[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I use mine every day- in the dishwasher. the large spoons need polishing but the forks are fine. they are mixed up with our alessi stainless steel set snd treated exactly the same with zero issues. no warping or anything.[/quote] The dishwasher issues as I understand it are twofold: 1) Risk of chemical reactions that could pit the silverware (this is rare and might depend on chemistry of your water, soap, other metals in the dishwasher, etc.) 2) Knives are assembled in a way that heat can damage. My mom had a stainless set with this problem. Over time the blades can separate from the handle. These aren't great risks. It's just important to know about them if you are concerned about wearing out items. Silverplate was originally designed for handwashing because dishwashers were rare or not invented yet.[/quote]
