helped and whatever you choose to do with them I know that you will love them.

Do not put the knives in the dishwasher. The edge will definitely lose its sharpness

It's possible the dishwasher created an environment for rust. Now I hand wash these knives.

I hand wash mine. After using the dishwasher a few times on a couple of the knives, there were rust spots that I had to get off. The spots came off, but I'd rather not have to worry about that at all.

I had the same question, so I called Cuisinart today to check on this issue. They say the knives are NOT dishwasher safe and that if they were it would be indicated on the box (which it is not).

I have had the knife set for 11 months and they have all been in the dishwasher many, many times with no problems. If I remember correctly the manufacturer recommended hand washing and drying them right away. I guess that is the proper knife cleaning procedure for any knife. We use ours way to much to be that fussy all the time so in the dishwasher they go. Sometimes I will hand wash if only one is used but so often we have many out at the same time which would be a lot of work cleaning them by hand constantly. We really like the knife set and they are holding up very well.

I would not put them in the dishwasher as they are porous stone and all the soap residue would stay inside the stone. So, no dishwasher at all. If you use these a lot eventually they will get this lovely oily coating so they almost become non-stick. But this will only happen if you a) don't put them in the dishwasher and b) don't use soap on them at all. I wash all my stoneware by scrubbing with really hot water and some course salt. NO SOAP.I don't know what you mean by "adequate size for regular oven use". Yes, I can fit all four in my regular oven and they have worked well there too.

so they tell you to not put them in the dish washer because the dish wash dulls the knifes. Mine got spot rust on them after being cleaned in the dishwasher. The ones I hand washed have not rusted.

I tried it once and they came out spotty, even though I have a high efficiency dishwasher with spot rinse. I polished out the spot and now wash and dry them by hand. They are worth it though. They look better hand-washed. They are great knives, sharp, plus look great on counter top. It's not a big deal to hand wash them. I'd buy them again or give as a gift. Good luck.

Yes. We put them in the dishwasher. Careful to keep them from touching other silverware.

I think why you shouldn't is it may dull the blades. I don't put anything of value in the dishwasher. I don't even soak my Rada knives. I absolutely love them.
