I’ve noticed it’s extremely common for things to be advertised as dishwasher safe, but once you open the box, the instructions recommend hand washing.

I’ve started doing a lot more research when buying things because of this. It seems like every pot and pan does this, not just All-Clad.

Stainless steel is your best bet if you want something you can put in the dishwasher consistently and not have it do anything weird.

Maybe unit is an Atlantic divide issue, but I don't know many people that put pots and pots in the dishwasher. Putting fatty pans in there is sure to ruin not just your pipes but also the internal machinery of the dishwasher, notably if it's a water saving one

Ive been happy with All-Clad, but last ones I bought was horrible quality, this explains much. Brands living off their reputation, but private equity running them into the ground.

This website is obviously AI generated down to the "Number Noun, Number Noun" section headers, "authored" by someone with a questionable background. I don't know why HN keeps upvoting articles from it.

Don't worry. A flood of half-assed excuses for genuinely bad, annoying prose is being dispatched to your comment now.

The internet is becoming a joke.

For real, not sure why HN does not take seriously the fact the reporting farming accounts should be nowadays a baked in feature.

I appreciate that it’s minimal in functionality, but times changes and slop infiltrates every single platform, HN no exception

Just get cast iron
pretendscholar•24m ago
Why do that when steel is lighter, easier to clean, easier to maintain?
irishcoffee•20m ago
The joy of working with seasoned cast iron cannot be overstated.

Heavy isn’t bad, we could all do with a bit of exercise. Easier to clean and maintain I disagree with, if you’re willing to do a bit of work up front.

Just gotta stay ahead of the heat curve!

Also well seasoned cast iron is dishwasher safe, there is very little you can do to kill a cast iron pan.

The joy of working with a well seasoned carbon steel pan is similar, I find

If you don't mind waiting half an hour for it to heat up. (semi-/s)

There are plenty of times where you do not need or want the heat capacity of cast iron, and it's actually a 'con' for the dish. Never mind that you don't really want to cook anything that's acidic (e.g., tomatoes) in it.

Certainly having cast iron in your tool box isn't a bad idea, but stainless steal has all sorts of other advantages. And if you want something less sticky but still responsive, there's also carbon steal.

After my AllClad pans have started to get the sharp edges from dishwasher corrosion of the aluminum layer, I've been switching to Hestan Nanobond. It's not exactly nonstick, but the surface is so hard and polished that things don't stick very much and you can use metal implements without scratching the pan.

But I think AllClad has switched to sealed-rims on their pans, thus making them truly dishwasher-safe?

jbdamask•46s ago
I can't tell if this thread is real or not.

But, uh, I have All Clad pots and pans and still like them. The bottoms warped on a couple so I replaced them with other brands.

In general they hold up well when hand-washed.

The handles are terrible though. Maybe it's a UX nudge to always use a pot holder?

Hikikomori•2m ago
I have one of each more or less. Stainless are great as they can stick and you can use the sucs for pan sauces, but can also be essentially non stick if handled correctly.
