Knowing what can and cannot be washed in your dish-
washer is important. Most tableware, cookware and sil-
verware can be washed safely in your dishwasher. If you
have any doubts about an item, check with the manufac-
turer. If you cannot reach the manufacturer, simply test-
wash one small item for several washes before
attempting to wash an entire set.
