[quote=Anonymous]I think it's fine as long as you have some kind of basket that will hold the stuff in. Some dishwashers have silverware baskets that do this. Otherwise things that are lightweight can get pushed out of the basket by the water spray and fall through to the heating element. This happened to us with a plastic bottle part and it smelled awful for days. That said, we have found it easier to just use the special baskets on the top rack. Ours were like $4 for a set of two (Munchkin brand) and they work fine. The regular silverware basket has only a small area that is covered and it fills up very quickly with pacifiers and bottle parts, and things like nipples do not always get well-cleaned. Now that he's a bit older we've also got sippy cup parts and baby food containers. I find the baskets much easier, although I don't actually use them for the plastic bowls, as those fit into the top rack of our dishwasher without a basket. [/quote]
