18 Things You Should Never Put in the Dishwasher (Even If You’re Tempted)

5. Nonstick Pans

Although some are labeled dishwasher-safe, repeated dishwasher use can wear down the nonstick coating more quickly.

6. Copper Cookware

Dishwasher detergents may discolor copper and reduce its polished appearance.

7. Fine China

Delicate china with decorative finishes can chip, fade, or crack in the dishwasher.

8. Crystal Glassware

High temperatures and strong water pressure may leave crystal cloudy or even cause it to crack.
